    The Irish Olympian - do they have to run under the tricolour or could they have represented another country?

    Run eh? I know what my answer will be steering clear of anyways :D

    Hi Necro. Do you mean numbered?

    Thanks for letting me know. Now that I know how to enter, I'm going to win this. No point anyone else entering. :)

    :D

    If you have yet to find any grey hairs, MoH, you will by question 10 of the reveal. These games are a rollercoaster of emotions.

    I also suggest joining the waiting list for SA (sheeps anonymous) as you’re gonna be hooked! And every time those farmers post in their sheep thread bringing that thread to the front page of boards, you’ll automatically think it’s a new game here and get really excited. That’s when you need Sheep’s Anonymous most.

    And Necro being cheap :pac:

    I'd never insinutate such a thing!!!!











































    not on a public forum anyway :)

    If we're talking about 2012, I have to show off. My tickets hanging on my wall...
    :D


    2012 is by some distance the best event I’ve ever attended. Saw Katie T against the English lady, saw Rudisha in his 800m heats. The buzz around London is like nothing I’ve ever experienced

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,653 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Just had a go, always fancied my chances on pointless 🀔, let me know if I haven't done it right


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Looks good to me DJIMI, welcome to the wonderful world of Peehs :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,380 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Of course, Djimi's already one highly desired and hard earned medal...

    I love the Olympics. Watched the entire opening ceremony from London 2012 last Friday night.

    BBC and Eurosport have been doing reruns of the sports too.

    Me too. I broke my leg in Feb 2018 and while it was crap being immobile for a couple of months, my time on the couch coincided with the winter olympics in South Korea, which because of the time difference was shown live every morning. It made for a great two weeks of viewing. :D

    :D

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


    I got a ticket to one night of the athletics. Couldn't get over the amount of people in and out of the stadium like yo-yos multiple times to get beer, pizza and chocolate and missing most of the action. It was only a 2.5 hour session.

    This did happen on the night though :pac:

    This has been an issue for years. You see a thread has a new post but when you click into it you still can’t see the new post but when you come back out of the thread and it’s still showing there’s a new post.

    In my experience, that new post is the first on a new page and to read it, you have to make a post too. I’m set to 40 posts per page so it might be a different post for users with different page settings.

    Tonight is the night so get yourselves warmed up and ready for the Olympic Peehs Finals!

    Who will take the podium and bring pride to their households, and who will crash out in the heats?

    Still time to enter, just PM me your answers before 6pm this evening and we will be kicking off with our opening ceremony at about 8pm!!!

    Is there going to be random drug testing?


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Jabari Noisy Squad


    Enjoyed that. Went a bit ambitious on a couple of answers but overall happy enough that I've gotten right answers at least.

    Keep a bottle of whiskey in the bathroom just in case ;)

    Olympic Peehs and the organisers do not condone the use of performance enhancing internet substances such as Google

    However we feel that players who have entered have done so in good faith within the spirit of the game so no random house checks will be conducted at this time ;)

    No performance enhancing drugs for me, I've been doing high altitude training. I haven't seen the downstairs in my house for two weeks now.

    Couldn't afford altitude training. Still waiting on the grant for my official olympic tracksuit from the Irish Olympic Council.


    Obviously it will be in green but it will look something like this:

    I'll probably be Eddie the Eagle or Eric the Eel this game.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Looks like this will be our final list...


    Still ten mins or so to whack an entry in though!!!
