Good it'll do you good, don't waste it on here all day though:thumbup: |

Re: The Olympics
Just been watching the news and there was a report of Romanian pickpockets heading for London for the olympics. The reporter was talking to three Romanian lads who were bragging about how easy it is to pick someones pocket/bag. The interview took place in Barcelona where the three lads are plying their trade and doing very well they say. They actually showed how it is done, one of them distracting the unsuspecting tourist while another comes over and puts his arm around him in an over friendly manner, the third picks his pocket/bag and off they go to blend in with the crowd.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18798792 This kind of thing always happens at major events like this. I actually have full confidence that the police will be aware of what's going to happen, and will head off most of the scum. Ideally they'll be locked up for a long time, to send a message to others, but no doubt they'll just be deported so they can come back again later under a different id.. :thumbdown: |
Re: The Olympics
End of the day, Britain has a lot of experience in running big sporting and music events. I wish we hadn't won the right to host this, but given that we have, I'm still positive we'll show a good image to the world.

Re: The Olympics
Here's the knocking article by Der Spiegel http://www.spiegel.de/international/...-a-844599.html Disappointed by that - Der Spiegel used to have a good reputation. Obviously taken on a journalist similar to some here, who can only see bad in another country.
