I think we've seen a bit of Nationalism rearing it's ugly head... The Olympics are inherently political and these kinds of conversations never seem to end well.

On that note:

USA, USA, USA!

On another note...

I have a hankering for an Omega now. :D

Knowing how much I want to add back a thinner black dial watch this fall (my wrist and the Headwind fill the sleeve pretty full) my wife just looks at me with a hint of mild pain and resignation when the Omega ads come on.

They missed their chance. They should have had the Queen in a bunch of action shots like Putin. Killing the wilder-beast, swimming the English channel with two hands tied behind the back, flying a jet at mach 3, wrestling a crocodile, driving a F1 car, riding a horse into battle, doing a saturation dive to uncover some lost treasure, kicking some burly guy's ass in judo, riding with a tough looking biker gand...and she should have had a different Omega on for every occasion. If they did that, I would have gone to my dealer immediately and requested no less than 5 Omegas.

:lol: Hilarious - what an idiot.

I liked part of the opening ceremony (industrial revolution amongst others) however the hospital bed scene was just plain weird for me. The Queen could've smiled I guess too. Great Queen/Bond scene though.

racism and drug cheating before the Olympics had even begun


German flag bearer Natasha Keller stated: The Olympic Stadium is filled with Greek barefooted athletes. When we see them we play it stupid lest they ask us to lend them money.


British Athlete twitted: I hope the hungry Greeks will not eat all the food in the Olympic village.

Just google it for more details.


I am a bit surprised ... In many other threads you criticized the French (who by the way are the only ones trying to help Greece get back on its feet) while obviously you dislike the Brits and Germans !? Could you explain? ....
