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!

Sean 06-07-2005 07:51 PM

Bad Translation...

WE GANGNONS!

BWAHAHAHA EATS MY MERDE, JACQUES CHIRAC!

Auto Translators suck.. and so does my french.

PrejudiceSucks 06-07-2005 08:34 PM

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.
