Mo Farah

[joeluke]

Can someone hand him a lyrics sheet for the national anthem next time?

[gness]

Why?

[DTCwordfan]

He'll get another go next week - he's saving his voice.

[DTCwordfan]

If you heard me sing, joeluke, your pc would crack.

[Mick-Talbot]

Why have you chose Mo?

I have witnessed hundreds of sports stars not singing the anthem.

[Caribeing]

He's being coached by Wayne Rooney

[gness]

Could be like me DT. No singing voice and make no pretence at singing...ever.
Singing is not obligatory.

[ELVIS68]

AOG spat his G&T out when saw that

[humbersloop]

lol elvis

[vulcan]

Apparently he's got a good voice and has been booked to sing the National Anthem when joeluke runs 10,000 metres, so far Mo hasn't bothered to learn it.

[gness]

Given his magnificent achievement that seems a tad churlish Joe.

I have been delighted with our athletes and am reserving my vitriol for the commentators.

The new national anthem of AB, the debut to be delivered by joeluke at the Castle Olympics: ( to be sung to the tune of the Greek National Anthem from which the text is borrowed ) Unusually - for an Anthem - it's a 6/4 tempo of the Mantzaros music and points clearly to the most manly traditional dance of the Greeks - Tsamiko. So imagine Tony wheeling skirmishes in his tartan skirt:


joeluke, we knew thee of old,
Oh, divinely venator restored,
By the lights of thine wandering eyes
And the light of thy trouser sword

From the graves of our AB slain
Shall thy verbal bravery prevail
As we greet thee again-
welcome back, joeluke! welcome back!

Long time didst you dwell
Mid the SAB peoples that mourn,
Awaiting boxtop's priestess voice
That should bid thee return.

Ah, slow broke that Saturday
And no gnome dared call,
For the shadow of gness's tyranny
Lay over all.

And Mamya saw thee sad-eyed,
The tears on thy Alba cheeks
While thy Mrs Overall was wyedyed
In the blood of Apotheosis leeks.

Yet, behold now thy AB gals and sons
With cheeky AB breath
Go forth to the trollish fight
Seeking Olympic Freedom or Death.

From the graves of our AB slain
Shall thy verbal bravery prevail
As we greet thee again-
welcome back, joeluke! welcome back!

[humbersloop]

bardery, pure and simple. x

[gness]

D`you know DT. I`d break a habit of a lifetime and sing that. :-) x

[Prudie]

That's brilliant as usual DT, do you knock these out on the spur or do you have a tomeful of ready mades?

[marval]

Some of them are so emotional, they are having trouble singing. They are crying and taking in the fact they have won.

[humbersloop]

sub-titled Ode to a Keyboard Warrior I think gness.

How ya cuttin' gal?

[DTCwordfan]

No, in this case I found a National Anthem and played around with it....the Greek one being apropos re the Olympics.

[gness]

Spot on Marvel. How can they savour the biggest moment of their life while singing what really is a poor National Anthem.

[gness]

I`m fine thanks Soopy. Survived a god awful week with the thoughts and humour on here. x
