Possibly Olympic's first mishap.

Wasn't that Kazakhstan? In any case, they'll probably be the next diplomatic incident....

Oh you're right, it was. But I think there has also been an instance of the wrong Korean anthem being played...

I used the UK flag I got many many years ago at something for the first time today when I just happened to see the British ladies scoring (ooh err!) for the first time today.

There was me thinking they lacked penetration

They could play ball games with me any day!

 

[asterix]

Didn't a spoof version of their anthem get played by mistake?

As for our mistake.... Time was, I would have said the British would never get such a thing wrong. Sadly, now, I'm not surprised.

Actually, the people they ought to get to run this stuff are the people who do royal protocol and logistics. They are the creme de la creme,

Really? I'd have called them the 'the dogs bollox'.

..anyway, what's the betting this team will now have to seek political asylum? ..and they are damaged goods in North Korea?!

 

[perplexed]

At least th N Koreans protested in style, by walking off for an hour and waiting for an apology.

If it were the British and our flag was flown upside down (which it frequently is), we'd tut loudly just before having a slighly stronger cup of tea and an extra digestive.

I'm sure the flag incident won't be the last cock-up, the Olympic village cable car has already broken down.

By the end of the games there'll probably be a catalogue of faux pas but with such a major event I suppose it's to be expected.

Ahem..........

 

[dellzeqq]

silly as it might be, it's no sillier than playing the apartheid era national anthem for the South Africans.......

and then there was the satnav on the coaches that didn't know where the Olympic Park was

 

[Nihal]

All you lot are crazy,worring about this stuff.

If India ever hosted the olympics,i'm sure that you all would either cry with laughter or die in the peocess taking part

 

[toroddf]

I have to admit I am far more interested in finding out what's going on in the offices at Hampden park than on the football pitch. The ongoing football league mess up. First match is on this Sunday and noone knows who is playing.

Anyway.....

It seems like that North Korea debacle was a mishap by London and not by Our Great Leader (A. Salmon).

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Ahem..........

What?

The flag I have was one I got the Launch of a Warship at Yarrows in Glasgow about 20 years ago. It has rarely seen the light of day since!

 

[Nihal]

What?

What,what did i say,i have a throat infection all right,i just cleared my throat,cut some slack for me will ya

 

[Shaun]

I've heard the bloke is now looking for a new Korea (career) - boom tish!!

Sorry, heard it on the radio this morning and it worked better as an audible joke.
