  1. What does he like then? not a moden pentathlon fan i hope
  2. huh?? are you just used to your hockey being on ice? (the frozen water not the drug)
  3. You mentined that there are "gamers" working there that just move onto the next Olympics so is this the 1st games you have worked at?
  4. so if they have sold all the tickets does this mean every venue every session will be full? Look like i will have to but hockey tickets from scalpers. should have got Jie Jie to run a games bid ticket service and buy us tickets!
  5. Will be some close games in pool A i think. Hope i can get tickets there to see the Aussie girl go for gold after a poor showing in Athens
  6. sad thing is Chanel 7 in Austrlia have started it again and its just as **** as it was the 1st time. there is even an olympian on it as a gladiator!
  7. isnt the Germn out fit the same as there Athens one with a new logo?
  8. what area or department of VANOC do you work in? can then think of some questions you will know rather than throwing ticketing and ceremonies questions at you
  9. if there going to try and sell them i can see the $2 bins being very full after the games
  10. That red outfit is almost as bad as the shirts Australian Football team wore in the late 80's and thats now know at the vomit strip. I hope the poor dears dont have to wear that when they get the medals if they do i hope Canada dont win any
  11. for an insider you dont know much i could have answered all these questions. How about you tell us something you DO know
  12. Thanks for the update very intersting and i hope we can beat the US!!
  13. can you prove your work for vanoc by sending me a vanoc pin
  14. apart from the opening and closing and hockey games that canada play what are going to be the hardest tickets to get?
  15. will the cauldron be lit in BC Place at the opening or somewhere outside?
  16. can you get me tickets to the women arial final as it could be Australias only chance of a medal? Can you give the Australia Curling team automatic qualification in both mens and womans?
  17. It sucks big time being it could be the last tme we see this sport at the Olympics. Thats the price we pay for having our best player in Asia and not being able to get clerances from the Asian team to play for Australia aganst Asian teams.
  18. Just checked SkyNews on Foxtel and they said about 4000 in Melb and 1000 in Syd marched. Tibet supported have said is Chines prpoerganda.
  19. just goes to show there is always 2 sides to every story and good to see them having there say. Do you know if it was any of the evening newses in Australia?
  20. They look good from this pic but im sure they will look even better when i have some in my hot little hand!
  21. Good move think the torch relay is getting to big. Each city trying to be bigger and better than the last. Think Sydney got it right small legs in area that will never host a games like Pacific nations. If it keeps going with International relay most country will have the torch every 4 years rather than only when there county hosts a games. Will make the relay less special as its there every 4 years.
  22. In Sydney they call them community cauldrons and were lit every night in a community celebration. The city/council got to keep them after the games. I was surprised to find one in Ballarat, Victoria being used as a door stop. Stood about waist height and wasn’t in very good condition.
  23. the timing of this is interesting. Still wont stop me from going to Beijing
  24. I have booked the below hostel and 10 nights is about AU$2700 and they guy i have been emailing has been really good. http://www.qianmenhostel.com/docc/about.html
  25. I have had an email from CoSport saying they had to shut down there server in Australian site as they were being hacked at that time. I did manage to get tickets late at night (aus time) I then found the next day we had 5 orders confirmed that when I was in the payment screen came back with an error and your cart is empty. I then had 5 lots tickets for the same events same days and they have since refunded. Even got a call when the credit card declined so after first thinking CoSport were crap it has all worked out in the end. Just hope there are tickets from Hockey, Basketball and Softball (aus games) when I get to China.
