Was just interested in the legacy bit to be honest. Regeneration I mentioned, (don't know Stratford so have no idea if they've delivered but it is still localised to that area and not the rest of the country). Tourism I didn't mention and is a good short term shout although I'd assume London will always be a popular City break for non-UK residents. I was kind of taking the piss, (guess you never got the joke like I never got yours), as well suggesting Coe's vision was 'no fuck-ups' as I've no idea what his vision actually is and therefore would like to know how the Olympics is going inspire people? I've not much interest in the Olympics, never thought it would be a disaster but don't think it's anything other than a sporting event.

Was she smart?

I see said the blind man! Sorry for implying you're impolite and unsociable, then. Now how does he claim he invented it?

Still hounding poor LM despite him being banned further compounding your previous dig at Wolfy!

"Whadda you mean, you no a like-a Italian football!!??"

The odd time I use a bus I usually say "cheers, mate" when I get off, most people do. Your Dad's not 'fucking crackers' he's just polite and sociable. Bit much that, like.

Did you have cheese before you slept?

This thread is about an Olympic legacy to Britain? If Coe's vision (and 36% other people on a poll) was to have an Olympics in Britain that went off ok with no major fuck-ups, (we'll not mention the football queues/ticket balls ups early on) and also to win medals then his vision came true. I'd assume anyone running the event would have had that vision just maybe not the capability of pulling it off. When it comes to the legacy part what exactly is his vision? A part of London might be a bit better on the eye and what else? What will the legacy be to the rest of Britain who may or may not be gifted with superior intelligence? I've a feeling their will always be scaremongering leading up to an event like this and London would've been no different to Athens for example and at the end of the day things tend to get sorted out. So what is the 'strategic' plan for Britain that will come from these games? (because CEO's like politicians have a tendency to use many words where few would do and also to deliberately obscure their meaning. Some may even call bullshit when they blether on. Just an A will hopefully lead to B will do for us thickies!

I'll happily have a pint with the first person on here to include me on a poll.

I reckon CT would be one of the most personable and down to earth people to have a pint with on here as it happens. He might talk shit when it comes to politics and change hobbies and fads like I change my Y dogs but he comes across as a genuine enough bloke with no edge about him. (You owe me a tenner for that, taxi driver, no shrapnel.)

I'm not sure if Chez is on the wind up with this thread and about to blow some unsuspecting average Joe Poster out the water with some economical insight he has but I'll raise my head up from the trench and say, 'The Olympics? So what?' What on earth difference has it made to anyone on here? If people enjoyed the Olympics then good for them and well done to the athletes as well but I personally couldn't give a fuck about it, not cos it's cool to be cynical or whatever, it just had no impact on my life whatsoever, I'm not into watching other sports and I just love the media telling me how I now feel and how proud I am etc. It's all spin for me, London? I care as much of the place as it cares for me. Coe will live off this for years and every politician will claim credit and talk an equal amount of shit about it. Legacy? Don't be fucking stupid. All the fucking half wits tuning in to Essex, Geordie shore, Jeremy Kyle, Big Brother and Noels house party will continue to do so. The majority of people who don't watch it will continue to ignore these shows. Life will go on and the media will switch their attentions elsewhere. This was the 'in' thing, now it's not.

people skirting around the subject and being dainty little wall flowers. Just say if you fancy a toontastic piss up, man! (aimed at......well if the cap fits etc.)

I WOULD go for a pint with most on here but I WOULD NOT go for a pint with that poster called NICK-KIELCE-POLAND. Was he a spoof?

I think I need one of your jobs to be honest. Where was Chez Given telling me what course to do when I was in Tilleys a few years ago, the twat?

Turned up in a white leotard and a bonk on instead of a football strip and wonders why he wasn't picked?

Chas McGill? Hearing a Geordie accent on TV in those days was pretty rare so I obviously enjoyed watching them. (Can you imagine being a Mackem or a Smoggie? It's as if they don't exist nationally.)

"Where you going now?!"

I didn't see his POV that much on that one I'll admit. Maybe you're right on that front, could be sick of the praise for our owner and pointing out that to run it as a good business then be prepared to kiss some of your top players goodbye?

Err, haven't a clue although he reminds me of a stockier version of Ally Fraser.

Honestly, man! I've had a few pints with PL in various bars in the Toon on a matchday and bumped into him at the odd away and I'm happy to say that he isn't a misery but he is fucking good craic. As for Andrew, I've never ran around a different town centre playing a glorified game of Zombie 'tuggy' but I suppose that's not miserable either. I'll stick to the pint with PL, though.

He wrote 'Jossy's Giants' as well which I liked as a young'un. RIP

The 'Shelf' or the 'bus stop'?

Gary Mabbutt. Lad's a diabetic but doesn't like mentioning it?

Holsten pils. drinkable piss or below average lager?
