DarJoLe Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 The giant set of rings... ...are for the river! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-17189457
Mr Tickle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Are they for Tower Bridge it seems a tad vague or are they a permanent set for the Thames
Michelle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Oh well, missed opportunity I think. They appear somewhat isolated, and stick out like a sore thumb!! We all assumed they would hang from the bridge, in some way or another. They should have placed these somewhere else.

Suppose it's better than the syringes and dog poos currently floating there.
Michelle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, not a fan of that myself. Floating rings on the Thames. Suppose it's better than the syringes and dog poos currently floating there. Just read this from the Huffington Post "The Rings on the River are to go into storage until the start of the Olympics, when they will again appear on the Thames." It appears this sore thumb is going away

Michelle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Thank God. Tower Bridge is an iconic structure absolutely perfect for placing the Olympic rings on. Oh wait, are they coming back onto the river? it appears there are no plans to 'hang' the rings on the Bridge. I think, this is as good as it gets!! But this may change, as the rings would look amazing on Tower Bridge.

Mr Tickle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 I give up. I think I need one of my breaks from this website
DarJoLe Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 The rings move around the river, that isn't a static position for them in that Tower Bridge photo! It's a brilliant idea- getting as many landmarks along the London riverside into a photo with the rings before they are moved into the Park. Unfortunately the tide meant they couldn't go further than London Bridge but will be back at some point to promote Festival events.

Michelle Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Love that song! Their other hit "where do you go", would also apply!! Ahhh, the 90's!! Good years!
oakydoky Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Their other hit "where do you go", would also apply!! Ahhh, the 90's!! Good years! Indeed. And the song 'where do you go' is an equally apt song for the future of the main Olympic stadium.
