And all the hoop-la over the modern Olympics and Hitler's Olympic flame strikes me as silly.<br /><br />But a mix-up in the South and North Korean flags is a HUGE deal. Imagine if such a mix-up had occurred in the depth of the cold war between the USA's Stars and Stripes and the Soviet Union's Hammer and Sickle. That would have initiated a major international incident. If anything, this is more serious than that. Involving two nations that ARE at war.<br /><br />The comments on here have been quite reasonable. But other media comments have sometimes been along the lines that it's all just a silly mistake, and the flags look similar anyway. Now just how brain dead do you have to be not to know the difference between the North Korean and South Korean flags? AND know that mixing them up is a big freekin deal?<br /><br />I would expect this of Americans who hardly recognize a world outside their borders, but not of the British. Of course there IS the matter of whether the fault belongs to the Scots or the English. Or of some underpaid and undereducated stadium staff functionary who was just told to go get the Korean flag.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450203101640592230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-69967512763181017962012-07-27T00:29:05.476+01:002012-07-27T00:29:05.476+01:00Is that the same match Arbroath... in Wales?

Not because of the Olympics, I usually enjoy watching them, but because of the incessant ass licking as expertly demonstrated by the BBC!<br /><br />Like Pa I was seriously going to give the Olympics a miss BIG time, however, with all the cock ups in the last couple of days it might be a bit of fun.<br /><br />Lets see now:<br /><br />Danny Boyle is told to cut 30 minutes from his "opening ceremony". WHAT no one at LOCOG "thought" to tell him how long his "ceremony" was to run for or start the ceremony EARLIER? Oh wait a minute LOCOG don't do thinking!<br /><br />ZIL lanes opened up and the REAL people of London have to fight through traffic chaos. Nice one LOCOG!<br /><br />It's too hot for the tube trains to stop at Stratford station a.k.a. Olympic Central. JEEZ!<br /><br />Greek athlete sent home for making a racist tweet. Good start.<br /><br />EIGHT athletes are banned from athletics for 2 - 4 years because they FAILED drug tests. Getting Better.<br /><br />MORE military personnel involved in the "Olympics Security" than we have stationed in Afghanistan. Getting even better.<br /><br />Hampden "sold out" for its first football matches. O.K. I was stretching the point there a bit. O.K. O.K. I was stretching the point quite a lot actually! :D<br /><br />You know what the London Olympics might really be worth watching after all! :lol:Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-33417838446913782502012-07-26T11:53:55.587+01:002012-07-26T11:53:55.587+01:00Who was that bloke that did....It'll be alrigh...Who was that bloke that did....It'll be alright on the night?

They should have done something serious about transport and they haven't; they've paid off people from borders, and then demand that they work twice as hard as normal for no extra money; they antagonise by having Zil lanes and changing traffic lights in the weird belief that no one minds being HUGELY inconvenienced for the benefit of Coca Cola and McDonalds.<br /><br />Pile of idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-48098601560618504592012-07-26T11:10:35.937+01:002012-07-26T11:10:35.937+01:00I'm beginning to think these olympic games mig...I'm beginning to think these olympic games might be worth watching after all, it looks as if its going to be a two week long episode of Who's Been Framed.<br /><br />You can't buy chips in the canteen?
