I saw a report on the beeb about other nation's opinions of London 2012 - the usual self-congratulatory nonsense "ooh, didn't we do well". Anyway, they've got correspondents airing from other countries reading off the local newspaper headlines - USA, Germany, that kind of thing, all very positive - but the chap in France couldn't find a single nice thing the French media said about the games and our handling of it.

The French really are poor loosers.
Strange really, seeing as they've had so much practice at loosing.

Perhaps he was accentuating, as in 'The French are such poor Looooosers'. You know, while making that 'L' shaped hand gesture.

Could it be that he didn't read french papers? The French media was really impressed by both the opening and closing ceremony as well as the facilities and seem to think it was great games overall. Don't believe everything the beeb says. it's their job to make sure you keep hating and being scared of the French.

Besides Bowie also not giving a flying monkeys (like the article states) The Who also turned down a couple of offer's before finally saying yes. I guess the pay wasn't right on the first two offers. Mark

Bowie had a heart attack a couple of years ago didn't he? Pretty much retired full stop at that point. As much as him pegging it on stage would have been a news story, I think it was probably for the best.
