    Have you seen the Beijing Olympic close ceremony the day before yesterday?

    What do yo think of it compared to China performance?

    Huge cultural gap, I think.

    Hope London won't let us down in 2012...

    Awwww man I dont want to live in the mountains :(

    Well I for one welcome our new Brittish overlords and I would like to make it know that I would make an excellent Duke!


    1. God save our gracious Queen,
    Long live our noble Queen,
    God save the Queen!
    Send her victorious,
    Happy and glorious,
    Long to reign over us;
    God save the Queen!

    2. O Lord our God arise,
    Scatter her enemies
    And make them fall;
    Confound their politics,
    Frustrate their knavish tricks,
    On Thee our hopes we fix,
    God save us all!

    3. Thy choicest gifts in store
    On her be pleased to pour;
    Long may she reign;
    May she defend our laws,
    And ever give us cause
    To sing with heart and voice,
    God save the Queen!

    4. Not in this land alone,
    But be God's mercies known,
    From shore to shore!
    Lord make the nations see,
    That men should brothers be,
    And form one family,
    The wide world over.

    5. From every latent foe,
    From the assassins blow,
    God save the Queen!
    O'er her thine arm extend,
    For Britain's sake defend,
    Our mother, prince, and friend,
    God save the Queen!

    6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
    May by thy mighty aid
    Victory bring.
    May he sedition hush,
    And like a torrent rush,
    Rebellious Scots to crush.
    God save the Queen!

    There's nothing worse than when that happens. It's such a trivial little thing, but the principle of it takes all enjoyment from the meal. :(

    Well it has nothing to do with us . But it will be interested to see how London do it.

    Tbh I'm shocked at the amount of pessimism in England surrounding it. They all seem to think they'll fcuk it up. As a nation they have lost a lot of self confidence over the last 30-40 years, what with the downfall of the empire and the Beatles. Pretty amazing really because they're one of the best countries in Europe and London is in the top 5 cities in the world.

    They'll go low key and modern with a lot of focus on the athletes. Beijing was all about China and the team China topping the medals table.

    I've campainged and campainged and campaigned for a muppet button, but only when something like this happens, do people support it.

    I'm sure you miss the 70's when Irish Catholics in the North were getting burnt out of their houses and both governments turned a blind eye.

    Ah ye those were the days alright............ Seriously are you trying to be hard or something? Coming onto an internet forum and posting IRA songs. Get a life man.

    Sounds like you miss being on "active service"

    You gotta love the 'Ra heads with their one track minds... They're like cute teddy bears with their hairy faces and beady little eyes. :D

    I'm afraid that all the Dukedoms have been filled, but I hear through the grapevine that the ancient and ancestoral seat of Ghey has an opening for a Lord.

    Considering that the re-build of Wembley Statium over-ran by £350 million and was seven years late, I, for one, can't wait for the 2016 London Olympics.

    Because that was posted as a joke. You on the other hand haven't got the brains to understand that and so you post that.
