What if the UK get no medals?

Would the national mood remain chipper or would it turn sour?

Disappointment but I don't think sourness. Poeple will find something positive I reckon

that's never going to happen.

thread over.

A quickly-arranged beer-drinking contest and a call to my mate Darren should sort that out.

It probably isn't. But imagine if it did.

We can blame the Government as they're responsible for everything

or the weather

I mean I am watching the Women's Cycling at the moment and it's brilliant. Team GB may not win a medal but they are fighting very, very hard, and it's great to see.

I Hope Darren is really that good.
I've seen some Kiwi's and some Saffies who could put up some stiff opposition in that event!

thanks, but no thanks.

i can think of at least a 101 other things to imagine, all of which would help when having a wank, imagining this wouldn't.

No need to imagine seeing as it's GB rather than UK

Aw come on. It would be hilarious! Imagine the things Cameron and Coe would have to say in public.

Mere earthlings.

Believe me, when the boffins have invented warp drive and we hold the first intergalactic drinking contest, Darren has an excellent chance of a medal position as Milky Way captain.

Would they have to say anything though? They would simply stress 'the legacy of the games' etc.., which is after all one of the reasons why we won the bid rather than how many medals we might win.

They'd gloss over winning no medals and instead talk about the success of the games as a whole.

If we won no medals I for one wouldn't notice.

Still no idea who Steve Redgrave is, apart from some bloke in his fifites

Is he not part of the Redgrave acting dynasty?

that makes two of us.

If GB won no medals won no medals it would be amazing. Even that one in America where we only won about 5 gold medals it was like 'only 5 gold medals!' and they fired all the toffs, GB won about 30 last time

look man, god, England is a powerful country, deal with it

I tell people here in China I'm from England and they are like 'wow, England, olympics, industrial revolution, and that
It's like Russia or France or Germany or China, it influences the world, we are lucky as fuck. my best friend a couple of years ago was a kenyan girl and once I was sitting and moaning about england and she was like 'shhut the fuck up, I'm from Kenya, we only have runners and lions, England invents computers and things, just shut the fuck up, we aspire to live in England'

Too late. Well done Lizzie!!

Dead thread now!

OK, what if they only get one medal?

Lol - we'll celebrate Lizzie Armistead

Otley girl! Good lass!

Will this change after the next one to "what if they only get two medals?"

sorry, but you'll need to start a new thread now.

No, she might be DQ for doping.

Or no golds, yes

I imagine the rightwingers would be calling for Britain to quit the Olympics, ever quoting how much it costs to take part and blaming everything on biased judges who all hate us

Personally I would cream my pants.

Eurgh

It would be fun watching the politicos squirm. It would help if the media weren't such nobs as well though. Cavendish did NOT lose the gold medal, he simply didn't win it!
