Big Ben to ring in the Olympics.

Wow that was fantastic the DGC have got my ears ringing (does that count)

Well I joined in with Jingle's bells all on my own! It was very noisy!

An Olympic party is a great idea! I'm off to a group bell ring in the village, I couldn't find a bell anywhere so I'm taking a very jingly metal wind chime. Plus a Then back home to watch every scrap of everything on the TV!

Just heard a few hooter blasts from a cruise ship at Southampton....I wonder if they'll join in with the bell ringing?

Well I have got the bells ready for us all in the morning, the DGC are going to ring their bike bells and the door bell, we are hoping the church behind us will have the ringers in.
Then we are going to have a Olympic party tomorrow afternoon for the DGC just to get into the spirit of it all you understand

You'll have to be quick, Granb - it's tomorrow!

Shall I make and sell to all Gnetters an instrument made of up a number of different coloured rings joined together with little cymbals on each circle..... or sell printed tshirts with a picture of different coloured rings joined together with the words "I'm joining in the London Olympics 2012 Big Ben Bong" printed on them so that all those Gnetters who won't be in the vicinity of a bell can participate..... or will I attract the trademark men in their fetching uniforms??

Once again Twenty Twelve has come up with another "loopy idea "- hang on a miute, they're really doing it! I read the producer saying he wished LOCOG could think up their own problems instead of just copying the programmes's

And me!

You might even wake me up if you do it loud enough.

Cari that will be fine.

Don't forget.

They are trying to add to the at the moment non-existent excitement.

Does anyone know why we "have" to do this please? I have a lovely brass bell bought in the Far East 42 years ago and shall ring it, but DH is not impressed!!

It was a bit of an ask!

Cop-out!

Don't somehow we are gonna get that Annika. They are strictly on ration don't you know!

We need a bell smiley and quick !

Make sure you've got the sound on.

glass, show the GKs how to whizz the little pointy hand along all the bell pictures without stopping.

Makes a helluva racket.

Go on!!

I have down loaded the bells ringtone too, might as well go the full hog!!!

Right then I will have the DGC up and on the door step with their bicycle bells and raise the street

It's not a wind-up! It's all part of Opening Ceremony day, details here...

At a Farmers Market in our village last weekend the Town Crier announced it. There are a couple of events close by, but I can't find a bell anywhere! I will find/make/improvise some sort of a bell and join in!

Is this a wind up????

I quite like the idea of Big Ben sounding excited.
