I like the picture of the athletes on the ramp stand at LHR with the cabin crew. I noticed the girls all wore their caps for it. Congratulations to our friends on the other side of the Pond for their wins!

mjabbasi · 08-26-2008, 12:46 PM

Whats with the golden nose??

B773ER · 08-26-2008, 12:47 PM

It is a special "gold medal" nose.

The boffins had to come up with a specially designed silicone-based paint for exactly that reason - standard metallic paint would interfere with the electronics. Thus the slightly dull effect.

N. Eberhard · 08-26-2008, 06:56 PM

They probably would have painted on a real looking gold medal, but the stuffy IOC would have had a major coronary.

Roarer · 08-26-2008, 07:17 PM

We beat the Aussies and they were all moaning about it!!

All I can say to that is, Har de bloody har har har!!

You'll probably be back to beating us before long anyway. The likes of the Ashes not enough for you ya bunch a' bad loosers??

I hear we have mastered all the sports where you have to sit down, but: there is a REASON why we have to sit down in rowing!! ha ha!!

Anyway what's the reg ??

G - ??LD

maverick231 · 08-26-2008, 07:21 PM

i expect itl be G-BNLD

B773ER · 08-26-2008, 07:24 PM

Yes, that's what it looks like. G-BNLD.

Roarer · 08-26-2008, 07:31 PM

Thanks.

If they had been thinking about it, they should have supplied one with a reg ending in GM, for Gold Medal, BT, for British Team, or, OG, for Olympic Games.

Instead though, they had LD, London's Destiny/Dream

My favourite was the mens coxless 4's beating the Aussie boat in the last 250 metres!!

If Kelly Holmes was made a Dame after 2 gold medals in Athens, I hope the same goes for Becky Addington and also "Arise Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Ben Ainsley" wouldn't go amiss.

Well done to all the Team GB athletes for making this proud Brit cry with joy so many times.

Agent X20 · 09-01-2008, 10:18 AM

With the anoraks this weekend.. is she still flying with her nose...?? .. no one seemed to know... or was it a once off flight..?

Was thinking, it would have looked far smarter to have an Olympics symbol on the side if the plane, but no doubt as that is all licenced, the fee would have been astronomical..
