London olympics around the corner :D
 

is it just me or is anyone else excited about the London Olympics

i love most of the events in the Olympics

personally i cannot wait:dance:

anyone else here gonna be shouting & screaming at the telly when its on?

i know there must be some USA members that are:noidea:

Usain Bolt is the man to watch,that guy is fast:bolt:

what is your fav event?

love the pole vault, decathlon, javelin :-) also the short to middle distances too

cant wait for the USA basketball team..

also looking forward to
-micheal phelps
-usain bolt

yes yes me aswell

i like the cycling & swimming too

yeahman phelps is big time

not a big basketball fan but USA got that one locked

the big guns are USA,CHINA & RUSSIA

UK will rise to the occasion am sure

Enjoy watching the Olympics - quite a few of the sports.

As for this quote from GTB:

anyone else here gonna be shouting & screaming at the telly when its on?

Don`t think I`ll be doing that so much ha

Guess after 1976 the Games would have sad memories:redface:

so rsot aint a big fan then

LOL

i think most ppl who watch a sport they enjoy and are patriotic shout and scream at the telly rsot

well us proud Brits do anyway:dance:

Not a fan myself.

what sports do you like then fandango is any?

I'm a huge Olympics fan. I only wish I was back living in London.

bah i aint going to London mate

i am watching it on telly:)

it will be a good atmosphere down there but hey

you cant have everything

Actually I love the track events - sprint, intermediate distance - and field events of pole vault, discus, and hammer toss. Soccer is somewhat fun. The sprint swims are also solid.

I watch but not super passionate. It will be a good atmosphere. Ha GB - you and 1976 reference...

As for Canada, we do better at the Winter Olympics so...yeah I prob get more passionate then even though I love the summer times.

track events are the daddy

swim sprints too

after the last Olympics i started to follow track cycling

Formula 1 should be an Olympic sport too

I would tend to disagree with F1 being an Olympic sport due to its high scale and the nature/style of the Olympics.

very true

it just wouldn't work

you could have some kind of motor racing as an event and have time trials etc

Streets of London = 24/7 F1.

Fishing :p

GTB, I have been asked by a very large firm to run a 15 man team at the Stratford site & anywhere else where need be. ;)

doing what,building,security?

Security.....XYZ called me up; it is nice to have been called out of the blue & directly be asked without having applied for the role/position. It would appear that they had kept my details on file from another business unit involving the Westfield Shopping complex in London. :humble:

This is the second time they have called me & asked me directly without me specifically applying for the role in question - the other time being some concert venues in neighboring counties. It is a nice ego boost I admit !:p

I have not said yes, they have given me until May to apply - I have other things in the pipeline.;)

ego boost lol

aye lad you must of done something right

nice one man so are you going to take the job then

whats these other things,ebay?

or something else

Well, I have ANOTHER firm also asking me....I guess I may well reply to them as well out of professional courtesy.;)

Yes, I guess I must have! I have the experience, at some of the biggest venues out here & I have a few other security graded qualifications to hand. Plus a clean 5 year track record with numerous professional references backdating 5 years + as well.:redface:

Yes - EB/PP you have got that one straight up right!:clap:

always reply out of decency even if your not taking the job

good luck with the ebay/paypal

SUaVe - seems liek you might have some nice hookups for the Olympics then.

I wish i had time to go there and watch two ping pong games.And i had watched a few games in beijing in 2008,which gave me a very good memory.

i canot believe four years have gone so quickly,it seems beijing 2008 just happend in last year.

hehe i thought you mite say ping pong aka table tennis:)

chinese rule in that event:thumb:

Beijing was ace man

Did you go to the Beijing games at all Teedon?

RSOT, I would appear to have had potential hooks ups anyhow by default as I used to work across numerous large scale venues across most days of the week.;)

I went to the UK about 8 Years ago and it was awesome. Loved the Beer and the Women :sly:. Go Mexico in the Olympics.

Hi,rsot I did go there and i can not missed the big event on my country ,because maybe this is the only 1 time in my life, but i only watched 2 matches and it is very diffcult to buy the tickets.
