    Come on now, we all know that Jedward would be the centrepiece of any Irish opening ceremony.

    They are a boy band who play at GAA matches in Croke Park, and they dress in Thunderbird-esque style uniforms.

    Just wondering. Could you ever see this happening?Or is Ireland too much of a small player politically for this ever to be realistic? I mean it is a large, modern, metropolitan city and as the Irish are famous for their warm hospitality. I think it would be deadly and the craic would be mighty.

    You barsteward, ya just made me choke on mi cup of tea and ruined mi keyboard after reading yr post

    They could likely invent a new sport for it, catch the scumbag who stole your bag(s).

    Also, we could kill two birds with one stone, have the shooting competition down on the boardwalk on the Liffey, competitors should get bonus points if they cripple targets before finishing them off.

    To do my part in this bid, I put forward my house to host the ladies beach volleyball. Especially Brazil v Sweden.

    Well first things first you'd need to tackle the skanger/skobie problem. I'd suggest having a free concert in Tallaght with Swedish House Mafia, Aslan and a Bob Marley tribute band. Offer free Dutch Gold and "yokes" to all attendees. Then when everything is "Bleedin Deadly" we napalm the sh*t out of the venue. Even is this doesn't get us the Olympics it's still a step in the right direction.
