American athletes use their favorite phrase in English accent and totally embarass themselves.

"The clock is ticking."
"Goo'day mate!"

LOL

Where is the toilet would be my pick

 

[dummydecoy]

I must be the only one who thought the Cumberbatch montage was a bit naff and uncreative. In fact, all these montages have been pretty crap IMO.

Tip for BBC Production team, just use this soundtrack for anything and it instantly becomes breath taking

Edit: The Olympics animation was great but that wasn't done by the BBC

Wait, that trailer is official? The music is from Lord of the Rings!

 

[BigJonsson]

I assume we are allowed to comment on the ceremonies as they happen despite Americans not being able to watch on NBC until afterwards?

"Ohh Bloody Hell" is spot on.

 

[Owensboro]

What's GAF's policy on posting links to streaming sites? I've been scrambling for the last hour trying to figure out how I can watch any of the Olympics with no Cable Subscription. I just happened on a site that is streaming a Canadian stream and what I assume are 3 separate streams of the same British stream.

Would love to post a link, but don't want to get banned.

Also, I would love to get links in the future for when these streams eventually die.

@ Owensboro : try it for a week. http://unblock-us.com/

Michael Johnson is a class act. Always a pleasure to hear him speak.

Yup. The BBC should be pretty proud he comes to them instead of NBC like you'd expect.

Cloud balloons and maypoles. Can't wait.

I have posted them many times often because rugby is often impossible to watch in the USA otherwise. So here is my favorite site. By the way, the Europeans have the best sports streaming sites. ;-)

The clock is ticking? What?

Did you watch it? The athlete couldn't think of one and the host goes "The clock is ticking" so the athlete says "Oh, The clock is ticking" in an English accent.

 

[B-Dex]

Even ctv in Canada is live broadcasting everything and streaming it online. Why does NBC screw you guys over?

 

[Kurtofan]

I got a redirection loop on this page is this normal?

It's when I click on "Last Page".

Oh right yeah, I thought she suggested it as a typical English saying.

 

[Nemo]

Lmao at the Indian guy, had me laughing for some reason

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Is that the guy on the BBC?

Yes. The other pundit is Sir Steve Redgrave, also a legend.

 

[Salvadora]

Seem like really likable guys. Really enjoying this BBC coverage so far.

 

[DECK'ARD]

My favourite thing so far is the Olympic rings on Tower Bridge.

Love that.

Yea, because the American pulled up lame after trash talking for months


Also, I'm not even sure if that was the Michael Johnson the above post was referring too lol

Holy shit. You sir, are a savior.

Put this link in the OP! I'm watching the HD BBC stream and it's GLORIOUS. Now I just need to keep making fake hotmail accounts to renew the service every week over the next month.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

'Isles of Wonder' look like The Shire. Half expecting to see some Hobbits.

I love how ad hoc this pre show on the BBC is.
