Now, obviously this will be good for our economy, encourage children to exercise and lose weight as well as allowing us to showcase our brilliance even more. But we all know the real reason wny this is good; we beat the French :w00t: !

now all we get is a load of wierd foreign people. like my bus driver said, get a camper van and go to the rmotest part of the world for 2 weeks. good advice from him there.

Well... I guess people still remember Sydney. It's deffinetly a good idea to keep people remember that you guys drive on the wrong side of the road :bleh:

Other then that - please try to prepare something more spectacular then Bejing (and trust me, that will prove to be a challenge).

Oh man, I feel bad for the british people. What a waste of money it is going to be. Well, certain people will make a lot of money but in the end it will be the british public paying the expenses.

Dont Call Me Fat! :ranting: :ok:

Hooray for Londoners like myself!

One question.... whats the point?

What does the average Londoner actually get out of this?

A great deal of inconvenience, apparently. The Olympics are just a waste of time; I'm sure world peace wouldn't be set back too far if they stopped having them.

Besides, the whole thing is a major marketing campaign in disguise.

NOUS GANGNONS!

BWAHAHAHA MANGE MA MERDE, JACQUES CHIRAC!

Bad Translation...

WE GANGNONS!

BWAHAHAHA EATS MY MERDE, JACQUES CHIRAC!

Auto Translators suck.. and so does my french.

ah

well it means - we win!

BWAHAHAHA eat my merde Jaques Chirac.

Merde not elaborated on. Or my misspelling of winning in French.

I doubt the tense is right in French though - "we win" is a colloquial use in English isn't it? So you'd need the perfect tense really - though I can't remember enough french to work out what it is, and may be wrong. Personally I don't really care about it - don't live anywhere near London.

Now what will poor Jacques eat?

No, I think "nous gangnons" definately is Present Tense. I would translate it into German

like "wir gewinnen". Therefore I wouldn´t see any other possibility to translate it into

English than "we win".

yes, but I don't think it would have the same meaning in french, but i don't know.

It'd be "Nous gagnons! [laughter] Mange ma merde, Jacques Chirac!

Translated: "We win! [laughter] eat my sh1t, Jacques Chirac!"

A proper translation English-French would be" Nous avons gagné!= we won!"

6 years of French aren't for nothing :ok:
And I sense some acrimony between England and France, or am I mistaken? :whistle:

I sawe a great pic on the news that someone on the internet made (but I've been unable to find). It said: "Yeah, so we have crap food. We also have the Olympics" with a picture of some fish and chips :D

What's so crappy about fish and french fries?

What's so crappy about fish and chips? [/b][/quote]
Nothing whatsoever, it's a dish fit for a king. The "crap food" line is a direct piss-take of when Jacques Chirac insulted english food recently.

EDIT: Haha! I quoted before your edit! :D

The Frenchies don't know anything about good food; all the chefs who know how to make food were deported to Quebec. That's why they eat tortiere there and not in France.

amazing, we actually won something. i presume the stadium is going to be roofed so all those olympic athletes dont get rained on.
also it means loads more tourists to rip off. huzzah! must get me an illigal sausage cart.

But who is going to pay for the cost of hosting the Olympics? The British taxpayers, that's who!

Oops, this sounds like this topic may be headed for a serious discussion. Moderators, do your worst!

Like I said before: the whole thing is a major marketing campaign in disguise. The people who are really making out in this whole Olympics business are the major corporations.

It'd be "Nous gagnons! [laughter] Mange ma merde, Jacques Chirac!

Translated: "We win! [laughter] eat my sh1t, Jacques Chirac!"

A proper translation English-French would be" Nous avons gagné!= we won!"

6 years of French aren't for nothing :ok:

Ok, I can see the point now Beef meant. :bye:

With the latest terrorist attack, I wonder what London and Britain will turn into during the games.

hopefully not a bloodbath. hopefully they will prevent anything from happening. i gotta admit tho it makes my illigal sausagestand venture a bit more risky.

I mean, what kind of police state will the UK turn into.

Probably no more or less than it is at the moment, to be honest. They had best not pass the ID cards idea merely on the grounds of one attack though.

Not only would it not have solved the problem but people could also steal the cards off the dead bodies. You could then sell them on and nobody would know.

Also the whole taxpayer thing is irrelevant. We're getting as much money from the EU as we can possibly scrape. And any money that goes into it will probably be made back. Anyway, it'll distract people from the problems going on...

Oh and omg, I'll set up an illegal pasties stall up next to you. Seriously, together we can take on pretty much anything the world can throw at us.
