[jgcsteve13]

in the days of not being allowed to smoke anywhere ever ever ever.

not very pc i think

[Ootohere]

no its definitely an ashtray with his & hers arms to put your ciggies on 

[Ootohere]

Sorry you are getting the wrong end of the stick,

Not only Him & Her can drink from it,

Him & Him or Her & Her can, because we are a Modern & Progressive country where same sex Marriage or just same sex is well big upped as clearly shown in the opening ceremony

 

PS

Our favourite Cake, which is clearly for VAT reasons not a biscuit comes in a handy size foil wrap, perfect for use when chasing the dragon.

In a word, yes.  Which is nice, because it's more useful than a medal, and will last longer than a bunch of flowers.

Tunnocks Caramel Wafer is also excellent for the heart apparently...not

We are talking Tunnocks Tea Cakes though,

the snack you can eat a whole pack of between meals and still enjoy a Pizza Crunchie Supper & Deep Fried Mars Bar or even Caramel Waffer dessert.

 

Nothing like a balanced diet.

Speaking of - Do you think they should make the Hydro light up like a giant Tunnock's Tea Cake?

for the benefit of the OP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaich

I thought the quaich's were a brilliant idea to give out.

If the weather forecast is right for Sunday they will need them to bail out the stadium for the closing ceremony.  

Sadly it looks like being really horrible weather.

from the looks of most of the competitors i don't think too many of them knew what they were either

[Ootohere]

Looking forward to the closing ceremony tonight. 

 

'All back to ours'.

(for a party.)

 

I can see no way that the Twins Charlie & Craig will not be there performing.

But then i am more often wrong than right.

So when England host them will it be a can of White Lightning cider and a pack of fags? Racked my brain to think of a culturally significant item we could present and this is all I could think of.

What did they get when it was held in Manchester, some 'E's ?

Probably a sky plus remote and a voucher for a spray tan.

Can of Iron Brew and Greggs sausage roll would probably have been more appropriate then.

[Girardi]

Also love how the 'podium' appeared to have been knocked up in 20 minutes with some off cuts of balsa wood?

[Ootohere]

It took the designer and his team 8 months to build 96 Podium & to get that look from fallen trees from Glasgow, Elm for the Gold & Sycamore for the Silver & Bronze.

So we can expect the Invoice to be a bit more than for some Balsa Wood.

 

I wonder how many of them are snaffled already for Shop Displays, Garden Benches or for this winter & use in Wood Burning stoves.
