The Official 2012 London Olympics Thread

Yo London heads


Today is my last day of work. After this im checking out of the hotel in Reading and coming to stay in London at the Crown Plaza in ShoreDitch for a few days. Whats's nearby there that would be cool to checkout? I learned the hard way on opening ceremony night that taxi drivers will rob you out here. I spent 115 pounds (which i think in damn near $160) in taxis alone that night. Not sure how i'll explain this in my expense report

Where are some souvenir shops that wont rob me blind?

Other than Olympic Village whats there to do in your city? Let me know what cool spots to hit before i skip town. Leaving Saturday night.

Luol Deng feature on BBC one.


Glad he's getting some shine

 

[Yung Yogurt]

Hard for a nikka that black not to shine if u get what i'm saying my nig

 

[Gilver]

Yeah i get it.

It's basically just showing people he actually exists, because as we know, basketball is non-existent in the UK.

It's important people know we have a top player playing for us.


Shame about the rest.

You got some lively bars right down old street and hoxten and thats right by you. They think theyre real trendy over there and stuff. Some free clubs, music playing bars, friendly women, druggies, that sort of thing.

liverpool street is right there too with more mainstreet spots. Cleaner. Its a commuter hub. Some upmarket spots and strip clubs too.

theres too many places in central london to bother with travelling distances imo. The trick is to stay local so that when you encounter women of questionable morals you can just tell them your room is right round the corner no? would be rude not to get p*ssy while youre here.

Was he born in the UK? Whats his relation to Great Britain?

Born in Sudan.

Came to Britain to escape the war there as a young kid. Was good as basketball so moved to the US when he was 14.

It's a tenuous link, but Deng has always said he wants to play for the UK and always goes on about how he owes the UK everything. Always plays for the UK team as well, even if it's against the bulls wishes or whatever.

He's a top lad.

I must say, despite all the talk of empty seats at events, the crowds at this olympics are the best i've ever seen. Incredible noise.
