Another reason to like Nicola Adams, she will have pissed Piers Moron off.
London 2012 Olympic Competition
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
Why, what's he been saying?
He's slagging off anyone who isn't singing the national anthem such as Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins. He's putting up £1,000 to charity everytime an athlete that wins a Gold sings the national anthem. Way to ostracize someone who have how many years of effort achieves their lifetime goal.
Ah right yeah. There's a couple of fake tweets doing the rounds:
Also nice riposte from 'Col Tate' here:

Proud ain't the word
The Wiggins tweet isn't real. But Morgan's called people "dimbos" for believing it....This from the man who left the Mirror for printing faked pictures he believed to be real.
Get in! Norway through to the handball final. Looking good now.
Go on Nicola!!
Australian women pushed the American girls all the way but it looks like an American win in the basketball.
Just back (in work!) from watching the fight and afters. Katie was fantastic. The support was brilliant and I hope she makes all she can out of this.
Gold for Nicola Adams.She makes British Womens Boxing history.
Katie Taylor up next
Titanic's leaving port soon.
For once I was pleased to be in Bray today. Amazing atmosphere. I was firmly on the bandwagon. In the Royal Hotlel with barely room to breath
Stood outside the sports hall of the YMCA watching it before I played footy. Shouting "Go on, Ireland!" All the English lads I play with cheering her on as well. 
Does that mean the island of Ireland has 8 medals all told? That has to put us up there, in terms of population-to-medals ratio.

Bolt is a cert to win, barring an injury. Can't wait.
Worse than that, he knew they were fake but printed them anyway.
Worse than that, he's called Piers.
Honestly, this dressage is just upper-class fecking bollocks. cnuts, the lot of them.

Ireland have 2, currently...?
How the feck is this dressage classed as a "sport"
Useless posh cnuts.

Just watched that, sparky. Laughed my ass off. Ridiculous sport
The gold medalist ain't posh at all though.
Common as muck, they say. Not rich enough, they say.
We are sure of another 3. All boxers in semi finals thus far
Its horrific, and she just said, "we have to make sure the horse is comfortable with the music..."
what the actual feck?

It is slightly bollocks but not for that reason, stop with the working class hero act. Dujardin's mother actually bought a horse for her only due to her mother's inheritance, if that helps ease your bitterness over people having more money than you
Ahhh, yeah forgot about that. Still only give you 5 though, dunno where 8 came from?
Badunk said "island of Ireland", not just the Republic.
Well that was a bit of a cock up from the BBC, after talking about the Adams fight they then went on to talk about the "other headlines" one of which was video of Taylor and the headline, "Irish eyes are smiling" however Linekar talked about the Adams fight again starting with "As we have already seen Adams won...blah blah blah".....bastard
Just an update on my and TheReligion's wager - I hope this will prove that the per capita stats are utterly meaningless:
Based on current medal hauls and data from the 2011 censuses from both country (Hungary 9.982,000 people, UK 63,100,000).
Hungary have 8 golds (1 gold for every 1,247,750 ppl) and 15 medals (665,467 citizens/medal) currently.
Team GB 24 golds and 51 medals total (1 gold for every 2,629,167 ppl, 1 medal for every 1,237,255 citizens).
If Hungary was as big as the UK and these statistics were meaningful, we would stand on: 50,56 golds and 94,8 medals.
If the UK had as many people as we do and these statistics were meaningful, you would stand on: 3,8 golds and 8,07 medals in total.

Who is the ginger they are interviewing here?
Agree.Come dancing for horses
Word up. Norn Irn has contributed a few, I think.
Oh yeah, mate. Du Jardin bought a horse with her inheritance. That's me told.
I wasted mine on gobstoppers and cola bottles.

You don't seem to have a clue what you're commenting on tbf. Her grandmother passed away, which saw her mother inherit some money, which she used a portion of to buy her daughter a horse.What a fecking run! Jesus Christ! That was more impressive then Bolt!
Good finish to the women's football final.Japan 2-1 down to USA but finishing strong.10 minutes left.
