Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

[Stoned Rose]

I’ve had better nights in The Claremont.

 

[frothy]

I'd watch the can-can again, for obvious reasons.

Half of them were blokes

Looking at some of these larger team sizes compared to the UK, we clearly have a policy of only taking people who are competitive in terms of getting a podium spot and won’t fund many outside of that, whereas some of the other countries clearly have a different funding policy.
Or have I got it wrong?

Our team is as big as any but most didn’t go on the boat apparently.

Is it me or does he BBC coverage have a constant sound of raindrops in the background?

Can you spot Sacha Distel anywhere?

 

[Brewster's millions]

Think I've seen enough.

Is there some sort of grande finale at the end?

Jean-Michel Jarre.

Got to be.

 

[wolviedinho]

Bit ironic they are all coming in on boats.

Where is the bibby Stockholm?

Divert to Dover….-:)

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Half of them were blokes

I think the other half were too

 

[The Black Shed]

I know, the men were a dish!

Anything goes in the Moulin Rouge! Imagine in 1900 being tanked up on absinthe and going to see one of those shows.

 

[Looby_Blue]

This is an affront to opening ceremonies. What an absolute shit show.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Them side banks should be packed and there not, that’s what’s letting them down, the Seine is wide but there’s no atmosphere

A shit show, you say.
Would be more appropriate to have been held in the Loovre

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

No baguettes
No pan au chocolade
No croissants
No brioche
Very disappointing so far.

We'll cut prices at a stroke...

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The opening ceremony is in sane

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Right, I've given it a good go. I'm fucking it off now.

 

[MCFC1993]

Who’s the Masked Torchbearer going to be?

I’m going for Sibierski.

Charvet...

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Cue loads of athletes with the flu next week…

You are but our teams are getting larger as we become more competitive.

50-70 medals predicted by UK Sport.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Niger? Military coup? Who’d have guessed??

 

[Gabriel]

Watched for less time than it takes to run the 800 metres.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

BMX, breakdancers, skateboarders in 2024.

Flashbacks to my yout days.
