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

I’ve had better nights in The Claremont.

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.

Bit ironic they are all coming in on boats.

Where is the bibby Stockholm?

Divert to Dover….-:)

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.

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
