Bark From The Park, Time to Ring in The Games!


Giant Olympic rings suspended from Tower Bridge for The London 2012 Olympic games.

Giant Olympic rings suspended from Tower Bridge for The London 2012 Olympic games.


Giant Olympic rings suspended from Tower Bridge have been unveiled, making a tacky statement on one of the capital's most iconic landmarks. The rings, which weigh three tonnes, cost £259,817 to produce and installing them is estimated to have cost £53,000. They remind me of a dilapidated sign that can be found at a long since dead seaside resort. Three tonnes of scrap metal is worth alot of money so it’s only a matter of time before some enterprising scrap metal merchant thieves it! Well at least it’s the Olympic rings and not the ghastly 2012 logo. Now here's one Olympic seat you might get a ticket for, as London's £50m cable car opens across the Thames. At £3.20 for adults and £1.60 for children at least it something we can all afford. Despite the cost of the highly-trained torch security team, two grinning teenagers managed to break through a police cordon before grabbing the 2ft-long flaming torch as it made its way through Coventry at the weekend. However, they only managed to briefly grab it after being bundled back into the crowd by police and security guards. Makes me think Banksy’s tribute to the Olympics was spot on. 


Don’t forget the 2012 Blogville Olympics is here soon so join the BCC and be up to date on the latest news.

  6. Oh Molly, we are loving your updates - although She tends to agree with you that the Olympic rings look a wee bit out of place on that wonderful, beautiful structure - do you think they just thought 'oh well, we have to hang them somewhere???'. They should let us dogs manage the process - SOOO much more organised and tasteful we would be!

    Woof.

  10. Hey Molly,. We are very glad you are reporting on the Olympics (from your point of view). We agree about the rings and with what Sarge said about the birdies - oh yeh they will love those rings. That poodle is very colorful. We are glad our peeps don't do that - of course we are not poodles(except Hadley our foster) and our we are already colorful enough.

  18. You have got to be kidding us! That amount of money for something that looks like it came off Ebay - they would have been better donating money to animal shelters.
