leeslover Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Jesus. You should be totally against this farce. You're just playing hard to get. - The LA games didn't cost a public cent, that would have been my model. They told the TV networks to lodge a deposit if they were interested in bidding and rented an office from the interest. I am against paying for it, but no more so than I am in paying for a bone idle GP to retire on a fat pension at my expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, they allowed a later finish for tonight's gig at Hyde Park. Early bath for The Boss, late rnning tubes and noise pollution for whoever it was now.

jsslatic Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I am now, but the archery went to a shoot off and I couldn't pull myself away. Both because of the tension and the fact the commentator had as little idea of what was happening as I did. 'And Japan have scored 9 so that means the last Indian is not required to shoot his last arrow.' [Camera cuts to Indian lining up his bow] '[long pause]...to affect the score.'

oafcprozac Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 £3.60 for a small bottle of Heineken or Magners £5+ for a wine Tub of Pringles £2.50 Pies and Pasties £3+ Water £1.60 Pop £2.30 We only bought drinks, as we took our own food. Food did run out at one stage but I believe they re-stocked. Oh and i'm going there again tomorrow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ta. Not good, but not too shocking. Might still bail out after the Brazilians though. Any problems getting food through security? Absolutely none, I was pointed to a small bag check area by a friendly customer and I'm quite glad of it as it took 5 minutes and the queue for the main bag check area was easily 30 minutes. I'd allow a bit more time if you have a bag. I don't know about the bag check for anywhere else in the ground apart from the North stand but hopefully they have more than the 2 areas. I'd bring bottle tops though, you are supposed to be able to get drinking water to fill up an empty bottle in the ground but there was only a bit dodgy tasting tap water in the bit I was in. I think they may have only got the same amount if food in for a standard OT game but as it was a virtual full-house and 5 hours long a greater percentage of people wanted food than normal. So you may find for a non GB game the food doesn't run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back in the world of local enterprise partnerships now. Except I'm on here, which has nothing to do with the regional growth fund and the growing places fund and all manner of other BS.

leeslover Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Germans cut their noses off to spite Cav's face in the cycling. Always a struggle to catch a strong breakaway group with 4 men pulling the whole peleton over a 6 minute lead, carrying a sprinter who isn't dead fond of hills. Feel for Cav, Wiggins was too drained to give them a chance in the Madisson last time and now this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Germans and a few others. Why would you blatantly deny yourself any chance of winning? BBC coverage was absolutely shocking as well. You had to remember which shops the lead group had just passed in the hope of discovering the time gap when the second group went past. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 It's not the BBC, I don't think it was the Beeb's fault It's not. They are not producing the coverage, IOC are the providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
