Off Topic Just a little gripe

Been watching some of the Olympics, and a commentator said we are watching history here. Well everything that happens anywhere in the world will become history.

 

True. Just that somethings become notable history and others fade with memory.

 

Well at least he didn't say "now is not the time for soundbites, but I feel the hand of history on my shoulder". Only a complete arse would say that.

 

History doesn't mean everything in the past. Like, prehistoric is a word.

Olympics go into the books, while your next **** probably won't.

 

Here's my Olympic gripe, when I've been watching the football highlights next day, each goal is highlighted by a flashing graphic at the point hitting the ball, it's like when Batman &Robin used to fight baddies, each punch had a 'kapowwwww!!' graphic to accompany it, these are little flashing stars etc when the shot is kicked. Does my ****ing head in.

 

We saw history at the SOL last night during the final few minutes.

 

I was watching the womens triathlon the other night, and the commentator said the conditions were wet.....
They were swimming ffs.

 

I saw the whole of the moon ...

 

Stephen Fry might be able to help...

 

The two “stocky” lads stood motionless shooting clay pigeons were described by the commentator as “ these athletes”

 

The olympics are a ****ing joke. Golf is ridiculously somehow considered a sport worth of "Olympians". Nowt against the game. It's just about as far from an Olympic Sport as there is.

Not to mention the two types of volleyball they hand out medals for.

 

I'm sure this potential award winning thread could have just been a comment on the dedicated Olympics thread we have on this board.

 

Anything that's more of a passtime than a sport should be binned tbh.
