How would we do it?

joe316

Well since the day that's in it and considering we could have hosted it 4 times over with the money thrown into Anglo, how would we host the Olympics?

- Would the stadiums be built by now?
- Would there be strikes by all workers holding the government to ransom?
- Who would light the torch? Could we trust Sonia not to get a dose of the Leon's again?
- What would the opening ceremony consist of?

Jeez, why couldn't you just have posted in the correct thread?

Ireland should never be allowed to host anything again until Jedward have retired/died/grown up. Whichever comes first. They seem to be our first port of call for every event. I don't begrudge them their success, but there is a time and a place for an act like that and that time and place is a 6 year old's party at 3pm on a saturday afternoon.

the torch would be in the shape of a guinness glass and the stadium would be in the shape of a guinness glass. our olympic logo of course would be in the shape of a guinness glass.

But of course, no Guiness would be allowed at the events as we are trying to move away from the image that were a bunch of drunks :pac:

Well the host city would be Ballina of course, nothing to do with Inda being a Mayoman:D
The opening ceremony would feature the Artane Boys and Girls Band, Westlife, and Crystal Swing.
And the flame would have to be lit by Gay Byrne:D:D:D

- Taking a High Moral Jump

- Swimming up Sh*t Creek

- Fencing Stolen Goods

etc

- Would the stadiums be built by now?
No. The famed Irish work system of 1 man digging, 11 men leaning, would see to that.
- Would there be strikes by all workers holding the government to ransom?
I would bet my entire bank balance (not zero) on Taxi drivers blocking the city
- Who would light the torch? Could we trust Sonia not to get a dose of the Leon's again?
For the love of god not jedward. I wouldn't mind Higgins doing it, but it'll look silly him doing it from a stepladder.
- What would the opening ceremony consist of?
Guiness ads, short videos of knackers pushing prams, nature vids
