I gather the olympic flame blew out yesterday...does that mean we get back all money?

I'm planning on being as far away as possible from anything to do with the Olympics and I'm sure others feel the same. I remember a few years back someone organising Christmas holidays in a tent on Snowdon on a commercial basis, so maybe we could organise an avoid the Olympics rally.
 
Nice idea!.....perhaps we could have some alternative games too....like Heading the Shot, Catching the Javelin and the 400 metre stagger (from the pub)
 
damn shame the space shuttle still wasent running could have spent the olympics on the moon,
no tv up there frozen water and a few flags but no atmosphere either perfect for wilding.

We've got the torch going through the County of Conwy on the 29th. I'm just wondering what the cost is going to be to the local tax payers??

It's a giant effort to try and "MAKE" us all feel excited "RAH, RAH, RAH". It's in bloody London, why does the whole nation have to be jollied and driven to a frenzy? It'll be bad enough with it on TV all the time.

Now that the nations gone digital TV, why not put all sport features on one of the alternative channels and keep the scheduling as per normal. This would stop say ITV on a Wednesday being a Football channel.

Don't forget the Queens Jubilee, loads of money spent by the council to try and whip us up into a frenzy again.

I really don't give a damm.

Bah Humbug to Christmas whilst I'm at it

i willing take one of the torches from the relay use it to buy to myself a van the pay members to convert it for me so spreading the wealth around
 
If the government wants to make me feel good...

They could cancel the lot. Not only is it expensive but hypocritical, because there would be no British pistol shooting team if they hadn't bent the rules to suit themselves.

A few years ago ownership of handguns was banned on the UK mainland, although curiously not on some of the islands and in Northern Ireland, which has had more problems from illegal gun ownership than anywhere in the UK. When the Olympic organisers realised that they couldn't actually fiels a pistol shooting team they bent the rules, but only for the Olympics, building a special range and inviting who they wanted, I suspect the richer shooters who still managed to shoot by going abroad regularly to keep in practice.

They then asked for volunteers from the shooting organisations to act as marshalls, at which point it was suggested that they might like to reciprocate by changing the law to allow ownership of .22 handguns for range work. This hasn't happened and immediately after the Olympics the range will cease to exist.
