Here re the medal predictions.
So just 3 days to go. Anyone else watching?
Really looking forward to this as per normal!
I’m going to get into the Olympic spirit by taking as many drugs as possible.

I have already done this for the Tour de France… It is overrated.
The olympics is a pile of shit.
At least there is no GB football team
This thread must hold the forum record for the most copyright infringements! 
Unless Pap has quietly become a sponsorship or media partner, we can only talk about the big upcoming sporting event without breaking the publication rules of…the big upcoming sporting event, by not being too specific about location or date_._
These are some of the words that cannot be used during the big upcoming sporting event, a personal sponsor using these words to wish an athlete luck, could get them disqualified.
- 2016
- Rio/Rio de Janeiro
- Gold
- Silver
- Bronze
- Medal
- Effort
- Performance
- Challenge
- Summer
- Games
- Sponsors
- Victory
- Olympia
But as long as we don’t publish the official logo, or mock it, we’ll be fine - and we will be fine, It’ll be Pap and Bletch in prison.

Okey Dokey…here we go then…let’s see if this works… 
What a shitty looking logo…
Pap is now being mahandled into a van.
Not by the police, he just likes to go to dogging club on a Wednesday.

Massive protests following the Olympic Torch
This opening ceremony is something else though.
Bits of it like stuff you’d only consider possible in CGI or acomputer game. Amazing.
Out of this world fella!
Eww. Not sure how I feel about them mixing real footage with CGI as they did for the plane flight.

Ha ha ha, was just about to say… That ruined it slightly and now, catwalk and dancers… Might be it for me!
The floor does look like a giant game of Cystal Castles from the Atari 2600 is about to breakout though!
Or Pong!
Jeez, the road race has turned into a crashy finish.
Last 8KM if you want to tune in on BBC 1
The cycling was a bit of a damp squib and that descent looked as forgiving as the TT course.
You had to feel for the guy who inherited the lead but didn’t have enough energy to hold it.
Watching opening ceremony on catch up after a day of updates on the Archery via FB from Mrs D_P (her fiteh pal is 42nd or something in the qualifiers)
And to my complete amazement just spotted a fitehs carrying a flag who (famously) snogged me in Public - Carolina carrying the Danish flag no less so it was 1-0 to me then the Poles won Bronze in the fall over & crash race (which wasn’t on TV here)
Meanwhile controlled explosion at bike finish, bullet through the media tent at Equestrian and a robber shot at Maracas last night
Our women’s 7s team has done okay today - there are a couple of right beasts who have been roughing up Japan and Brazil.
Big game against Canada tomorrow…
When I get time I’ll work on some complex joke about tackle, hand-offs and it not being the first time that one or two of them have stuck their fists in Brazilians…leave it with me.
