Following on from the Tracey Emin thread, I have just looked online at the Olympic mascots - what a load of trash - I feel quite embarrassed to be British!
What are they trying to say? They are so unattractive - a being with one eye in the middle of its forehead - whatever is that about? Do people actually buy these things? The international community must think we are quite bonkers!!
I will be glad when the whole thing is over....signed Grumpy Old Lady!!

I agree Mishap, I'm finding the whole olympic thing embarrassing.
I don't want it to go wrong, but I'm cringing inside!
Talking of embarrassing, have you seen the line-up for the Closing Ceremony.....?
'Stripping lollipop ladies, Russell Brand singing the Sex Pistols and ballet will all feature at the London Olympics closing ceremony, it was revealed yesterday.
The show, A Symphony of British Music, will see dozens of stars singing their hits in a multi-million-pound extravaganza.
Highlights include performances by Queen, Take That, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Ray Davies, The Pet Shop Boys and Madness. Emeli Sande is due to open the show and One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah and Jessie J will all play.'
Can't wait!
