Olympics

I must have missed that, however I’ve been reminded that after 4 years, dressage is still crap! :laughing:
Does a horse really want to ponce around an arena like that? :open_mouth:

The horse obviously loves it ! Probably almost as much as those fun lovin` foxes love running around in front of hounds.

At what point did a hammer become a metal ball on a steel wire?
I’ve never understood that one…

And no, I don’t want to see the winning throw, I want to see all the ones that went ■■■■! :smiley:

its more amusing watching the irish turning up with a rool of barbed wire and some wooden posts for the fencing…then theres always the.catching the javelin attempt?

LOL, I like that! :smiley:

I see Jessica Ennis didn’t win. Oh well at least she didn’t raise her arms in victory. Thankfully. You could strike a match on them pits, a sponsorship from Veet perhaps?

They got thrown out of the Discus competition. They just would not shut up… :sunglasses:

I watch some of the olympic coverage but im a sadistic prick and im usually rooting for stuff like this to happen

Oh well, stick my head above the parapet. I love the Olympics, so many unsung sports to watch, but then I love sport (except Tennis, that just bores the arse off me)! And it’s not the major sports with the superstars, it’s the lesser known ones. The women’s Hammer was fascinating, cycling superb, badminton and volleyball all day long. The rowing, canoe slalom and sailing keeps me riveted, whilst the rugby sevens was such a fresh addition. And all this was on at the same time as the Test Matches. Brilliant! :smiley: Looking forward to the Winter Olympics in South Korea in 18 months time.

But in-between there will be now be wall-to-wall coverage of pathetic overpaid ponces arguing with the Ref, rolling around on the floor as though they’ve been shot, and complaining about being tired because they have to play two games in a week. Whilst every angle possible from umpteen cameras will be analysed to the n’th degree by the same old faces - and folk quite happily pay for this! :open_mouth:

Talking of football pundits, ever noticed that many pundits are out of work football managers? If they were so good at tactics, they’d be managing the teams on tv not waffling about them.

I’d put a link up for that French bloke in the vault as well, but the way his leg was hanging off made me feel a bit queasy! :open_mouth:
Oh bugger it! :smiley:

Thats what I look for! My all time favourite though was the guy who stumbled in the steeplechase and smashed his face off the barrier

I hear he’s already looking into becoming an agency driver! :open_mouth:
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Well didn’t Tom Daley do well? :laughing: Muckaway will be pleased! :grimacing:

Then there is the Modern Pentathlon - WTF is modern about horse jumping? :open_mouth: They should give them dirt bikes and scream the nuts out of them in a mass start race through a Tesco’s store with a shopping basket strapped to the front and a list of items to collect! :sunglasses:

As you were!

Sky diving without a parachute would be good but no previous parachuting experience allowed and medals awarded depending on how close to the edge of the net they can get without missing it. :smiling_imp: :laughing:

:laughing: :laughing: I saw that on the news mate. Funniest thing on tv tonight. Just a camp Eddie the Eagle in budgie smugglers. He should’ve just done a bomb off the diving board, mooning at the judges on the way down, giving a one finger salute.
Oh well, Tom Daley calenders will be 2 for 1 in former BHS stores this winter. :laughing: :laughing:

How many are you going to buy then? :open_mouth:
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

You have to feel sorry for him really, as he’s now been upstaged by Jack Laugher, and going to have to do umpteen interviews over the coming days, weeks, months and years admitting that, and reliving how he blew Olympic qualification again, and again, and again, all the way up to qualification in 2020.

You’re laughing aren’t you? :open_mouth:

Yeah I heard about that, the bloke’s a bloody nut job…
Not exactly an entertaining spectator sport though!

Go on EB, set up a pop up shop in an empty unit on Above Bar Street selling calendars… :laughing:
