Now, I admit I know four fifths of nothing about the sport, but how can the governing body select someone 92 plaaces down the rankings from the WORLD NUMBER ONE?

(other sports, politics and olympics I know, so if it's merged I comepletely understand)

Maybe team GB is working on a 50/50 ratio of black athletes and white athletes?

Sounds utterly bonkers to me, on the basis of what I'm reading from the OP's link. Utterly bonkers.

But then again, Ms Ennis is 'too fat' ...

As sad as the original story may be, [url=http://gawker.com/5913175/behold-the-london-olympics-creepy-brand-exclusion-zoneTHIS is far more wrong on so many level[/url

Fooking Olympics, I was as pleased as anyone when we won it and yet I now can't wait for it to be all over and finished with.

Who says that? Jessica Ennis is absolutely stunning.

was an article in the papers.
i however, agree with you mate about her being stunning with a great figure.

In fairness watching them trying to police that is probably more interesting and exciting than over 70% of olympic events.

I just wish the Olympics would feck off to be honest. I could not be less interested in the whole thing; stupid amounts of money wasted.

And this torch carrying thing is a joke. It's meant to be a privilege to carry it, yet it's become much less of a privilege when you share that duty with 7,999 other people. I hate to think what the whole thing is costing.

Why can't they just have some games, preceded by the Queen cutting a ribbon and lighting the flame? Over, done with.

Damn right she is.

How much money has been 'wasted'?

I noticed this morning that there's roadworks going on just around the corner to make a 'table' for the walking events.

Obviously that'll improve transport for all Londoners (who have been paying extra for the whole affair via their council tax).

And the stuff about some sort of vastly improved transport system is tosh. One slightly improved route to Stratford does not count as widespread improvement to the transport system.

Thanks for that.
