seems as if someone needs re educating on the correct flag and history of Korea.

just seen it on the news, what next, it is just one error after another.

what would your life be without stuff to moan about?

The good news is that the RAF didn’t have to shoot down that commercial airliner today.

It’s their fault for having such simular sounding names imo…..”North” Korea. ffs.

Why don’t North and South Koreas do everyone a favour and have the same flag ?

If you want to moan about flags, wait until they start flying the Union Jack.

Boy, the pedants will be up in arms then I tell ya

seems as if someone needs re educating on the.. history of Korea

Which ones are the goodies and which ones are the baddies? I always get confused.

what next, it is just one error after another.

Referring to the G4S cock-up? That makes two so far, unless there are more. And I’d be very surprised if there aren’t more to come, organising an event of this scale.

just depends which side of the border or flag you sleep under.

You mean the union flag, surely??
It’s funny cos a colleague at work gave me the full story at work last night!

Not a massive big deal in the grand scheme of things, despite the tensions between the two countries. Perhaps this could be the first step in their unification.

Are Kazakhstan represented ? – hopefully they don’t show Borat singing the National Anthem.

But theyve had a considerable amount of our money and a lot of time to get it right.

If I was patriotic I’d be riled by this:

They’re all over our village and I just don’t see the need; they could have just left the “real” ones up that were still there from the jubilee.

The next couple of weeks are going to be awesome, for those people that like moaning about stuff, and love to dislike anything that’s considered “popular”

FTFY 😀

Just remember, it’s all about the Coke sport.

What’s the worst that could happen, I mean, it is only North Korea…not like they have nukes or anything… 😉

It must be the biggest, longest, most complex event ever held.

You, of course, would get it perfect? 🙄

The North Koreans are rather good at staring.

Which personally I find a tad intimidating.

Staring is a serious business

Also a good couple of weeks for people who like to just blindly accept everything in the name of patriotism and not making a fuss. 😉

and for all those gulable people who think that a few games that could be played in the playground will somehow make uk plc all well and fixed, and that its not going to be a flop, and going to cost us a considerable anmount of money that we as a country cant afford.

deluded….there was a shooging comp where the winner WAS from kazakstan…. instead of the real national antham they DID use the one from borat!! OOPS!!

daftvader,

Bloody Hells Bells – I was genuinely unaware of that.

The blunder apparently occurred after the event’s organisers downloaded the parody from the internet by mistake. They also got the Serbian anthem wrong.

😯 😀

😀

there’s all the crap Arabic translations too….

next fail

For those referring to the Union Jack: The Admiralty declared that Jack/Flag were equally acceptable very early 1900s.

The North Koreans are rather good at staring.

Well well well.

It should thus be noted that the jack flag had existed for over a hundred and fifty years before the jack staff came into being, and its name was related to its size rather than to the position in which it was flown

How dare they make fun of Dear Leader 😡

You will be exterminated by death ray …

Extermination, you say?

Well, it’s certainly better than being so ronery.

Can we just go back to moaning bout the ‘limpics?
I was being tongue in cheek.. Had 7 hours of it from my mate at work the other night after her and her MIL fell out about it!!
Edit- I was first- woohoo!!

in the grand scheme of things its not that big a cock up and everyone likes to mock the n koreans

i suspect transport issues will provide more embarrassment

of more concern will be the ultimate fate of the multi billion pound olympic site, ive walked through the barren rusting wasteland of the athens one and its not encouraging

i would like to know who thought it was a good idea to erect a rusty pile of scrap in the middle of the Olympic Park 😕

“i would like to know who thought it was a good idea to erect a rusty pile of scrap in the middle of the Olympic Park “#

Yep they said that about the Eiffel Tower, Millenium Wheel and Dome.

On the plus side, in the 54000 seat Hampden Park, there were only 15000 people, of whom only around 6500 paid to get in, so that’s not many people who have anything to complain about by being inconvenienced by some bunch of girls throwing a mini-flounce – and in true STW style, they were back soon anyway.

the Eiffel Tower, Big Wheel and Millennium Plook are in the Olympic Park? is there any room left for athletes and spectators?

I have been working with Locog and believe me this is a minor cockup in comparison 🙂

Aren’t they going to create the London Grand Prix racing circuit there? Seems like a serious proposal/bid.
