The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad Pub, London

First topic message reminder :

The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Games of the XXX Olympiad Pub, a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

This week the pub has set up in the host city London, where we can watch the greatest athletes from all four corners of the globe compete in a multitude of Sports under the one thousand flame Olympic torch... each wearing the 5 coloured Olympic rings of blue, white (or black), red, yellow and green.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius" (faster, higher, stronger) has been the motto for the modern Olympic Games since their beginning in 1896.
(but not too high obviously!)

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Marcus Aurelius, Henri Didon, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Sir Steve Redgrave, Cameron Van De Burgh, Marianne Vos, Murray Rose, Jesse Owens, Emil Zátopek,
Zara Phillips and her fabulous horse "Toytown" and last but not least.... Boris Johnson playing whiff-whaff against Danny Boyle.

We have cider not cidre.

Well that's no good. I want cidre!

Pair Cidre?

No, just regular pomme.

Does that come out of an Englishman?

If it does, I don't want any any more!

It's just that I prefer my cider to come from apples not humans, Hound.

Jessica Ennis, you beautiful girl!

Well she was always likely to take it after her stunning performances yerterday and today. Thankfully she didn't fall into a black hole in the final event. Well done Jess and well done GB. Great stuff.

I was worried for a second that she'd get tripped on the final bend. But she did it. Yorkshire's finest! (Apart from Swanny, of course!)

Ennis is up there with Thompson and Christie as one of the World's best athletes.

Congrats to GB, Jessica Ennis is not only a deserved winner, but she is as cute as hell.

...hadn't noticed...

Biltong we agree on that for sure, stunner of a lass and a stunning performance over the 2 days. Great stuff from GB today. Getting jealous of you lot.

What, Wales and our 0.75 of a gold medal.

And she's so natural and down to earth, too. What's not to like?

Just having a laff lucky.


The UK's champion cider maker (as voted for by CAMRA) is from Wales. Gwynt y Ddraig, up the road from Penfro Towers.

Just had two bottles from a grateful client. It is lush fair play. Orchard Gold in a warm day biwtifwl.

That bottle of cider you gave me was strong stuff, Hound. It's a good job it was just the one bottle!

I really do like this Stella Artois cidre. Deliciously potable.

Taffy apples is a good sesh cider. Because I'm tight I like the fact that I'm smashed after two bottles.

I'm smashed after two bottles of anything.

Wow wow wow all round!

Jess, Phelps, Murray and the ginger long jumper

Keep her lit Mo!

Do you reckon they're watching this at Chef's?

Murray and the footballers are the only ones I'm going against. Murray as I want Fed to complete his career (if he odesn't not a big deal) footballers as I hate Irish fans supporting the English club sides!


Still though, amazing day and outstanding stuff. Think I'm running out of words to talk about Team GB really, what more can you say like? Except toss us one please.

I pity anyone not watching this.

My Sis, Niece and Nephew are at the stadium today. Lucky fiecers .

Thomond, I haven't been paying attention to the football. I never have in the past and I'm not going to pretend I care just because there's a 'GB' team this time. I'm glad it's not getting any more media attention than it deserves.

A few Medals coming in the boxing hopefully Thom

Mo Farah? Watching team GB will switch over for the last few laps. Ienjoy the football Lucky, men's and women's not as much pressure on players so produces some spectacular play, always helps you discover one or two more players who are talented that you don't know about.

How did they wangle that, Rodders?

It's the hope that kills you Roddersm like our sailing lass, just thinking it will end in tears.

I can appreciate that, Thomond. Normally I love football, but to me it's just not a sport I associate with the Olympics.

Mo looking good for a medal here.....

Fiver on silver. Gold would be some achievement.

They did that lottery thing I think. They got today and some other event not sure what.

Gwan Mo sir.

Aye its been disappointing so far but I've faith in the boxers. I think they'll get 3 medals, hopefully one gold.

Wow!

That was awesome! Gold for Mo!

He's done it!

Bang!

Farah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fawcett was a decent actress.




Another Farah by the name of Mo won gold too, but that's not too important. Fnatastic finish, didn't look like he had the kick but he did it, well done that lad. Well done GB!

Lovely scenes there.

Your rellies are lucky f*uckers indeed, Rodders!

Mo, Mo Mo how do you like it, how do you like it.

Luckless Pedestrian wrote:Your rellies are lucky f*uckers indeed, Rodders!

Yeah delighted for them. They all love their athletics. My niece and nephew (who are English ) will be loving this.

I think everyone loved that finish, amazing stuff and great day in athletics for team GB. Nothing wrong with them being English, we all have relatives we're ashamed of

Spoiler:

Get your hands off her you pervert!

Look Glas, how I express my love for my dog is my business!
