Anyone catch that programme SPRINT on channel 4 last night? It followed four young GB 100m hopefuls through the last two years. Looks like Simeon Williams rather than Craig Pickering will be our best hope for any medals, although they're both still well off the pace of the big boys Powell and Gaye.

Can we edit the thread title to 'the Olympic drug cheats thread'. I imagine that will be the main talking point.

jamie hewlett is rubbish - he was all disgruntled about the costume and set design for the monkey opera, and yet seemingly happy with the tank girl movie.

hhhm, would fuk officially endorse the games? i'm not sure, but if it did i'm sure it wouldn't be fashion uk fashion.

I'm not sure either - don't mind the thread at all, but not sure what the 'endorsed by fuk fashion' means Laughing out loud

i used to really like him, but he just seems so stale now.

sorry all, this has little to do with the olympics, it's about as close as i'm going to get in terms of interest Laughing out loud

edit: Laughing out loud @ brad, glad it's not just me that was confused by it

I meant the thread is endorsed by fuk as I got permission to start it from a mod who usually hates new threads Smiling

(and so andymakesglasses doesn't bump Greece 2004 thread and delete this one)
