I hate the olympics and everything it stands for greed. On the BBC its on every channel you can't escape it.

What a thouroughly downright obnoxius vile nasty little w***** he REALLY is!

Patrioism my exceedingly fat and wobbly arse.
IT'S SPORT you heaving great quivering lump of waste lard.

Go and crawl under a random stage somewherem and ramble your shyte noise and groans to yerself, F***** W*****!

Bloody computer crashed/froze just as I was trying to type the words MORRISEY NOT SP (only he's a bit of an owld toss pot too tbh...sometimes. )

See. Even this wretched machine hates THAT cretin ...MORRISEY..

Miserable tw@....Morrisey

Just reaffirmming his wankerness

To be clear Growler I was not agreeing with Morrisey who is an idiot beyond words. He is the biggest hyprcrite and tosser on the planet claims he is for fairness yet he and Johnny Marr made sure they got all the earnings from the Smiths and the rest of the band was on minimum wage. That said the Smiths were great. I am bored witless with the Oympics what a waste of money and retail trade is down massively the very opposite to what we were told when we spent all those billions of taxpayers money.

He is actually right, but its a shame that it seems that he felt the need to say it now, because of his own rejection of not being able to perform on stage. If it meant that much to him, this would have been said many many many moons ago, however, it does not change the fact that he is right, regardless of the timing of when to say it.

According to stats in 2011, there is 62,641,000 people in Britain, of which at the moment, at the very least 61,000,000 are still fast asleep, bent over, encouraging the system to keep raping them in the ass.

Far to many sheep, and sheep follow sheep. For a small instance, the price of the ceremony was a problem months ago, claimed to cost £27mill, but when the day came, and the wow factor "captured a nation", the millions spent was well justified, all of a sudden?

What a load of brainwashed test rats we have in this country.

This whole thing takes the eyes away from the real problems in the world, and that's exactly what the system wants, you, yes you, focused on irrelevance.

by golly what a intersting post!
f the daily mail!
f the retailers at thr olympics parasites 10quid for a bottl of water - *unts

Get stuffed you.
I'm enjoying, and enjoying it far piggin' more than that heavin' werld cup and euro shyte too.
Competitiors that in the main are decent hard working folk, unlike our footie bretherens.

You might well be, but it doesn't make it right because you do, does it?

Your enjoying it, therefore, you wont look through it.

While I'd agree with the bit about football, most sports athletes at the pinnacle are the same. So that doesn't rule out competitors at this Olympics either.

It's all over. Worldwide.

So you get stuffed, and maybe open your eyes while you do it.

What a right ole bunch of misery holes you's lot are ey?

From what I've been hearing on me travels this last 9 days, the majority are pretty damned chuffed and proud of team GB's stunning efforts, far far more than of any bloody piggin' useless Inguulund football teams efforts of recent years.

The Olympics are here regardless, and they will be every four years for eternity.
All the stamping and screaming, lobbing of teddies and dummies will never stop it taking place, by you or anyone, regardless as to how much of a waste of money you reckon it all is, so move and jog on, stop yer whinging and whining and simply accept it, 'cus you AIN'T got no choice.

Of course, one cannot stop the ship by themself Growler!

Thats why, in my life we must HELP and come together. Through a hard days night, because all we need is love, to be with lucy in the sky with her diamonds. So please let it be, because yesterday I twisted and shouted with Mrs Robinson, and we shaked it up baby. Cus I said Hey Jude! As I saw her standing there, so please please please dont let me down Growler.

Peace.

Amen.

Next?

Look 'ere you lot. I luv me footie and our club, but who and which footballer has caught the imagination of the nation as a whole and the total respect and admiration that the likes of Chris Hoy amongst many others have?

Unbelievable scenes of pure genuine guts sweat and tears this last 10 days.
These atheletes aren't paid obscene amounts of wages every week. They carry on with their lives month in month out in the background, working towards their goal at crazy o clock in the morning, striving for their ultimate in achievments.

I don't disagree with that growler but its on TV 24 x 7 on the BBC which is being used as a justification for the overmanning in the BBC and the cost of the Olympics is out of all proportion to what it is at a time of public sector cutbacks. No problem at all with the athletes but the event is total madness cost wise for what it is. Its also more or less shut London down hurting retail trade again at a time when these businesses can ill afford it.

Honestly I have never heard so much negativity, in fact I have never heard any negativity towards the Olympics until now. I always thot these events actually make money instead of losing money like the world cups etc that's why countries fight tooth and nail to be hosts.

Don't know where you heard they make money it bankrupted Greece and took canada 30 years to pay off. The London Olympics was budgeted at £2.4m its cost according to latest estimate £12b. That does not include transport infrastructure or the loss of retail trade (London is 20% down on retail takings hotels etc) The cost is absolutely immense for three weeks of what? 24x7 on the BBC and justifying the overpaid and overmanned BBC staff. The whole thing is a disgrace we should never have applied for it we should have let the French have it let them bankrupt themselves we should have spend that £11b plus on public services and encouraged business and jobs which is what people need not three weeks of poncing about.

And anybody who says otherwise, needs to get real.

The elite wanted the Olympics....and the elite got it, the few rule the many. But 99% in this country won't even look at it like that, they'll be blinded by the light so to speak, cheering on GB all for a round thing hung around their neck.

As long as you are occupied, they have your attention, and they have you. Thats why most things in the world today are made for that very purpose, distraction, separation, and to create barriers, it's all there to hold the human race down on its knees, it's all here because the few at the top want it here. It's all because of control.

Humans will need to wake up and realize, what the agenda is, why we are bombarded with all this technology etc etc. Put away all the distractions and work together for what is important on this planet.

The Olympics takes the eye of the problems, and when its all over said and done, the problems are still here after it all.

Craney 100% agree with you. The corrupt politcians have out us further in debt so we can take our eyes off what a mess they have made for us for three weeks. THen we can look forward to another 10 weeks of the taxpayer funded BBC telling us how wonderful it all is. Meanwhile there are no jobs and public service is being erroded. The bankers and politicians carry on as normal.

Yep its a very sad state of affairs, gets me upset sometimes, when I sit and contemplate just what a state this world is in, right through the very small issues, to the largest. It is absolutely mega.

It will take a miracle of absolute mega proportions to put it right, I wish I could click my fingers and that every human being, man, woman, any race or nationality, sees eye to eye and on the same wavelength, in terms of seeing what this system is doing to us, the system controlled by the very very few.

I sometimes wonder if that day will ever come, in any of our lifetimes, or our childrens and their childrens or theirs. But I just dont see it as long as the few at the top have the reigns over it.

The only way I think we are forced to come together, would be for the biggest disaster this world has ever faced, to be right in our faces, and for it to take place.

Because when the [oops] hits the fan, EVERYBODY, will need somebody. Whether they refuse to admit it or not now, it'll be a different story when they face it. They're lives will be on the line.

...and some of you's lot accuse ME of being one complete and miserable owld moaning complaining git!
LMCO!

Can't you's just be happy for what's happened, regardless of the politics and cost.
All the grumbling in the werld ain't going to change waht's happened.

For the first time in many years, I've actually felt slightly proud to be English.
Compare that to the pride we all feel when the world cup's on, sometimes watching the louts...sorry fans...parading around p1ssed out thier heads, lobbing bar chairs and tables around....all in the name of support nationalism.
Bloody bravo ey?

You'd have to be mentally ill to smile at the way this planet is Growler.

Nothing wrong with you enjoying it, thats your choice, but whether or not you are aware of all the dark forces behind it is another thing entirely.

If you was up to date on that, I don't think you could enjoy it like you are, and maybe thats why people are refusing to enjoy it like the rest? Perhaps they dont want to be quite and kept shtum any more? Perhaps they dont want to be taken in by it all? Perhaps they want to keep the real issues alive, rather than being blinded by the show/entertainment and forget all about it?

I wouldn't say its being miserable, I'd say its being real and keeping it real, being true to yourself, not doing one thing and saying another.

I don't support it or condone it, therefore I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon, so I'd rather be "miserable", I guess.

Yeah we are stuck with it so had better enjoy it don't disagree with that but I personally find it boring but I accept a lot like it so great. However we are still entitled to ask what political idiot thought it a good idea to bid for it. But we know that don't we permatanned Tony Blair. Another one who should be locked up.

Explain to me why countries fight for their lives to be hosts if this thing makes no money at all? I don't get it.

its called having more money then sense

it cost the taxpayer money - to pay for these olympics and governements have never been afraid to pi5s taxpayers money away on wars for trumped up reasons and then chastise the same people who paid for their wars for becoming unemployed or ill

The same principle applies for why govts go to war costing TRILLIONS when they cant afford basic health care for all: The govt is for the minority. Lucrative contracts is the name of the game beit arms deals or stadium construction deals..

Thats why they r will ing to bankrupt us to host an olympic games

They don't anymore. It was a New Labour ego trip under Tony Blair. Its probably cost Britain in the region of £20 billion. To put in perspective thats half the national defence budget to prance about for three weeks. Its simply insane.

i have to say lads, the english commentary etc is a little over the top.

4 days to go and then 2 weeks later the £12 Billion credit card bill arrives on the doormat.

That would be a waste even if the country is awash with money but that is far from the case. What a disgrace

Well I've been enjoying it!

Nice one deako.

A geezer what talks sense and a bit of cheer....at last!

Never seen or had to endure so many absolute misery laden toads in such a small place in all me life.

From what I can gather it's brought cheer happiness excitement and unity amomgst MANY folk and community's, things that this gruesome grim reaper shower would obviously not understand.

They must breed like rabbits, seem to be everywhere atm!

Missed the mens BMX'ing this avvy, but believe it was ded exciting.
Catch it later.

Can't even you S.Irish posters feel a glimmer of happiness and pride for your wimmins boxing achievment today?

How about South Africans for their 3 gold medals in swimming

Summed up quite beautifuly on the telly before...dunno who said it now, but, roughly....kids now have some decent sporting role models to look up to, rather than some random big bruvver contestant.
Spot piggin' on!

I am in awe of the GB cycling team, they are an inspiration to many. I hope many kids go into a sports club after seeing the Olympics, instead of wasting time at home on their games console or on Facebook or whatever.

Bob on Aldo, but of course, some of the miseries in here reckon it's ALL for political gain and a complete and utter waste of money.

My take on it is that if it keeps one current wannabe thug and gangster off the street and into the gym, and just one currently fat kid away from the burger stuffing habit he or she is currently locked in, then it'll have been money well spent, end of, no argument amen and good night.

People want to think its for political gain, because then they would have something to complain about. The Olympics has actually got people together more than anything I seen.

I'd like to look up jess ennis

wait your turn

I'm first! I live closer!

I live in London, just a train ride away.

She is from sheffield! Bet I can get there first!

damn you

I'll try not to wear her out

Shes a athlete, more concerned for you

I'll die happy!

lol

Death by ennis! Bedroom olympics!

you want the gold, silver or bronze edition

What's actually Mrs Deako's take on this then ey 'wannabe but in yer dreams superstud'?

Dare I say pink or brown?

If it means she can watch eastenders in peace she's happy

I can relate to and actually believe that, only it's that piggin' corrie I have to endure here.

None of that manchester muck in this house!

Rudisha and Bolt are amazing athletes, these two are smashing records everywhere.

Well if its all so wonderful how come you guys don't watch it all year round? Atletics is dying as a spectator sport why the sudden interest because its the oylmpics? And if you did watch it and more like you maybe the taxpayer would not have to subsidise it so much.

I watch the world championships as well, however many people tune up to the olympics because its a world wide event, just like the world cup.

Stans right, after the olympics no one really gives a charlie adam.

-1

Correct. It is wonderful and I've thouroughly enjoyed it even though I was sceptical about just how good it was going to be a couple of weeks ago.

There. More miserable then ever now?
Live with it, 'cus quite frankly, I'm sick to the very back teeth of having to read all this whinging whining crap.

Could the people who disagree with it, find you a whinging whiner for keep showing your support for it?

Works both ways and considering you were skeptical before and now thoroughly enjoying it, says that you are no different from the most of the country.

As I said before, lots of people were against it months before it took of, "Oh look at the money they've spent" "Taxpayers" "£27mill opening ceremony" "Why can't they use the money elsewhere" "Why in the capital" etc etc etc

Yet when it all kicked of, because you were "enjoying" what they were giving to you, everybody's shut up about what they was saying before the Olympics.

Major catastrophic brainwash is you ask me.

So if I'm enjoying the olympics that means i'm brainwashed?

fraid so

No, but if you were set against it for all number of reasons before? And now its the best thing going......and none of what was said before matters now.

Then I'd have to say they have brainwashed you, its like taking a stand against something you firmly believe in, then some hot f*cking totty comes along, you have a shag, and because you enjoyed it, all the other stuff gets forgotten about.

I've never been against in though, used to love athletics. Competing and watching. My older brother used to compete in the paralympics/athletic so its of interest to me and members of my family.

Btw its a bit hard to take you seriously craney as you call yourself a legend and think you are ric flair! We all know Stan is down on anything and everything though!

It's all fun and games deakin, all fun and games!

Good game good game!

Looking at this thread and all the whinging, you would think Craney's and Stanley's savings funded the olympics.

Look on the bright side, since his savings went on it, hes a better supporter of the Olympics than us

I cannot argue with that

Foreigners ay?

Do you pay for the Olympics in your far away country's then?

Cus in ENGLAND, it gets plastered all over terrestrial TV.

It is indeed. Have you dyed your hair white yet?

No. He blew them all on filling his cellar up with the finest champers in readiness for the sacking and departure of KD.
I reckon he's still pi55ed from his table dancing and non stop partying that he was bragging about at the time.

Actually people its not my savings thast have paid for it. Heres the bad news its not been paid for its on the government borrowing to be paid for by future generations. In other words you lot. So I am glad you all enjoyed it the bill will hit your doormat next month.

That is the funniest thing about it all. Complain about the people "complaining" all you want, the fact of the matter is, they are only saying the truth.

But because the vast majority are "enjoying it", the vast majority seem to be condemning those that don't believe in it and labeling them as "miserable"

At the end of the day, the money that has been spent in the capital for this, is out of this world, what ever the government say it is, you can at least double that, and you may be a bit nearer to what it actually cost. We are not talking the odd millions, we are talking billions.

What must be taken into account also is the fact that tax payers money has paid for some of this, but they seem to be hiding that under the rug quite nicely.

This is at a time where the so called country is struggling and "there is no growth" in the economy, no jobs etc etc etc

You know, there was a 12 year old girl missing down in Croydon a week ago, when all the Olympics was on, you barely heard a thing about it, it was Olympics, Olympics, Olympics rammed down your throat on 50 odd different channels 24/7, plastered all over the news. Yet when the body was found, "OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THIS!!!!??!!!! MANHUNT!!!?!!?!!"

When its all over down in London, and its back to "normal", those problems that were there before the Olympics, the problems everybody was upset about before. HAVEN'T gone away because of the Olympics, and maybe just maybe a bit of realism will come flooding back into society once the curtains come down on the whole event.

Hopefully it turns out to be like a house party the morning after the night before, and people see the explosion in front of their startled hungover zombie faces.

Not even going to read all that^^ misery laden negativity.

Is it being such a misery that makes you and your 'supporters of doom and gloom' that make you SO happy?

Never mind ey, back to the disgustingly overpaid petulant non inspirational nancy boys of the Prem next week. That'll no doubt make you all happy again.

The olympians will also be seeking sponsorship and any other method they can to get rich. They don't earn as much as footballers but that is more to it not being as lucrative rather than they are less greedy than footballers.

What's wrong with that? They train for years to be part of the olympics so its only right they get some reward whether in medals or money.

This picture was taken earlier outside the Olympic village, of what appears to be human beings in a zombie like state pleading for the event not to finish:



Some say the people have been glued to their televisions 24/7 and are now reduced to zombie like brainwashed creatures who are depending on the enjoyment of the Olympics.

Failure to continue the Olympics on past the closing ceremony tonight, experts have suggested that the outbreak may spread on a much larger world wide scale.

"Miserable" people who have not been brainwashed by the event, have not been effected by the outbreak, and are safe, for the time being, providing they take the shotgun with them, when they are out and about.

(The shotgun has been delivered to every household not effected by the outbreak.)

Physchiarists can perform marvels these days you know.

Generous

is it just me or is the closing ceremnoy (lavish as it is), just dripping too much in "England".? christ i know every host puts their national spin on it but im starting to wonder if morrissey had a point, its like a rally.

no offence english lads and lassies, great olympics, but its a bit heavy on the nationalism.

Has to counter balance the opening ceremony.

Awesome. Feel sad it's over now tbh.

Back to being a misery hole now I guess....some never stopped.

Thank god the bloody things over with but not the bill which will cost every man jack of us for the next 30 years. I did hear one bit of good news the next one is in Rio which is far enough away I would have preferred even further (such as the moon) but I will settle for Rio. I expect though it will still be on the BBC for next 3 months 24x7 reliving the London games how wonderful thank god for cable TV. The BBC thrive on it, they love wasting taxpayers money. I expect they will send 10,000 superannuated BBC staff to Rio all expenses 5 star hotels. Its only the mug taxpayer who cares?

I loved it! The ending was epic! Stans money was well spent! Thanks Stanley you kind hearted man!

Anarchy is the answer

as long as its organised well

am a bit sad the games are finished. not because i like the olympics ( its ok) but its cos the roads in east london was half empty. its never been soo quite

I have nothing against the basic event or the athletes but not the politics. The orginal budget for the cost of the event was £2b and it ended up costing £12b. I am an accountant and a budget is a budget how on earth have they got away with overspending 6 times? Can anyone answer me that? because in any private sector business not would never happen. THe BBC yes normal sane organisations no.

I'd NEVER have guessed.

D'ya wear beige shorts in the summer,and sandals with beige socks by chance too?

THAT'S the one Mumblin'!!

LMFCO.

10/10 and a freshly plucked golden coconut too!
Top man!

Yeah thats me Lumba in my back garden. Did you take that off google earth ?

One of the 'scàms' involved use of soldiers (paid by taxpayer) to fulfill the security contract, preferred it when it was jobseekers !

Thanks for a great olympics british tax payer people

& the russian beat taylor!
