The Ochlympics: Glasgow 2014

[Lord Camomile]

There is a message in it from the Queen, apparently. It'll be her speech no doubt.

"The whole referendum is a massive con. You'll never get rid of meeeeee!"

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's just occurred to me, why the fuck is that baton doing the rounds? "Hey, we're just like the Olympics, look!" - because that comparison is going to go well for you...

Maybe we can blame the Welsh?

The Relay was introduced at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales. Up until, and including, the 1994 Games, the Relay only went through England and the host nation. The Relay for the 1998 Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was the first to travel to other nations of the Commonwealth. The 2002 Commonwealth Games Relay covered over 100,000 kilometres and went through 23 nations.[1]

I see, I'm guessing I have to be a parent or really young to know who they are

I'm not sure they're on anymore or not - but if you watched CBeebies 10 years ago you'd know them!

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's always important to try, at least.

shortbread, I think you'll find.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"We've come back to claim that which is rightfully ours! The stadium is surrounded and Andy Murray is already taking elocution lessons in an underground bunker in the Tower of London!"

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Although I'm currently hiding behind my furrin passport.

Traitor!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

shortbread, I think you'll find.

I apologise

Shit, now I want some shortbread

 

[steveo87]

Instead of saying 'Come on in...' I do wish they'd say 'Gibralter - COME ON DOWN!!'

How on earth has the Isle of Man mustered 45 competitors?

Bikes are fucked.

It's a clear night so I can nearly see the Isle of Man from where I live.
All the lights are out.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The Welsh lads just need to shave their heads and put some braces on
