Olympics have officially Begun - But...
 

Still 2 days to go to the opening ceremony!

Did you know that the Olympics have officially begun?

Yep today it started with Women's football and GreatBritain beat New Zealand 1 - 0.

But isn't it a bit odd starting some games before holding opening ceremony - don't you think that's a big odd.

I reckon they should have had an opening Ceremony and that day been a day off for every body. :)

Remember to get your earplugs ready for that awful bellringing stunt due early tomorrow morning.

Re: Olympics have officially Begun - But...
 

It's bad enough here Friday nights as it is without having to endure Friday morning as well. Living near the parish church we get bellringing practice from 8pm every Friday.

No need telly won't be on.:D

This will be not just church bells, but door bells, cycle bells, hand bells too.
The 'artist' who thought that one up needs torturing with a week of heavy metal music.

Cashy dear - it is a nationwide event - so all the god botherers will be clanging anything that makes a metallic sound.

Perhaps our PC brigade have got in touch with that poor little Chinese lass that was deemed too ugly to open their games and promised that they will let her appear?

Work No. 1197: “All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes” presents a truly celebratory work for the Games. It was commissioned by the London 2012 Festival as a ground-breaking new work. When it is performed, people all across the UK will be caught within its rich tapestry of sound. No two people’s experiences of Work No. 1197 will be the same, making it both a personal and a communal celebration.

Any Bell. Anyone. Anywhere.

And if you win the competition on the website you get an inflatable Stonehenge for a day!

Very well named... truly is a sacrilege in the name of art - I despair for the future of culture in this country sometimes.

I thought that you may like to know about an interesting theory:rolleyes: doing the rounds.

The Earth has sonic resonance, known as the Schumann resonance (sound).

Schumann resonances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Olympic site is on a major Earth ley line.
The metallic content, and resultant sound, that that Olympic bell will produce is secret.
The ringing of that bell and all the other bells in UK has potential for affecting the Schumann resonance.

It is only a theory, but why risk it by ringing?

ha ha like the quote in your new signature - appropriate as always!

Personally I love the sound of bells -something timeless about them, but then i don't live under or near a Campanile!

As to the Olympics -ended up watching part of the Brazil match but my men do not rate women's footie and soon turned over (thankfully!) Am looking forward to seeing the opening ceremony -who will be lighting the final flame?

Saw that the first Faux-pas has been made though -a mix-up between the North and South Korean flags! Not a good start, I wonder who was to blame...
