The olympics are coming!!

So, use this forum to discuss all things olympics related.

woohoo go the olympics! I hope the smog doesn't kill them

yeah!

So when do they start?

I think August the 8th. 08/08/08 is supposedly really lucky in their culture

It is August 8th.

they really believe in the "don't worry about it"

Scotland isn't in the Olympics so I'll be watching as a happy nuetral.

Didn't they say that the pollution levels were still far too high for it to take place?

I doubt it, the amount of money spent on it they aren't going to cancel it now.

Still, wish our PM had the guts to officially opose the olympics due to the whole human rights thing. If Australia are more socially conscious than us we have a problem.

they are going to be too high come olympic time. You just can't magically turn off pollution!

You can put up with polution though, in this money orientated world however you cannot cancel the Olympics.

lmao they're trying though aren't they. They're going to do the whole odds and evens license plate bit, and stop factories working and pray the wind blows the right way

Yeah number 8 is really lucky for them.

According to some bank advert I saw on TV
