Up early so I suppose will take a few moment out to view a portion of the advertised ladened opening ceremony.


So don't forget to watch all the ads very very closely so you can buy their products and services during and after.

Listen very closely to the sports announcers making dumbed downed comments.

Second thoughts, I think I will go back to my original plan and check out a few garage sales and watch it when it comes out on VHS.

I saw a bit of it - it was no where near as good as in the
opening ceremony in China.

It looked 2nd rate & very amateurish - almost cringe worthy.

The Olympic Games have just started and what do you mongs do? Whine and whinge and complain and trying to be too smacking clever by half. What a sad lot you are. Entirely not coincidentally, all lefty proggy numpties. No holiday from acting like pr!cks for you, eh?

Celebrate when we say so, work the rest of the time.

Eddie McGuire once got gold for getting phuked the longest by a horse.

These leftards are killjoys, old boy. They won't allow us to have good, clean fun celebrating the marvellous demonstration of spurting, well-oiled manhood that is the modern Olympic Games.

Wipe the door down when you leave, old chap. Wipe your chin too - there's a spot just there.

Austerity At The Olympics: Each “Gold” Medal Contains 1.34% Gold

Zero Hedge
July 29, 2012
As every Olympic athlete knows, size matters. The London 2012 medals are the largest ever in terms of both weight and diameter – almost double the medals from Beijing. However, just as equally well-known is that quality beats quantity and that is where the current global austerity, coin-clipping, devaluation-fest begins. The 2012 gold is 92.5 percent silver, 6.16 copper and… 1.34 percent gold, with IOC rules specifying that it must contain 550 grams of high-quality silver and a whopping 6 grams of gold. The resulting medallion is worth about $500. For the silver medal, the gold is replaced with more copper, for a $260 bill of materials. The bronze medal is 97 percent copper, 2.5 percent zinc and 0.5 percent tin. Valued at about $3, you might be able to trade one for a bag of chips in Olympic park if you skip the fish.



Size Matters…(via BBC)



Though Olympic gold is no longer 100 percent gold, a medal can still fetch big money. In 2010, a gold medal worn by Mark Wells, a member of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” U.S. men’s hockey team, was auctioned off for $310,700. Several years before that, Wells had sold his medal to cover medical expenses. Just before the auction, the medal was valued at $100,000 but it earned three times that amount. Heritage Auctions of Dallas identified the 2010 buyer as a rancher from the western U.S.
The question remains – with the minimum 103 medals expected to be won by US athletes, will Bernanke be forced to reduce the size of NEW QE as ‘all that precious metal is horded and repatriated back to the USA’?
