OzOzOz 2 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not to long off now hey. Can London have a successful Olympics? They have the, er, great logo.... some amazing one-eyed characters... and now an "official song"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYMMnHW85mc What more could you need? Let's hope some good sports too. I see Usain Bolt was shocked at being beaten the other day.... Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I presume lots of it will be on Japanese tv. Evening/late night Japan time? Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Would think so. Still can't believe how bad that logo is. Link to post Share on other sites
norcal 5 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Would think so. Still can't believe how bad that logo is. Agreed. Also, why do the Olympics need mascots.....??? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cos they are all amateurs and they need a wacky mascot to stop em from drinking in the pub before competing Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What are those two one-eyed bell-ended characters supposed to be anyway? I presume not cocks. Serious question! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What are those two one-eyed bell-ended characters supposed to be anyway?I presume not cocks. Serious question! That was my very first thought!! Seriously, who was the design team?! There is a roster being started for the Men's Water Polo events, we will be a host home for one event - so what are suitable Olympic viewing beverages and food? And should I hang banners with the pink 2012 thingy on it? Or would that be too vomit inducing? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Perhaps the designers were using Seb Coe and Dave Becks as models.... therefore ending up looking like cocks? In which case they did a good likeness and a jolly good job I suppose! From a design point of view. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I just realized that the pink logo says "2012"!! Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Well you know crappy logos etc aside, it's in London and I hope it is a success. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Must admit I have little to no interest at all in the summer olympics. Like some events in the winter olympics though. Still that logo is so awesome that I might just have to have a look at what all the fuss is about! Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Stuart Pearce says his decision not to pick David Beckham in his Team GB squad for London 2012 was made purely for hairstyle reasons, and stressed he would not pick any player with a silly haircut. Good idea as well I reckon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I can't wait for this country to move on from Beckham. It's way past tired now. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I can't wait for this country to move on from Beckham. It's way past tired now. Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 when is the start date again? I guess hotels and bars are looking forward to increasing their prices to fleece the unsuspecting tourists....Bags, have you been advertising the palatial penthouse that is your front room? I know when the Open is in Carnoustie, people in Dundee are making a killing renting out their house to Yanks (mainly) for a couple of weeks and they nick off on holiday while the golf is on, basically pays for their holiday and then some Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Doubt ill bother watching much of the olympics as typical of Japanese TV they only show the parts that Japanese are competing in so you have no idea how anyone else or country are getting on, which is stupid as it is suppose to be a world competition not just Japan. Other countries do at least show other countries competing even when their own are not! Winter games here sucks just the same for lack of coverage. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I think it'll be the greatest games ever! (Apart from that song which is ferking shite!) Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Fingers crossed it's all about sport - well, the headlines anyway - and not some other "event". I agree with the Beckham stuff, we needed to move on from all things Beckham about 5 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
