    Ammendments to London Olympics programme of events

    London 2012

    London (Stratford) will be hosting the Olympic Games in 2012.
    OPENING CEREMONY


    The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the area in the traditional dress of balaclava and shell suit. The flame will be contained in a large overturned police van situated on the roof of the stadium.

    100 METRES SPRINT

    Competitors will have to hold a DVD player and microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a cage 10 yards behind the athletes.

    110 METRES HURDLES


    As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc)

    FENCING


    Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as possible in 5 minutes

    SHOOTING


    A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style wages deliveryman. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice of either a Browning automatic handgun or sawn-off 12-bore shotgun

    MODERN PENTATHLON


    Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding and arson

    THE MARATHON


    A safe route has yet to be decided

    MEN'S 50KM WALK


    Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of East London, especially anyone that appears to be... mincing

    THE CLOSING CEREMONY


    Entertainment will include synchronised rock throwing, and music by the Ilford community choir. The flame will be extinguished by police riot water cannon following the inevitable pitch invasion by confused West Ham organised hooliganism club. The stadium itself will then be boarded up before the local athletes break into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating boiler
    Krummhorn and GoneBaroque like this.
    Cheers MIKE.

    How many roads must a man walk down ... ... before he admits he's lost?

    Yes, I saw this somewhere else, as Teddy said sadly no change.
