Big John Posted 3 October, 2010 Share Posted 3 October, 2010 Looking forward to a good games. I predict that we will see a resurgence of the Vuvazela too, I can hear the odd one listening to the opening ceremony right now. Is it law that they have to speak in English I wonder? Or this just a misplaced 'mark of respect' to the Queen, who ironically can't even be arsed to attend herself and sends her nutty eco-warrior son at massive cost to our nation and more importantly ;-) the environment.

I think it's probably because they're mightily fed up with us shouting loudly in pidgin English when they speak their own language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted 3 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 3 October, 2010 Just what I've seen thus far is very good. That helium balloon (world's biggets btw) is great. Great music, song and dance and culturally a great venue. In many ways India is the jewel in the commonwel;th crown imo but having never been there I know nought of the poverty ridden side of the country, which cannot be that nice and doubt that we'll see it represented here. I once saw Ravi Shankar and was mesmerised if not a little bored, then he apologised to the audience saying that he would not have time to complete the original 'set' as the 'tune-up' had taken so long! He hadn't even started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 5 October, 2010 Share Posted 5 October, 2010 I've just been watching the Greco-Roman wrestling. Is it me, or does anyone else find this 'sport' somewhat disturbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
