I note that many of the uniforms this year have a holiday camp look about them, blazers and white trousers/skirts. London Olympics is going to have a rather Hi-de-Hi! feel about it.

The Ralph Lauren stuff for the US team was really expensive and made in China from what I hear. If that's true...

Ralph Lauren. What an asshole.

Yeh.. "Hello campers.." with a South Wales accent, and every PA announcement preceded with three chime bars. LOL.

Strange I really like Jamaica's. So much so that it actually works outside of the Olympics kind of. That skirt all I need.

The Team GB outfit for the opening ceremony hasn't been released yet so the picture is fake. The rumour is that the jackets are gold - no presumptions there then. Also they're made by Next which basically means they'll be really bad fabric and poor fitting.

The athletes have to queue up at 4am outside a next store in the Trafford center to pick them up - a la Next sales.

You have a great football team..

Who cares about athletics in most countries?

I like watching it and I do not find anybody at work to talk about it in normal times..

At my office, they're asking me "Are you going to London to see the Olympics, Michael?" ....NO, I can watch it just as well on China Central TV.
