They've done it again!

 

 

This time when issuing an apology, they had to correct the apology after not calling them "Democratic People’s Republic of Korea".

 

 

Everything they take part in they win, they go home to a big winners parade..it shows the people how superior their country is to the rest of the world..I kid you not....

Can I just point out, you don't know that it was a Scot that did it.... maybe the 'organisers' (and I use the term loosely) were from London.   After all, it's not Britain's olympics... it's #London2012     We're just kindly letting you use our facilities for a kick about.

phnar!!!!!

Nice work, Columbo! ! 

 well done Kaffy 

hahah... i was just browsing t'internet while I had lunch.... It was like a gift from the gods  

Why is it that there is a real national divide in this forum? I have seen it a lot of times over the years

 

 I am first and foremost British, English by birth cos my parents happened to settle in London and I was born there..., they could just as easily have settled in Scotland where my Father was first sent  after the war. .

 

I really hate this divide stuff. . makes me feel uncomfortable.. and sometimes I kinda feel like saying to those that want to be independent to feck off and do so cos I am fed up of the moaning [not on here it's just it's  everywhere]  I am happy to be British but not with people who aren't

 

* am in a bad mood cos of the heat so ignore my rant I just wanted to get it out cos it's something that pee's me off a lot and I needed to vent *

 

hahaha - chill out Olly.    I think Vids was winding us up.   I consider myself British too as it goes... but I don't mind a bit of friendly rivalry... and this was too good an opportunity to miss.. 

BTW - it's cold up here.... that bloomin' north/south divide again.  

I did say I was in a bad mood cos of being hot and sticky. .

 

plus I wanted to say something about all this  independence/rivalry stuff for ages cos it gets on my norks a lot. .

 

ideal opportunity to vent I thought

They probably took Ashleighs word for it and had a blind fella doing the flags...

.. in the daylight obviously.

see... that's typical of you lot south of the border.. keeping all the hot and sticky for yourselves.    We dream of being hot and sticky up here   

Well, it now appears that the 'wrong flag video' was a package sent from London. So it would seem that 'you in London' HAVE messed it up!

 

Is there? I don't see it. We poke a bit of fun at each other at times, but I see no real divide.

Yeah, cos if they'd done it at night it would have been spot on.

I think the opening salvo was from the independent state of London Olly!  

The posts as far as I can see are ,like kaffy says, friendly wind ups about an arsed-up video  rather than about the break up of the UK . Quality rant though! 

I wasn't referring to this thread in particular but will say I have noticed stuff in the past...maybe it's private joking stuff, I dunno . . doesn't always feel like it.. 

 

and thanks Slinki..  I felt very ranty at the time so glad it came out well

 

I'm still hot and sticky and have a wind headache from my fan blowing in my eye and ear..  

 

on the plus side I've just had a couple of glasses of pino with my neighbour ..so am chilled a tad ..but not much

it may seem like fun to you a lot of the time but for me it hasn't always done ..same with the Labour peeps at election time. .. gets quite brutal unless that is poking fun stuff too.. 

It's banter Olly.

 

Instigated from London via White Hart Lane 

owww, a wind headache ! Hope it goes soon .

 

Actually contemplating putting the heating on here ! 

Just been watching the BBC waiting for the football... they cut to Hyde Park for Boris and his "speech".

 

 

“Team GB are going to bring more gold, silver, bronze medals than you’d need to bail out Greece and Spain together.”

I'm sure that'll go down well...

How that guy got in I'll never know.

Noooo!! Is that a wind up ? Did he really say that ?

 

It's like the  Carry On Olympics! 

Indeed he did... live on tv.

jeez! ! it's all a bit surreal ! 

This is dreadful. I could understand them doing Mexican waves in the less fashionable end of the continent but not Manchester. My younger readers may like to know that N. Korea played all their 1966 cup games in the 'Boro. We supported them all the way through and a few years ago the team survivors came back and we made a great fuss of them.

I just love @Queen_UK:

 

North Korea on the phone. Still a bit upset about the whole flag problem. Might send Seb Coe over there to explain. Two birds and one stone.

 

They really messed up at the toon tonight.

Meh! Paltry anyway Joe 

 

Just wait till we get down to the proper stuff on that ground 

Indeed.

Vive la difference I say. I really like it that there is a good mix of FM's throughout Britain and the UK on here. I've never really noticed it getting nasty but perhaps I'm not very observant.
