I'm at comment 291
Edit: oh yes, on the Read News thread.
Feel free to close this, or does it deserve its own little corner of notoriety ?
Nobody mentioned the Olympic mascots yet?
In another thread.
I'm sure it can have it's own thread.
The olympics is going to be a disaster isn't it?

I hope to f**k that's a fake picture! ????? 
Fraid not.
They are doing the Usain Bolt sign.
They are quite embarrassing.
But really, I've never even noticed that there have been mascots before at the other Olympics, so I doubt anyone will really notice them.
Of course, there's still the opening ceremony to humiliate us beyond belief.

In retrospect it's a bit shit.
And he looks more like "water sports" Billy.
But I bet cock and bell end don't get there own cartoon. Why is it that every other country get's their own kid friendly little mascot.
Hundra the Tiger, Sam the LA Eagle. And we get to multi coloured cocks with obscure names.
Is everything we do have to be shit these days? It's like those stupid bloody new routemasters. 2 staircases, migrane inducing windows and you can't jump off like a ninja anymore and 300 big ones.
Bloody country going to the dogs, bunch of arse all of it.
Grumble grumble.
You people! Negative Nellies! Never happy unless you're running something down!

Snark snark fnnar fnnar.

No, really, I haven't. I've never needed to use a bus in an area in which they operate.
Sounded like you'd turn down Boy George for a shag.
