The question is pretty obvious!

Not withstanding any other factors, what games/sports would you like to see included in the 2012 olympics?

Catching the Javelin. :thumbsup:

snakes and ladders, twister or limbo dancing!

Heading the shot! ;)

I did read that golf is to be an Olympic sport soon. Since golf is not really a proper sport as such (come on, admit it), why not include other so-called sports where the participants wear street clothes - such as Darts, Snooker, Skateboarding, Frisbee etc

Good thread Bruce. I'd like to see the following:

British Bulldog

Rounders

Cribbage

Shove Ha'penny

Imagine playing the French at British Bulldog? That'd be ace, We could bagsy John Prescott, David Prowse and Jeremy Guscot ........ They'd not stand a chance :hihi:

the 7 legged race!

Have each countries team to tie their legs together? :cool:

Egg and spoon race, the fancy dress race, and of course the parents race...

Joel

Monopoly would be good, it always ends in a fight in our house.

Do they already have mens beach volleyball ?

spume throwing or string pulling

We need to add something uniquely British to the games, like the Pushchair Dash - teenage girl (in tracksuit - it is a sport after all) chasing two scruffy urchins down a cobbled street pushing a pram containing a case of white lightening and 400 "knock off" Regals, shouting "Ger 'ere our Tiffany" or "Bethany, cum in, it's time for thee tea"

Or maybe the 100m Morrissons dash to knock the own brand biscuits from their childs hand. Extra points for the ferocity of the braying they give " Ah telt thee Chelsea, no chuffin' biscuits til mommy get's paid from t' social!"

Or maybe a huge 4x4 race where you have to drive at 15 miles an hour for about 500 yards then park on the pavement (ignoring actual pedestrians and all road markings) as close as possible a to gate to drop-off a tiny child, then you repeat the race in reverse later that day ?

That'd be quite good. You could get Clarkson and Hammond to commentate of course we'd have to enter the Stig as a matter of course but I reckon for sheer reckless, precission driving some of the Chelsea tractor owning mums out there would give him a run for his money.

Again, bonus points available for:

Glaring at anyone who looks like their encroaching on the mum mobile's space

Ignoring rights of way

Danger of manouvres on a scale of 1 - 10

Screaming at cars that they're late for Tyler's year 4 presentation of the reading prizes and to get out of the way

Complete ignorance of the highway code

:hihi:

Binge Drinkathon - one thing the British would be guaranteed to secure a gold, silver and bronze in.

It would make great TV viewing 'And here's Danny 'The Pint Pot' Stevens, representing the Sheffield Sh*tfaced Academy - he's on his thirtieth pint, but there's only five minutes left. Oh look, he's out, he's blown it, dashing off to vomit in the Sick Bucket'.

Sponsors would be queing up no doubt and we'd never be short of competitors.

I'd especially be interested in the Women's Tournament where they start pulling each other's hair and calling each other names towards the end of the contest, before being shoved into the back of a Metropolitan Police van in order to spend the night in a cell from where The News of the World reporter can get the full gossip and the obligatory topless shots.

IOC - get it rolling!!!

I heard that the relay teams were in trouble in Sydney for preventing the sprinters from using the facilities. They were disqualified for discriminating based on race :hihi:

Back on topic, I would like to see elastic band flicking and pancake tossing.

gay sword fighting ,the man with the swiftest hips wins but watch out for the cheats with the vaseline:o

Underwater basket weaving and knitting fog..........been practicing for years.................

The Trolly Dash. like the one the did on dales supermarket sweep.

And it's Great Britan heading for the pix n mix, they pick up an iflatable bonus. the French stacking up on the booze now heading for the pix n mix. The Americans stacking up the tin cans. Great Britan now heading over to the Booze and stacking the troilley full of beer. and thats it the time is up. Come back shoppers Now lets put the goods through the checkout

Didnt I read that Darts, Snooker and Cricket were the hosts nominated sports for the 2012 Olympics?

Blind Man's Buff :cool:

Pin the tail on the Donkey

David Blunkett could take part in both, one way or another.:hihi:

I'd always fancied my chances on the parallel bars until I realised that they didn't have beer pumps on them.

I reckon I'd be in with a chance in the polo vault - but for all the forum posters the event has got to be the discuss.

Yes, impersonating her.

That's a shame :confused:

I think they should just glue all the events together in one big event, to be done in silly costumes "It's a knock out" style! I can see it now - after the pole vault you just have to run a marathon then pop the balloons and your finished!
