OutByEaster? Posted July 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 There's talk of the bull finding an indoor home in Thinktank. I think that would be a great solution - Thinktank needs a bit of a boost and it would mean the bull gets to stick around and be next the HS2 hub in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the prefect place really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think-tank is so tired now... so many out of date exhibits from the 80s in there. The bull would really work well there and hopefully attract some people in that direction.

Was he on the sidelines pointing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Reckon these young lads on the bars are any good at an old skool chin up, I'm feeling I might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Loved the mens all round individual gymnastics this morning, England with a Gold and Silver and Cyprus getting a deserved bronze. Both English gymnasts spoke really well after the medal ceremony. great to watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted July 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 Another crash in the velodrome apparently. One cyclist went over the barrier into the crowd.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted July 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Just seen a still of it and it looks like the cyclist got a wheel hooked over each side the barrier for a stretch before flipping over it. Unfortunately looks like a lot of children were sitting at the front at that location. Hope they're all ok.

Stevo985 Posted August 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2022 Went to see the triathlon relay yesterday. Absolutely brilliant fun.

The Fun Factory Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The free style swimming event always amuses me. You can swim any style you want but everyone does front crawl as it is the quickest method- so why don't just they call it the front crawl event? I mean you could do backstroke and come last if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boldmere High Street was fantastic, such a great atmosphere and really nice weather too! I was in the park for the running. At first I was annoyed because the part of the route I'd scoped out was apparently ticketed and they sent us on this massive walk up the hill and round the corner to the final stretch of the run. But actually it was worth it because it was basically the final sprint down the hill to the finish so the atmosphere was excellent. Really enjoyed it The format really suited it too. It was like 16/17 minutes for each athlete so you were never stood around for too long. Especially after the first leg where the field got string out. By the time the athlete in last went past, the english in first weren't far behind Edited August 1, 2022 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bull is fully waterproof, then outside Thinktank would be better rather than hidden away. It needs to be in an open square somewhere that people can gather around or just walk by. A bit of a tourist attraction for locals and others from further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Bull could be good in the entrance/lobby of the HS2 station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
