Whether a participant or, dare I say it, a spectator - enjoy.

Olympics

Regrettably Brisbane won the right to host them in 2032 (?).....managed to fend off ....no other bidders actually......

Opening ceremony tonight, and despite being basically same time zone....do not think I'll even bother watching it...

EA, I would venture to say that Madame Pullachook after being told she will be attending the opening ceremony will exhibit all the signs of being bored fartless having to sit and watch same.

EA, thank you for the reminder, I was aware of the games this summer but not that they were so soon. I shall devote as much time to the games this year as I did the tennis.

Pallachook insisted that she was not to attend the opening ceremony. Then, Australian chief Olympics @rse clown John Cates told her she did not understand how insulting it would be and that she MUST attend, FFS, a line no doubt fed to Coates from Pallachook. He advised that Opening ceremonies cost $75 to $100 million, FFS, what made her think QLD could afford any of this....?

The term 'bread and circuses' springs to mind. :-?

So far, have managed to avoid watching any of the Olympics. Hope to continue with such luck.

Perhaps someone should tell Pallachook that the only reason why Bris scored the 2032 Summer Olympics was because no one else wanted it. People aren't that stupid these days.
