These Olympics might turn out to be bad investment for GB

I always enjoy it when Samora Moises Machel opens posts like this....

I always can expect a laugh at the end of it........

How is the chow tasting?

Samora is wrong on the medals (but that part I feel was light hearted), but the jury is till out on the overall economic impact

The London Olympics has much to delight – but forget any talk of a legacy
London 2012 is fun and competently delivered, but to think we'll ever recover the cost is like believing in Santa Claus

Areadaddy such subtleties fly over the heads of lesser minds

Some people need to loosen up a little christ

[Comrade Machel]

So far they are number 17 in medals table

5 days later they are in 3rd

with GB, it's mostly about rowing, cycling and a bit of track

Noone can beat the Brits in any sport that involves sitting on your #$%

Cycling, rowing, show jumping (horses) etc

But seriously the sudden flurry of medals by GB did upset me somewhat . Federer don collect bribe otherwise no way

I was genuinely happy for Jess Ennis and Mo Farrah though


Did you hear that foolish BBC guy's faux pas when he said "Mo Farrah showing the Africans how its done"

Don't get him a get-out-of-jail card. Let him just enjoy his big portion of the frozen humbe pies. This is what he initially wrote which has nothing to do with the economic impact

These games might turn out to be a disaster for GB in terms of returns via medals

They thought they had won silver in gymnastics but Japan appealed and GB was demoted to bronze Even that girl with the horse face Addlington the swimmer who they hoped would win gold, bronze is best she could manage That swimmer Daley or whatever his surname, they were gushing about his good looks. Well the judges didnt care much for his looks, no medal

So far they are number 17 in medals table

Pokey can make false start in 1500m but you made your own false start in a marathon race.

I no go lie sha. That was my first thought. Murray vs. Federer come resemble U.S.A. basketball vs Nigeria's.

[anikulapo]

As I predicted....it has been a total disaster

[Damunk]

I doubt GB spent all this money just to win a gold medal.

Eh if you lived in the UK you would have seen them trumpeting how this is a home games and with the support they will do better than Beijing and what not. Not saying its the reason but the public will be expecting them to overhaul the achievements of 4 years ago

Its about to happen. Still 6 DAYS TO GO and they have 40 medals, one short of Beijing and 18 of those 40 are gold.

Want some more of this?
Oya......Eat!

hmmm, a weekend of medals??? now the reverse trend, hmm who ever thought team GB will pack Gold!!! think the olympics has been a sucess for the UK based on the medal haul
