Um no chip on the shoulder at all it is what it is, I think you may find that it is actually called the London Olympics. Its a title. Similarly you are Konabunny not bellend. If I were to call you that mistakenly then you would correct me and I would use the correct name.

Simples, rather than spout tripe accept you made a mistake, or do you not make mistakes? As for the short fuse I think you may see I was pointing out the correct name of the London Olympics and did not resort to calling people pedants or getting xenophobic.

I’m not being xenophobic. You should lay off the Brains/Irn Bru/veda, it’s giving you a persecution complex.

So how is “London Olympics” more accurate than “English Olympics” if not all the events are taking place in England and even fewer are taking place in London?

Similarly you are Konabunny not bellend. If I were to call you that mistakenly then you would correct me and I would use the correct name.

There’s no “K” in my screen name.

I didnt say it was an accurate depiction of the event, I agree in the sentiment that it should be the “host” country as it impacts us all from a cost perspective and the events are held at other locations. However it is titled the London Olympics unfortunately.

Anyway I am glad we can laugh at ourselves, I would much rather have it as the “English Games” as its a lot more inclusive of the whole polpulation, rathere than the powers that be asking us to all get behind the “London Olympics”.

It is only a lot more inclusive if you are English I think you will find that the team there is British. therefore british may be an even more inclusive /accurate term..London or England still excludes parts of the country…still should help an independence vote to see your arrogance ..if my fat filled arteries can last that long FFFFFFRRRRRRRREEEEEDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM etc 😆

Valid point Junkyard, but we are made to feel excluded. I love the Scotch Scots and everyone so certainly not excluded in my mind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

CBA to get involved in the politics but in defence of Brewdog the ‘Sink the Bismarck’ was a jokey riposte to the guys at Schnorschbrau who took the worlds strongest beer title from them stating (jokingly) in their press release that the title belonged in Germany and not Scotland as ‘real men don’t dress as women’ (eg: kilts).

Spitfires advertising was on the other hand knuckle dragging jingoism and that campaign also featured a dash of homophobia as well (‘bandits at six o’clock’ with two moustached men) which put me off Shepherd Neame for life.

I apologise for my low-grade trolling upthread. I am in fact one of those touchy Celts and I was ignorant that Olympics events were taking place outside England (hence the question).
