Guest Andy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It would have been just as good or even better outside of London , the world would still have turned up and the ages wud ave lost nothing. No one would be interested if they held the games in Birmingham, they may as well hold them on the Isle of Man :nah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desreb Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sat 2ft in front of the TV the entire hour.... amazing. I'm not sure how many of the 1bn(?) people watching will be able to relate to everything there, but as a 30-something Brit I'll happily selfishly indulge in the entire experience. It makes me proud to be British, proud to be a Londoner, and, with the possible exception of one big party our old circle of friends had a few months back, the most I've missed home since I moved to Oz.

You may hook some but I've yet to see you play one properly and bring 'em to the boat. As soon as you experience the fight, you have nothing left to give and you cut the line and let 'em loose.

Slean Wolfhead Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well theyre here now mate,best to make the most of them ehTbh Andy i did a little straw poll in work today,working on an old warehouse in the city centre,was on the scaff pointing a vestibule outside a big room the lads have made a canteen,so i had the steel doors open so i could point. There was about 15 to 20 in there of various ages,i said "so are yez gonna be watching the ceremony?are yer arsed about the olympics?" A few replied in different ways but it was more or less the same meaning as one said,IE "nah,its not for us is it" I said "what d'yer mean,because its London?" he said "yeah its always ...ing London innit,new wembley could have been in the centre of the country ,in staffs maybe,but nah its gotta be ...ing London hasnt it" I said "maybe on the national stadium one yeah,BUT theres plenty of merseyside athletes competing in the games,wont yer watch them?" Answer off most of them was "yeah,we'l watch the boxers from liverpool,but the games are all for London,no one else" I said "well nowhere else is realy big enuf,plus i think the olympic commitee decreed it had to be a capital city that won it"no answer! Anyway,it showed me theres a fair bit of apathy amongst some,me?like i say theres some issues i might bring up after the games,but like i say,it would be churlish not to try and enjoy them It's London-centric definitely...Atlanta 96 spread the events over an 80 mile diameter, there's no reason why they could have held some events in Birmingham or Manchester with our transport network, they need the investment and tourism money desperately, instead of a few photo opportunities and training bases. Still...I'll enjoy it all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
