The 2012 Olympics

Bedlam Humour 

Ed Goldstraw from Leek has sent in another joke

It's 2012 and it's the Olympics in London.

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman want to get in, but they haven't got tickets.

The Scotsman picks up a manhole cover, tucks it under his arm and walks to the gate.

"McTavish, Scotland" he says, "Discus" and in he walks.

The Englishman picks up a length of scaffolding and slings it over his shoulder. "Waddington-Smythe, England" he says, "Pole vault" and in he walks.

The Irishman looks around and picks up a roll of barbed wire and tucks it under his arm.

"O'Malley, Ireland" he says, "Fencing." 

Thanks, Ed. - A good 'un.

Boris Johnson's Olympic Gaff

So the great Chinese Show comes to an end.

Britain's Boris Johnson now hangs on tightly to the Olympic flag. Yet, good old Boris has done it again. Our heads of state and politicians seem to have the unique ability of putting their feet firmly where their tonsils should be.

When Boris Johnson speaks, there should be a 30 second delay to allow time for the geeks to stop his blunders being transmitted. He received the flag, said his stuff, but it sort of came out ‘fluffed’. Boris is likeable, loveable yet oh so bumbly.

His bumble this time? At the end of the Olympic ceremony, live, in front of millions of TV viewers, he said in his undeniably enthusiastic way that the people of China should watch out, “Ping Pong is coming home.”

Mr. Brown showed he was less than enthusiastic about the remarks, by thanking Boris for his efforts on furthering Chinese - British relationships.

Boris reminds me of the archetypal English eccentric, mouth engaged before brain. I’ve no doubt he’s a very clever chap, in fact I think he probably has a very high IQ, quite an intellect really – except he seems to keep it hidden.

I have to admit I quite like Boris – but he does have a habit of saying things, which are better left unsaid.

John Ray arrested in China

So when China says it will allow free press, what it means is, free as long as you don't film or report anything they don't want you to.

The Law Mongers of China, arrested British TV reporter, John Ray and physically man-handled him after he tried reporting a Free-Tibet protest.

He was bundled into a van and whipped away. His shoes and kit-bag were taken from him as if he were a common criminal. His crime. To show the attrocities that China wants to keep secret.

What is it all about? Freedom? There's no such thing in China.

As we all expected, the Olympic are turning into a farce. All they ever wanted was a slice of publicity for their guilt ridden state.

There is NO free reporting. No freedom of speech. No freedom of movement. All they want is a picture of tranquility to be displayed to the world - - and if it isn't, clamp down like a ton of shit.
