tonyh29 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 As for schools being given free tickets, I’d love to know what schools. I heard them say on 5 live that they had given 40,000 tickets away but I thought they were referring to Hampden park at that point For those that don’t know the geography of the City i'm in town on Weds for the GB game ... have you got the geography on some decent pubs ? :-) Tony, The two obvious venues are The Cross and Minski's. Just in case I've read it wrong and your not a transvestite, there's also the Old Arcade and The City Arms. Both a couple of minutes from the stadium. Both serve Brains Black and SA. Both will offer an excellent passers by viewing opportunity if you sit outside. But there are shed loads. I'm probs in Kent on Wednesday or I'd have offered to buy a pint. Cheers for the info If anything changes and you are in the area then I'd be delighted to share a pint (or two) with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2012 Tony won't drink Brains, he's a bit of a larger top man, you can take him to any old pub and he won't care, he'll in all likelihood just analyse the crisp flavours ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I was listening on the radio this morning to one spokesperson saying they have got this wrong and will be rolling back the policy to clamp down on small business and focusing on gorilla campaigns from the other big corporations. Would be a step in the right direction if true. Not really those GUERRILLA marketing campaigns employ people and unless they involve some illegal activity should be left entirely alone. Just because one corporation decides to sponsor the games, doesn't mean other non sponsorship companies cannot use any means at their disposal to legally advertise their products. Unless I missed it, there wasn't a special law passed in parliament outlawing any rival company to the official sponsors from marketing their own products. Presumably they would use existing copyright laws. The Olympics couldn't happen without sponsors cash and those companies wouldn't stump up if they thought they could just tag on to the bandwagon for free. There is a need to protect sponsors from rivals who haven't paid up. Small local businesses who are not rivals however should be encouraged to get in the spirit and help build the hype etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Anyone know what macca will be singing tomorrow night? The gf wants a £20 bet that it'll be drive my car, hey Jude or live and let die "cos they're the only 3 songs he ever bloody sings" I saw a preview of the warm up and they were dancing to come together but I think that's a Lennon song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Think he'll start with "Band on The Run" & finish with "hey Jude" with a Beatles medley in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2012 I **** hate "Hey Jude" Looking forward to the opening ceremony, but I really hope it's not that song. Most overrated song ever, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm going to try to watch the opening ceremony, but given the cack 'artists' I expect to see play, I doubt I will make it to the end. In fact, once 'Thumb Aloft' Mcartney comes on, my TV (or at least the sound) will go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 How much of the opening ceremony is taken up by the competitors walking the track (each one with a video camera in their hand no doubt)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the jubilee concert but he doesn't seem to have much luck at the showcase events does he .. didn't his mic fail at Live Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If mccartney's mic failed I'd say that would be quite lucky. He really can't sing any more can he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
