Title: Olympic torch
Post by: phil her up on 06 April 2008, 12:07:49

I don't think we should send our sports men & women to China, so watching the torch paraded through London is a bit annoying especially Tim Henman waving it about, pity someone in the crowd dosen't grab it & shove it up his sorry **** oops a bit political

I just wish they would ban the Olympics. Not just China, but London as well.

That view aside, as they are going ahead, why should any country boycott? What has sport got to do with politics for your average Mr Joe Public?

.....used to be my ex-boyfriend`s nickname:

He never went out either!  ::)

 but the blokes whom used to work for him called him the "Balloon Man", as he frequently said: "Don`t let me down lads!" ;D

Interestingly, I'm off to Shanghai on Saturday (my company operates in China). Went to get a Visa last Thursday at Embassy in London, I fully expected there to be protesters outside but all was quiet however I had to queue in 4 separate queues for a total of 4 hours.
They do not make it easy to get into their country & it's not cheap, but even more expensive if you hold a  U.S. Passport.
