Medal Revealed

I’ll get this one in early…

How many time will GB medal next year? 🙂

That bleedin’ 2012 logo is on it too!

What a bucket of poo.

is that bo diddley on the front ?

her boobies look a bit, err, pronounced and she seems to have a little willy too 😯

are you trying to sneak a new logo thread on here under the radar DD?
It is gash

Isn’t it a bit fitting that it has “that” logo and XXX on it?

LOLz

Jeebus, I wish 🙂 It is gash isn’t it? I really wanted something to like about it – but no. And it’s the biggest one ever!

This was Barcelona’s:

Like!

Proving that the German’s were a liberal bunch 😀

Munich:

That’s the first half decent application of the logo I’ve seen to date! I quite like the pyramid treatment. Still looks like Lisa Simpson performing a solo on Bart’s yellow saxophone.

Probably more resignation than admiration though.

I’d go like a rocket if I thought I’d win a medal with a winged ladyboy on one side and a cubist picture of Lisa Simpson giving a BJ on the other.

Aha, KerPlunkl! That’s what I was trying to think of.

They used to be solid gold I think but now I understand they’re just plated. What a crock of poo.

If your mate Gordon hadn’t ‘given’ all ours away maybe they could have been 😉

Who on Earth are you and how d’you work out Gordon Brown is my mate? ❓

I’ve never met the bloke.

Please guys… 😐

Who on Earth are you and how d’you work out Gordon Brown is my mate

I’m whimbrel, pleased to meet you. A poster on a what I thought was a public forum making an attempt at tongue in cheek humour. Who are you? Have I broken some sort of rule?
Please let me know and I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. 😳

Whibrel – dinnae worry – its only elf 🙂 His bark is worse than his bite

It would seem to be teh rulez that all STW leftists (and I include myself fully here) also distance themselves from anyone Labour flavoured that came after Red Ken.

Oh, and I like the London one the best out of the three above. 😛

Who are you?

Now that’s a very good question…

..it’s an ecumenical matter.

Just seen this on BBC. Can someone translate the following quote for me

Reverse features 2012 emblem as “architectural expression, a metaphor for the modern city” on a dished background evocative of an amphitheatre

How is that ridiculous 2012 logo an “”architectural expression, a metaphor for the modern city”?

Jeeze, London gets the worst logo in the history of the Olympics. What a joke.

I’m sure the Games will be a complete success however and the lasting legacy left will benefit Londoners (and indeed the rest of the UK) for decades to come….

If the design was done by Emin (just think for a minuite there), would you be more inclined to like it?

I wonder.

I still don’t see anything in it’s design that “says something” to me. I can’t see it. So for me it’s a waste. As for the logo, well do we know who designed it? I sort of remember sometime back the design was a group let thing… dunno.

Still, they are the biggest yet, at something like 85mm dia it’ll certainly be noticed in blingoland init.

Twice;

I like it

I was driving last night, listening to Radio 4, yet another segment along the lines of “Yeh OK the venue building is ahead of schedule and the organisation seems good BUT REALLY ITS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH, EVERYTHING IS CR4P! blah blah blah…..” Channel Four News and Newsnight both doing the same, talking us down at every opportunity. What’s wrong with us?

what ever happened to those mascots ? didn’t see them knocking around at the 1 year to go celebration.

You would rather the medals were made of gold Elf? That’d put the cost up even more I feel. We’re lucky not to have a handshake and a rosette, to be honest.

What’s wrong with us?

That’s a fair point. We are a bunch of whingeing fkkers. Ok so some things need to be whinged about, but sometimes you just need to let it go.

Whats wrong with us? Nowt – we know this is a load of steaming turds.

The logo is shite
The cost is outrageous
There is no meanigful legacy
Its a huge vanity project

They were on the news clips last night.

The image on the front of the medal is a version that has been on most of the medals since the 1920’s. The BBC website has the full set of them. The winter games medals look better to be honest.

The gold medals have 6gms of gold in them – but only worth a couple of hundred pounds of metal. But what is worth to the winner. (I heard that the Silver medals are worth the most, they are made out of silver!)

I for one am looking forward to the games. We complain how the UK is second rate and we should do more stuff. We are, it will be here next year. Most of the media are pissed off with the fact that the building work is ahead of schedule and the IOC and athletes are delighted with the buildings. No stories of delays.

If the Olympics are not for you – then fine. You have the ability to not read about it or turn the TV off. I am sure that there will be plenty of re-runs of soaps on the digital channels.

i dread the opening ceremony. i have a horrible feeling they will wheel out all the old favourites, pearly kings and queens, the cast of eastenders, george and the dragon (yeah i know), the old bloke in the union jack suit, lots of children in suits and bowler hats, anne hathaways cottage. Oh the shame.

I thought Boris was funny yesterday doing his speech though ‘THE STADIUMS ARE READY! WE COULD DO A SNAP OLYMPICS TOMORROW’.

He seemed really excited about it and I liked his enthusiasm.

I think the medals look good (bar the Lisa Simpson giving a BJ logo)

The logo is shite
The cost is outrageous
There is no meanigful legacy
Its a huge vanity project

So the media are going to whinge about it constantly? That’ll be lovely 🙂

I’m hugging myself with excitement, managed to get some athletics tickets, kids cant wait. Whole city is going to be jumping. It’s jumping already to be honest.

Just remember the rest of the UK is paying for it and getting no benefit. Don’t expect us to be happy

The logo is shite

How would you know? You don’t understand the code.

But seriously – all this negativity is shite – we are hosting THE OLYMPICS for Jeebus’s sake! It is something the nation should be proud of yet all we get is nit-picking about detail. So what if some elements don’t meet with individual approval, it is arguably the biggest sporting event in the world and we are hosting it FFS. Let’s be proud of what we are doing.

moan moan moan moan.
