A Miss Anna Burnet. Pity it was "Team GB" but I'm sure days for "Team Scotland" will come! I'm one of those people who finds the Olympics to be a permanent annoyance because despite my giving not even a shit about it, it seems to infest innocent escapism like Pointless and also pub quizzes with some vehemence despite me never meeting very many people who are remotely interested in it. Nothing worse than watching the Pointless final round when the couple opt to go for the fucking Olympics instead of the European capital cities that you were baying to answer! Cunts. I’m so glad I know of other Scottish people so I know you’re not all a bunch of miserable moaning bastards. Quote
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted August 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 4, 2021 Chap, I'm led to believe this board has an ignore function you can use on my posts so you no longer have to read them and we can avoid cluttering up the board with tediously banal digs every time I make a post and you pounce on it. I suggest you use it. Quote

Cunts Look we're all gutted when they choose "20th Century novels by Irish writers" over "Champions League Squads of the 90s" but not liking the Olympics because it ruins Pointless is really funny Apply yourself! I do every year and will one day make it. (EDIT: Pointless that is, not the Olympics, until they can make being depressed and not leaving a bed for 48 hours and eating yoghurts and bourbons an actual sport) Back on thread, going into an actual office has meant I have missed the last 2 days but that Adam Gemili interview was heartbreaking. Fair play that he held it that together for it. Edited August 4, 2021 by SuperBacon Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 4, 2021 Just caught the woman's Skateboard final. Fair play to Sky Brown, From fracturing her skull to getting a bronze medal in a year at 13 years old is a hell of an achievement! Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 4, 2021 The skateboarding was great. I watched with my 7yo who just bought herself a skateboard on Monday. Those Japanese girls were incredible. The best one finished fourth if we're all honest but hey, if you fall off, it's tough. The end with the Japanese girl in tears because she'd blown it and the GB girl in tears because she'd got the bronze was a tough watch at 7am. Think I had something in my eye. Quote

Wonderful to see. There is a real collective between the skateboarding competitors I've noticed. Fantastic attitude amongst them. Quote

They actually seem to be flying up, completely defying gravity. Were you watching it live? Are they doing it at 2am? As that sounds incredible to be honest. Quote
MVP RULZ Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 The Mens Finals are on at 9.30am tomorrow and Womens Friday at the same time. The speed Climbing is good fun, i Found the Bouldering and Lead parts a little hard to get into, especially the Bouldering portion but I wasnt fully up to speed of what on earth they were doing, something about reaching certain parts from what I could gather. The Lead part is a mix of both Bouldering and Speed climbing but without the speed part Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted August 4, 2021 Team GB should've wheeled out Lightning from Gladiators for the speed climbing, she was boss at The Wall. Quote
Moderators neil Posted August 5, 2021 Moderators Posted August 5, 2021 I really haven't watched any of the Olympics but stumbled onto the live showing of wrestling last night. Was a lot more fun than I was expecting to be honest, maybe its because of being more interested in grappling/MMA, but previously I'd always found wrestling to be dull as shit. Quote
