Linky to Konnie Huq's snatch vid

[Board Game Geek]

I had intended to spark an intelligent debate on the ethos of the Olympian spirit vs the current political climate in China.

Ok..I'll bite.

I'm not a member of the People's Party, so I cannot comment on the Chinese political stance.

I'm not a member of the Olympics Committee, nor associated with the Olympics in any way, shape or form, and cannot comment on that side of things either.

Therefore, I don't feel I should have a right to comment on something that I am not a part of.

Happy now ?

Unbeleivable.

London is taken over by a Chinese goon squad who pushes around our own police force (errm.. police 'service') and all you lot can bang on about is whether you'd like to insert your Olympic torch into this Konnie Huq bint.

Bread and circuses

Got agree with you there Bogey.

Shocking how this thread veered in the wrong direction.

I'll get it back on track - talk about tasty Bristols!

Sport should transcend all political debate or the Chinese shouldn't be allowed to hold the Olympics because of their awful civil rights track record? Discuss.

Isn't this just the latest band wagon for everyone who feels they have a social conscience to jump on, if they really feel that bad about shouldn't they be manning the ramparts in Tibet rather than writing an irate email in their lunch hour, not saying I'm right just strikes me that this is the latest fashionable cause that will be forgotten about in 5 minutes.

Yeps, and they'll carry on buying chinese gear in the shops, and the funny thing about these handwringers is they probably buy more chinese stuff in the shops than the average. 'Cause that is just the type of people they are...

Hey, I showed solidarity with my Tibetan brothers last night, I had a keema jalfrezi instead of chicken fried rice and BBQ ribs. We will bring them to their knees together bogey, you keep up the hand wringing and intellectual whining approach, I will persue the economic assault

Typical that the IOC is now considering ditching the torch relay in future years. Yeah it's the torch the protesters are so against, not the hosts China.

Too true. Many won't even know much about Tibet, like I don't. It just sounds such a nice name for a holiday destination, and there's supposed to be a Llama there?

Perhaps in 2012 we could use the torch relay to protest against things we're unhappy with, and ask our "comrades" in other countries to do the same.

Things like the total lack of filling in a Ginsters Peppered Steak Slice. You know, things that really matter.

Is it really the Olympics again already?

'Fraid so.

The torchy thing is coming past my house, so, I've bought myself one of those huge fan thingies they use in films. This will be positioned in my front garden and just as the local 70 year old 'hero' staggers past, I switch it on.

'tulip, it's gone out!'
'Bugger, back to Athens then'
