dytkos 18,002 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 As above from last night's closing ceremony. Do you agree with what he said or is it all tub thumping jingoism? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 51,331 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Absolutely agree with ol Seb, I think we have shown not only the world but our own folk that we still punch well above our weight for a tiny country. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 18,002 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't disagree with the sentiments but he is a politician and is used to saying what people want to hear. Will the 2012 Olympics really do for Britain what is being toted almost as a new dawn? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robbo 879 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 cant really see it altering that much. poor kids/people with no prospects will still be in the same position as they were. lazy good for nothings will still be lazy,you cant make somebody want to do something.just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeakOil 352 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 You mean Seb Coe proud to shoot pistols? Those who remember 1996 might recall what a spineless coward and public image obsessed whore he really is. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I liked what he says, will it solve our problems no! However, maybe just maybe it will influence some young kids, and give them an incentive and go do diverging with thier life's.. As for the whole nation like I said earlier , f**k all wrong with stirring some pride in our nation again. Let's save it up until now, there hasnt been much to be proud of. From what I seen everyone interviewed or caught on camera had a smile on thier faces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Seb Coe. It should be SEB CO he will rake in a fortune as he owns a share in all most all of the franchise , do you really think without. Him the games would have not taken place , these game are the culmination. Of many many people that Coe is the face of. The whole armature. Sporting fraternity. Through. Out the British isles. For the last hundred years. Have evolved without GOVERMENT backing. The so called rich kid sport now open to all like the. Somalion Immergrant. Who came here as a kid and changed his life because he wanted too are youth need to want to all the money in the world wont make them if they don't want it Getting up at five in the morning plodding the road aint for all swimming 7 days. A week thousands of lengths a week ain't. For all Having the facility's. To carry out the traing is the most important thing GOVERMENT after GOVERMENT. Has sold off land sports fields etc. the only winners are tesco and property devolpers. Give Steve redgrave a river and boat he will produce , give cram a running track he will produce , are boxers train in a mishmash of old church halls schools and above pubs etc relying on the local community's. To keep them going know one more than me enjoyed this Olympics. But all salivating over Coe. No tar. Thank every man and women who turn up wind rain or shine to coach , make tea , raise money for every armature club. Not just coe a wealthy man who is going to make a packet out of it. Proud to be BRITSH ALLWAYS HAVE BEEN JUST A BIT MORE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS Edited August 13, 2012 by gonetoearth 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 51,331 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree the facilities should be there but I certainly don't agree with all the " government should do something" mentality.....there is plenty of stuff for kids to do if the parents look hard enough......just because a bloke like football or rugby don't mean his boy or girl have to do it too, they may want to swim, or dance or trampoline or judo or gymnastics or boxing etc etc etc There loads of parents out there whose kids do something nearly every day of the week, it takes time and sometimes money but it's well worth the effort.......it's all out there, just a tap on the pc screen away. If you look hard and make the effort then you can have kids doing something 2-3 hours a day, every day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Tell you what wilf, Internet has its benefits aswell lol Was getting told the other day, done of those kids ate making 50 to 100 grand a year on jewtube. For making daft videos. Think the tip earner is just shy of a million dollars a year. Talking about British achievement turn over to ch4 for another achievement.
