We do all know the use of it in the Olympics thing was referencing a famous piece of art (which happened to be of Hindley), not Hindley herself... right?
I wish they'd save a few billion dollars and hold the games in Athens every 4 years. I'm surprised that cities *want* to go to the trouble of hosting the games; it all seems like a huge inconvenience.

Sssshhh!
I heard that to market England's bid for the 2016 World Cup they're putting a picture of Kate and Gerry McCann on a poster above the slogan "We'll look after you like you were all our children".

Just saw this on the BBC site - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7580165.stm - and it's hilarious. The reactions of Coe and co behind him are terrific.

I still think it looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow-job. Boris' speach was great, he's a good after-dinner speaker. Loved the 'Wiff Waff' bit, only he could pull it off.
What the hell was the Mira Hindley picture doing in the promotional montage? Are they crazy?
Nice to see Colin Moighnahan yesterday. He was a much mocked minister in his day, yet he's one of the few Sports Ministers we've ever had with an actual passion for sports. Well done, Tory midget.
Also, I wonder if in four years time Team BSG will still be largerly the same?

It's an ugly incomprehensible mess.

I know, I can't get rid of it!
I want to play around on your computer and kick it into shape.
I have just watched the clip, and it was fan-bloody-tastic. 
Wiff waff!

That sounds like something a lady from a 0898 number would say to a kinky IT geek.
Who gets to pick the demonstration sports? I think it should be the host country, we need to get stuff that we can win so as ensure we are up there with the success of Bejiing.
Where are the next winter olympics being held?
