I have got relation been forced into this too from armed forces all he was looking forward too was quality time with girlfriend now been cancelled. Would not be shocked they lost it forever too knowing the way things go.
Try and dabble in the shallows of reality occasionally, please, whilst you are running along the shores of fantasy - if their leave is cancelled, it is not lost.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion

I don't care about the actual Olympics, but I think that the opening ceremony was excellent (well, apart from the obligatory A-Z of countries bit at the end).


Oh, and from Twitter...

To say that he has come in for some criticism online for his Tweets would be an understatement!



If anyone finds his name familiar, it may be because of this story from last year...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion

Really nice touch: the cauldron being lit by seven hopefuls rather than one famous 'has been'. Brilliant music as well (are U2 now British?). Eclipse lyrics on the actual lighting. Risky, but brilliant.

I'm not sure if Muhammed Ali should have been there though. That bit was painful to watch.

What was wrong with Paul McCartney though. He wasn't quite out of sync, but it sounded like he was performing in gale force winds?
