I'd go get that checked out, looks more like honey.

Looks like the final ingredient to Theo's conCOKtion of lemonade and cake in ass

In UK cake goes in mouth. In Russia...

I'm sure there were just as many **** ups at London 2012 and all the other Olympic venues, the main difference is Western media weren't all out in force to blow them out of proportion.

As shambolic as the 2012 Olympics were, even we didn't have hotels missing floors, toxic tap water and missing shower curtains.

You really think that the media wouldn't have picked up on it if the same had happened here? Of course they would. Most of this stuff has come via Twitter anyway, not just a news network with a particular agenda.

A lot of it has been brought about the "Russia anti-gay" coverage we'd been spoon fed for the past 6mths, it's just become trendy to make them look bad.

I bet you when the Qatar World Cup swings around there will be no such mention of their stance on homosexuality, even though it's much worse than Russia's.

It'll have something to do with... oil... but I can't quite put my finger on it.

 

[Efour]

half of this is made up and the other half is such trivial crap i cant even be bothered to post something ironic... oh too late.

 

[marc2003]

it's only journalists so who cares?

i've been watching a lot of it on the tv and all the athetes have said the facilities have been superb.

Thats because they don't like gays in football either, so they don't care.

I'm pretty sure Sepp Blatter is a massive &*^& sucker....

See they are gay friendly.

What want to know is what happened to the matey who designed the Olympic "Rings" at the opening Ceremony did he get thrown in the Gulag, Executed or Executed and then have his remains thrown in several Gulags?

It won't have been the guy's fault who designed the light show. A set of 5 DMX moving heads with gobos will have been used to display the Olympic rings. The failure was either a gobo fault in the 5th moving head, or there were signalling issues between the 4th and 5th light (if wired) or between the lighting desk and 5th light (if wireless DMX). So they'll have to 'execute' the light manufacturer

That is superb

 

[Edrof]

That is superb

Clearly for the Australian athletes. I don't see the problem.
