Symptoms Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Who's with me in demanding that Paula Ratcliffe hands the money back? I just knew that skinny waste of time and money would pull-up lame before/during the marathon and complain it was an old injury (watch-out for her Xmas book How London Went Wrong for Me But All That Lottery Funding Helped). Another one is that invisible hop, skip and jump guy. Elite athletes my a.r.s.e. Tons of lottery funding trousered; what a scam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith lockey Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I admit I haven't seen the badmington farce but how on earth can you tell if someone is cheating at it? It's arguably one of the most boring games I've ever watched or tried to play. Watching paint dry is more exciting. In fact they should replace it with Olympic tiddly-wnks or pottsies.

threegee Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 ...how on earth can you tell if someone is cheating at it?...This is relatively easy (at least in the one without the 'g' I used to play ): you count the number of times the shuttlemebob goes back without landing on the ground. Sometimes even I could manage more than four times against a modestly good player. World class players should be able to manage a tiny bit more than four max!

I never saw the games / matches whatever but my bro says it was blatantly obvious. But I would still rather watch paint dry or play muggies.

Malcolm Robinson Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Anyone want to see what was going on with the opening ceremony take a look at Riefenstahl's Olympia films from 1936.With little to do with the Olympic Ideal it seemed a lot more to do with propaganda!

Symptoms Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ah ... my specialist subject. Just popped in here for a few moments so not enough time at present to work on something meaningful; I'll spend the rest of the day (maybe the whole weekend) working myself up about that whole gang of spongers and will report back ... I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
