Guest Longtime Lurker Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A few weeks ago I was quite ambivalent about the Olympics but it has been gripping! I have loved watching all the different sports and having the temporary 20 + BBC channels has meant you could pick and choose what you watched. Not sure about spending £80M on the opening ceremony though :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieF8 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 It cost £27m (US $40m) and was worth every penny Beijing Opening Ceremony US $100m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Longtime Lurker Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It cost £27m (US $40m) and was worth every penny Beijing Opening Ceremony US $100m That's better than the figure I read! I couldn't work out how they could spend £80M on one night - good though it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Tibenham Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What a day :jiggy: Team GB - you were fantastic. Impossible to pick any one of the gold medal winners over another - you were all brilliant :biggrin:. Felt sorriest for our men's lightweight double sculls - those poor boys were heartbroken to get a silver medal. Come on fellas, heads up, be proud - you took part in the Olympics, you qualified for a final and you won a medal - you're stars in my book :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz bound pom Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Team GB. 14. Gold Team Australia 1. Gold. 15 now and hopefully a few more to come, Should be too for all the investment and hard work put in by all involved. Although Bradley must be fave for SPOTY I still think its a shame that it generally tends to go to high achievers in the more ''popular/publicised'' sports, but surely after today Ainslie should be right up there as a favourite, or lifetime achievement award winner at least.

I can't imagine what he must have gone through last night, when he came up with the idea to do his little bit of selective copy/pasting Maybe it was similar to what Einstein went through when he came up with the Theory of Relativity :goofy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Watched the women's marathon last night, which was good, as usual and marvelled at the bright green of the London plane trees along the route. It was one good memory that stayed in my mind from my last visit in 1967. Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
