Welcome to London-
OPENING CEREMONY
The Olympic flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a
person of the city (preferably from Tower Hamlets), wearing the
traditional hoody. The flame will be contained in a large chip van situated
on the roof of the stadium.
THE EVENTS
In previous Olympic games, London's competitors have not been
particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some
of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local
'London' athletes.
100 METRE SPRINT
Competitors will have to hold a video recorder and microwave
oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police
dog will be released from a cage 10 metres behind the athletes.
100 METRE HURDLES
As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets,
hedges,gardens, fences walls etc.)
HAMMER
Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they
wish to use (claw, sledge etc.) the winner will be the one who can cause
the most grievous bodily harm to members of the public within the
time allowed.
FENCING
Entrants will be asked to dispose of as much stolen silver and
jewellery as possible in 5 minutes.
SHOOTING
A strong challenge is expected from the local men in this event.
The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round,
competitors will aim at a post office clerk , bank teller or
Securicor style wages delivery man.
BOXING
Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife
teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15
pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea
when he gets home. The bout will then commence.
CYCLING TIME TRIALS
Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed
and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy from
the country on his first trip away from home. All against the clock.
CYCLING PURSUIT
As above but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the
Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.
MODERN PENTATHLON
Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, snorting a
line, joy riding and arson.
THE MARATHON
A safe route has yet to be decided, but the competitors will be
issued with sharp sticks and bags with which to pick up litter on their
way round the course.
SWIMMING
Competitors will be thrown off the bridge into The Thames. The
first three survivors back, will decide the medals
MEN'S 50KM WALK
Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police
cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of London.
THE CLOSING CEREMONY
Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of
the Peckham Health in the Community anti-drug campaigners,
synchronised rock throwing and music by the Camden Community Choir. The
Olympic flame will be extinguished by someone dropping an old
washing machine onto it from the top floor of the block of flats next to
the stadium. The stadium will be then boarded up before the local athletes
break
into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating boiler.
