OH LAWD it seems like a lot of the people in this thread could do it a lot better, perhaps they should have got the job? oh wait...you wouldnt have done it any better :rolleyes:
 
We should invite this lot to kick off our 2012 opening ceremony:


That should set the scene nicely.

P.S. Ping pong is coming home! :D
 
Boris was hilarious, as usual.

The handover ceremony itself was... well, I think "abysmal" is the kindest word for it. Excruciatingly naff, not a hint of imagination, a bunch of utterly pointless "dancers" who added nothing to the event, some singing chick (supposedly a "megastar"?!) that I've never even heard of and couldn't hear anyway because the guitar was completely drowning her out (nice guitar btw, best part of the whole thing) and Beckham thrown in at the last minute just to kick a football for no apparent reason. Hideously embarrassing to watch. Is this the best GB can come up with after more than a thousand years of history?

To their credit, the commentators were embarrassed; you could tell by their flat, wooden delivery and their failure to get even remotely excited by any aspect of the presentation.

I just hope nobody paid for it.

And we wonder why we are known to be winging folk, at least our games wont be fixed, faked singing fireworks etc and we wont hire thousands of people to fill the stadiums. You are forgetting the Chinese main aim at these games and that was to show the world who they are well sorry but it shows how fake they are.

But as always we have to moan whinge and groan at anything remotely British, well of course its going to be a failure if we keep this attitude up, and we wonder why our county is going down the pan.

Spot on. With the attitude of some in this country we may as well just hand the flag back to the IOC and fire a nuke at ourselves. I'm sure they'd even complain about that being wrong. :/

I thought there wasn't enough guitar. You could hardly hear it, too much bass throughout the performance.

Expect the worst then you wont be disappointed.

But look at the logo they wasted 200k on, imagine what bizzare cartoon sex act will feature as our opening celebration.

You're welcome to interpret the logo in any way you choose. Such is your right. How many sexual acts can you find in other Olympic logos if you try? What makes ours so special in that respect? :p

Seriously go find me an olymic logo that looks anywhere near as bad.

tbh could go into any large school/college, offer them a £50 prise and get a better logo

dont meet many clients or businesses? first impressions? wear a smart suit (buttoned), tie, and look smart for 5 mins, he looked like all he was missing was a can of super strength and brown bag then he would look like a typical londoner ;)

Indeed. However it is really stupid though, how can you possibly judge someone based on their appearance. I judge based on merit. I wear my normal causal clothes to work unless I am meeting a client. Still exactly the same person with or without a suit. The scruffiest people I work with are actually the smartest out of the whole place.. stupid Victorian era hangover.

I guess you'd have thrown Einstein out the door if he ever came to a meeting with you then?

Besides I don;t are how he looks it's how he does his job thats important. Lots of failures wear a sharp suits ;)
