I am really looking forward to the opening ceremony! Am imagining it like one of those plays you have been to watch at school by the mad drama teacher who has not put on a 'proper' play but some madcap 'adlib' mishmash of absolutely everything that is truly bonkers.

Re: The Olympics - London 2012
Lovely sunny day here in Trafford and I am just mustering the troops to set off for Old Trafford for an evening of Olympic football including Team GB v Senegal. Just dusting off my Union flag. Watch out for me on the telly. I'll be the one with a paper hat made out of VR Test 11A.

It's only that living here is starting to feel more and more like it must have felt in the Soviet Union when they showed the increasing tractor production and bumper potato harvest on TV every night, amid declarations of how happy everyone was...One of my kids was reading out of the newspaper last night about how well the Olympic traffic lanes were working, not slowing traffic down at all, in fact if anything, speeding up all the happy commuters. My BF was texting me almost at the same time telling me she had been stuck in stationery traffic for almost 2 hours, looking longingly at an empty Olympic lane, and was in danger of missing her flight from Heathrow.sherry_d wrote:I just love how people are so miserable and moan about everything and anything.

I think Brits like to see irony in situations, that's all: it's not that we don't love it ( ), just that being told how much we are loving it makes some of us want to rebel.

Agreed Amber.. thing that really annoyed me this morning was some comment that:
OK so what about the rest of the country? - can imagine we could have terrorism, crime wave, riots & other disasters but all would be OK because the olympics were going well.safe and secure olympic games matters more than anything else.

Re: The Olympics - London 2012
And children flying off around the world without passports and tickets? Is that because all the security is down in London just now ?

Re: The Olympics - London 2012
That story doesn't really ring true - kid has never been abroad and doesn't have a passport - presumably doesn't know his way around airports ... quite tricky to keep heading in the right direction at airports to actually get on the plane you want - cherchez les journalistesLooking for help wrote:And children flying off around the world without passports and tickets?

He said he had just been looking for a lavatory and kept searching until he ended up on the plane.

Ive been thinking the same thing - there's no way my 11 year old could have done this, and he's been on plenty of planes. (Sorry, off topic )Looking for help wrote:Crazy
