Nice one!

It went right past my coffee shop ( and Ben Ainslie's) in Lymington last Saturday. I was long gone after my market day breakfast. But there were large crowds despite the rain. Not long now!

For how long do we have to endure them? Starting when? I think lastminute.com is the answer.

Can't look at the logo without thinking of fellatio since somebody mentioned it.

Can't look at the logo without thinking of fellatio since somebody mentioned it.

If that's the case, it sounds like you'll be buying lots of logo pins. No no no. that's too harsh.

Ok.....let's try this: will you be purchasing any Olympic memorabilia? Yeah, that's better I think.

The sex thing seems to be mostly because of how the color (and the color itself sometimes) is applied.

Here's a version that is about the least suggestive.........it's also pretty damn ugly........heh.

I did go and see the torch, but as much as I like some sport I am a bit fed up with all the hype now. I couldn't get any tickets so ill be watching the cycling go past in Kingston from one of our suppliers offices. I didn't manage to blag any other corporate tickets so they must be hard to get. I can usually get invited to most big sporting events through either a client or sponsor, but nothing for the Olympics

That's great that you got to see it. Impressed with the quality of the photo. Was it moving when you took it?

 

[over5feet]

yes but he was on a slow walk

A lady from my martial arts club was one of the torch bearers, but I didn't get the opportunity to go and see her

I got some cracking photos when it came through the Bay. There was a great turnout too.

Hits the streets of Hackney today, I am working all day supporting the boys & girls keeping Hackney clean. We will have the streets gleaming

Have a great day....we will!

As for Olympic memorabilia, Just had an email saying that the Olympic table tennis tables will be put up for auction. among other stuff I think the postage will be high on the weight lifters kit though.

I very much hope that the WL stuff will be donated to the federation and passed down to grassroots clubs to use rather than just rusting in a lockup. That's what's tended to happen in the past, anyway. Seventeen full competition sets!
