    Not only that but the logos on the toilets, sink and hand dryers have to be covered up, all advertising hoardings within specific Olympic zones have to be covered to.

    They're even covering the Brains bridge FFS!!
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      How the heck this is even legal?

      Might boycott gymnastics final because of horrible treatment established brands such as Pepsi-Cola, Mastercard are being treated.

        Another classic piece of bullshit: from the Wail. You can only take stuff in that will fit comfortably under your seat, so if you want a family picnic split it up and take a small rucksack each.
        Take an empty water bottle and fill it up at the venue for free.

          Is this what poor people eat?

            I think the mention of 100ml liquid limit suggests it may be somewhat limited.

              No mention of an upper limit to the number of 100ml bottles allowed though?

              Not sure I'd fancy the chances of the free water dispensers working properly, or it being practical to fill a bottle with a 1000 thirsty people queuing behind, foreign queuing style. Doubt I'd be keen to queue up for a jacket potato either. The whole thing sounds awful.

                I was at the World Cup here in Germany and you could only get the official sponsors stuff as well although the prices were a lot cheaper. It was rather stupid as you're in one of the great beer producing nations of the world and the official beer was (American) Budweiser! Outside the stadiums though it was a different matter, there were numerous stands selling decent beer and wurst...

                  Highest rated comment in the Daily Mail (by far):
                  Anyone stupid enough to buy tickets to watch this dross deserves to be fleeced

                    The Euro footie championships were in Germany guess who got the franchise for food and beer?

                    Maccie D and some Yank brewer.

                    In the land of sausage and good beers it made me weep.
