Jimmy Page @ Olympics

[Woogie]

It was annoying when the commentator said "And here is the one Britain that everyone will recognise" *camera on Page* *flashes over to Beckham* "Mr David Beckham!!"

it appears to have been removed from youtube, due to a copyright claim  :(

The bit I thought was the worst was the singing of the National Anthem before our little segment- it was the worst rendition i've ever heard!

At least Jimmy was rocking it old-school with a wedge monitor and not in ear ones :)

Red buses are fine.  But to properly reflect today's London each bus should feature one or more of the following:

1. Several teenage girls screeching at each other and cackling at 150dB;
2. A glowering teenage boy or two playing sh!t-hop (or any kind of "urban" music) through the speakers on their mobile phones  (Optional additional features: Knives.  And a slobbering bull terrier called Tyson with one of those stupid studded leather chest plates);
3. Some Eastern European workers on their way to/from a late-night job where they're paid 50p an hour to handle old asbestos or some kind of toxic waste;
4. Three or four fat women with prams clustered around the bottom of the stairs;
5. A threatening-looking man sitting in the back row mumbling to himself.

I've only been to London once in my life, but yeah that's pretty much my memory of it.

You've got that 100% spot on.. I hate the way people act in this City but Philly - I think I love you... 

Agreed Dave I think Philly should be on the team that is promoting London as there needs to be some form of truth

Thank you gents, I'd be more than happy to add my (negative) input if Boris is prepared to take me on board.

I've just come home on a night bus full of people on their way home from Carnivaaaal (no I HADN'T been there myself!!).   It had a complete set of bus stereotypes (apart from the prams, bit late for them).  Plus a full-on row, complete with the driver shouting over the intercom for some annoying tw@t to sit down and shut up.

Loved seeing Page there... thankfully they didn't go with Dick Van Dyke and that whole thing. But the more important and pressing question is whose house am I staying at in 2012?
