I understand Sir Paul was a bit embarrassing and, and the fireworks were magnificent, you could see them and feel the vibrations from my house!

I’m pleased the ground moved for you Words :-# Have to agree regarding Sir Paul its about time he bowed out gracefully.

What’s with the use of french first?

French is the recognised language of the modern Olympics so it is always French first, English second, then the language of the host country. And Greece always leads the procession of the athletes as an acknowledgement of where it all began.

And I never knew that until last night either!

Jen, I’m not impressed by your lack of knowledge luv.

Maybe I could put you right on the football stuff that you may or may not tune in to watch. There are two teams playing against each other in every match. They can’t have more than two teams per match because there are only two goals to shoot into. And the referee is neutral which means if England play France for instance the referee will probably be Scottish which means France will win the game.

Maybe they should’ve done an insert of illegal immigrants crawling out the backs of lorries as they arrived in the UK. And then helicopters in the skies with cameras trying to pick out muslims with rucksacks waiting at bus stops.

My bad!!
I actually giggled out loud when I read this :lol:
Terry you’re a star darling…siezing every opportunity you can to get in your point :wink:

I don’t have a point – I was just thinking of an alternative film to the one that Daniel Craig was in that they could have used the helicopter. If we’re talking modern day Britain, then why not?

Terry darling, I really don’t give two hoots whether you’re impressed by my lack of knowledge or not.

As for your explanation of football, is that really the sum of your knowledge? Because if it isn’t, I’d have to assume that you were patronising me and surely you wouldn’t do that…would you?
