The Olympic Hype Moan thread

[garyscott]

My latest moan is that whenever you have a good moan theres some do gooder out there who wants to stop you moaning, is that a single or double moan

[gonk]

The only bit of the olympics i am interested in is the closing titles,god knows what the the final cost will be,no doubt ten times more than originally stated,and were is the money coming from,the burk in No 10 says we are skint,i love the latest, the keystone cops are doing security,that's if they turn up.My suggestion for music at the opening of the olympics,the Benny hill show theme.I just want to be sedated till its over.Just a thought,can you get a rebate off the TV licence if you don't watch it.

New York had the right idea .Its too expensive no thanks we have better things to spend our money on.
I wish there had been 1% of the TV coverage the olympics will get, on RIAT and Farnboro.

I remember once, RIAT (IAT back then to start with) and SBAC Show at Farnborough each used to have an hour on the TV a week or so after the show ended. Never see that nowadays.
You have to pay for DVD's now from PlanesTV etc.

If the Government think the Olympics is a money making scheme for the UK, they have another thing coming. It's a money making scheme for London and Weymouth, no other part of the country will benefit from these games whatsoever.

That had me in hysterics, hilarious, who even plans this stuff, it hasnt even begun yet.

Surely they can't argue if drivers complain and refuse to pay the fines?

[Mike]

At first I thought this was a complete joke by the planners, but surely there's plenty of other ways around it ?

An absolute nightmare for delivery drivers, taxis etc. though.
