TT600 (00-01)

With all of the bollocks in the local and national press about the path that the Olympic torch will be taking, it occurred to me that not one of my friends or family, or anyone at work, has expressed any interest whatsoever in the games.

Does anyone, anywhere actually give a s!$%?
Has anyone on here bought tickets or had anything to do with the whole debacle?

No interest at all in having them in his country, I think it's a stack of money that could have been far better spent.

I really couldn`t care less about the Olympics myself, except for the fact it`s a massive waste of billions of pounds of Taxpayers money that we dont actually have...:frown:

I'll probably watch the athletics and some of the other events. I would have liked to have got a ticket to see some of it.
I've got a friend that does voluntary work for a couple of local sports clubs and he has been lucky enough to be chosen as one of the torch carriers.

I couldn't give two f!$%s about the Olympics. It's the London Olympics. It's got f!$% all to offer the rest of us (even though the whole country is paying for it).

I see those f!$%ing cups and other trinkets in the supermarket and just think: "f!$% you". London, f!$%in' London.... I'm sick of hearing about it.

So, no, I'm not interested :frown:

The media is trying its hardest to make up stories and get the public involved but they're flogging a dead horse outside of London.
The rest of the country couldn't give a toss and think the whole thing is a cronic waste of money.

In Portland the cheeky sods are trying to close a public park because it overlooks the sailing races and charge the locals to get it for the olympics.Most have told them to sod off and are just going to jump over the fence if they want to use the park.

£12-15 billion always becomes £20 - 25+billion in the end, if government and civil servants have anything to do with it.:frown: Will we ever see any of that hard earned back again?30 Will we like f!$%!:frown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

The whole pointless exercise in playing the 'world unity' game makes me sick at the hypocrisy and gigantic waste of it all.:thumbdown::thumbdown:

I've a more honest idea; f!$% the games, lets just have a war instead as we seem rather good at it and as no-one really wins nobody would feel left out and have to blub publicly about it.:smirk::thumbup:

We have booked our holidays (on purpose) for when the Olympics are on. We are going abroad. We will NOT try and watch any Olympics that may appear on furrin television. We will not have a sattelite link into the camper.

We will however consume huge amounts of wine and local food.

f!$% the Olympics.
