[GTB]

the big guns are USA,CHINA & RUSSIA

[rsot]

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

[GreenBean]

Guess after 1976 the Games would have sad memories

[GTB]

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

[FandangoKango]

Not a fan myself.

[GTB]

what sports do you like then fandango is any?

[JJGold]

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

[GTB]

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

[rsot]

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.

[GTB]

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

[rsot]

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

[GTB]

very true

it just wouldn't work

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

[unkown5454]

Streets of London = 24/7 F1.

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.

[GTB]

doing what,building,security?

[SUVE]

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.

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 !

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