Annoyed by the Olympics thread

[Lockhouse]

Feel free to post your annoyances here.

South West Trains have banned all full size bikes from their trains during the Olympics (I cycle).

My commuter train to the South Coast has been overflowing with Olympic officials for the past two days, none of whom understand how a quiet carriage works.

I feel for you It really pisses me off when you get plebes in the quiet carriage. (especially first class) However I am normally the angry bloke that suggests that they STFU or move seats

I left my office an hour early a few weeks back to get caught in the chaos caused by the torch relay as it passed through bath.

They're only allowing teams to select one rider for the track cycling individual sprint, which means that either Chris Hoy (Olympic champion) or Jason Kenny (world champion) will be left out and the crowds won't see the olympic champion agains thte world champion, AND, whoever wins will be told for the rest of his life 'ah, but Hoy/Kenny wasn't there'.

Oh sorry, was this thread not meant for sporty types?

No, now we'll have to start a second thread "Annoyed by the Olympics Sports Thread"

I'm sure I'll have plenty of annoyances in a couple of weeks, when the M11 is closed.

WMTTS - some of the decisions are stupid like the none selection of Aaron Cook (Taekwondo)

[BrilloPad]

Since they messed up the ticket sales I have had enough. There should have been one site globally - I was not aware of other sites. It should have been limited to 1 ticket per person. All I wanted was to take the kids to 1 event.

When the torch comes to SE9 none of the torch carriers are from SE9!

I am going to find a zil lane protest and join the bike blockade.

I am intend to take the kids up to see the missiles they are putting up near me in Oxleas wood - then tell them we are terrorists. Give the f**kers some grief.

So it was a choice between Cook and Taekwondo in which sport?

And when they get onboard they pick the first empty seat and start fiddling around while the rest of commuters are trying to move down the carriage.

That Nazi torch relay is a tedious load of old bollocks.

You haven't been trying hard enough, I've got loads of tickets. About 10% of what we asked for in the ballot, then at subsequent sales I've picked up a few more.
