Batteries in keyboard fail.. Who changed the beatles lyrics from went downstairs and had a smoke to went downstairs and drank a coke? Product placement I can understand but there are limits.. Gaz

Does anyone know why we operate one team under the GB flag, rather than separate teams for England, Scotland and Wales? My only guess would be that we have a greater chance at getting a decent amount of sports people with all three countries combined - where as if we all went individually we...

"WHEN it was announced the Olympic Torch would pass through Oxford, it was hoped the city would see a huge boost in business. But traders hoping to make the most of a costly pitch at the official South Park event have accused organisers of squeezing the life out of it. According to stringent...

"Oral-B's official Olympic toothbrush exists because its parent company, Procter & Gamble, has a sponsorship deal enabling it to associate all its products with the Games. That's why if you look up Viakal limescale remover on a supermarket website, the famous five interlocking rings pop up...

I would like to see the running events have interval wimmers so that the fastest over 100 metres gets an award but the race continues on to 400 metres with interval awards at 200 and at the end. This would save much time and replication. Could also be done for the 800m, 1500 and adding in the...

I can fully appreciate the Olympics isn't everyone's cup of tea. However my 16 year old son has just been selected to be a torch bearer i couldn't be prouder and can't wait for them to start.

BBC News - London 2012: Food and drink rules hit Olympics fans I will refrain from comment ...except to say How many people in venue? How long to scan said number? How long to argue toss at scanners - in umpteen languages? Nah, just let 'em carry on with the mindless security and...

Are you interested in the Olympics? Personally I think it's a nonsensical waste of money at a time when we are all tightening our belts and is an ego trip by our "great leaders", not to mention the disruption they will cause. I'm sure there will be other opinions :rolleyes: but would be...

That's unusual: how rents for 2012 Olympics are 35 times their norm E-mailed the missus this morning to see if she would be up for doing it - means moving in with my folks for a few weeks which would be a bit of a tight squeeze with the kiddies, but could be worth it for these silly amounts of...
