Quote: Chappers @ July 26 2012, 9:30 PM BSTAnd one thing that really pisses me off!
This title of "Team GB."
It's just f**king "Great Britain"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto. Every time I hear it I want to kill the speaker.
It's actually the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but I expect Team all that won't fit on the vests.

At 50p a letter Coe would get the f**kin' lot on somehow if he could !

TTPYO
The use of the word surreal as just meaning - um - well not surreal.
I don't think it is supposed to lose other channels, http://www.tvretune.co.uk/ http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/help_receiving/olympics_retune
but I know that here where the signals are rather weak, a retune can sometimes lose the channels on the weakest signal. Usually retuning again at a different time of day brings them back
For some reason AJGO has been craving cereal for the last few days and has been getting pissed off every time she sees Special K (that's a cereal, for the druggies reading). Why has it decided that it's the product for weight loss? It's not less calorific than other similar types. It doesn't contain a portion of fruit. It doesn't have a particularly high fibre content. You can't just allocate the role of 'weight loss cereal' to yourself and then tell everyone it is so, except it seems you can, and people will accept this. Why? Why??
Sounds more like
Special Mmmm K

I think we should all agree that chips are weight-loss food. And accept the fact that deep-frying seals in the goodness in a way that steaming or grilling doesn't.

No, I won't. Michael Winner can't make me. Chips are alright if you keep the skin on the potatoes cos that's where all the vitamins are. Use Sunflower Oil for frying and that's just eating seeds really.

TTPYO: British people trying to do fake American style enthusiasm.
Went to see the Torch yesterday and there were three corporate sponsor buses full of 'young people' preceeding it on the route. They were trying to hype up the crowd but their hearts were so obviously not in it that it was an embarrassing mess.
Just about anything we do to emulate the Yanks - such as high fives and cheerleaders - is so fraudlently cringeworthy, that it destroys any genuine enthusiasm.
As I said before I love US straight forward patriotism.
USA! USA!
Fly pasts of stealth bombers and the worlds most bellicose national anthem.
And nobody tries to boo people in uniform (except the westborough baptist church)
