Hahaha mr bean!

 

[philsussex]

Absolutely superb, but why the French announcement before the English version?

Odd. French is a minority language. Hardly necessary.

 

[Harold]

French? f***ing FRENCH!!!!!

What is that about? French speaking before an English translation! Is it some deference to the IOC head? Did that happen in Beijing?
Kin annoying if you ask me.

 

[philsussex]

I think its been fantastic so far, really proud.

After an uncertain start, and a bottle of wine, I agree with you

French is the official language of the Olympics and always spoken first.

Pissing me right off, I can tell you. English is the only language needed. It's not as if a non English speaker would choose French as their first choice second tongue.

And French FIRST FFS!

Isn't the IOC chairman French? Is that why?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

French is the official language of the Olympics and always spoken first.

And that is a disgrace!

Ridiculous. Dead language. Time to dump it.

 

[Biffer]

Official language of the Olympics is, and always has been French.

Really? The Olympics that started on the top of Mount Olympus in Greece?

I'd be well f***ed off if I was Greek.
