Coe honour

Once the Olympics finish, should there not be a further honour for Lord Coe from a grateful nation?

May I suggest he is made a Knight of The Garter?

Possibly by HM at the Closing Ceremony.

    We should be grateful for the spending of over £9 Billion on a sports junket, during a recession?

    Grateful nation? The man sold out what could've been a great advertisement for this Country to a load of corrupt foreign corporations. If anything, the closing ceremony should be HM having her guardsmen drag the slimy toad off to the tower.

    It's a shame it's McDonalds or else he could have been made Burger-King Coe :)

    Yes, but it would be further recognition of his greatness.

    Shouldn't we wait and see if it's a success first?

    I know the Press can make mountains out of molehills, but the ticket sale was a bit of a mess from all accounts and this security stuff sounds like a mess also. And we haven't seen the opening ceremony yet.

    I'm sure we can rely on the athletes to put on a good show, but let's see what the Opening ceremony is like.

    Greatness? Did he design the infrastructure himself? Did he build all the necessary facillities himself? Did he pay for all this twaddle himself?

    Punch in the face would be more apt. He's a traitor.

    Such an epic achievement deserves a reward that is beyond peerages and titles. I think the Queen should grant him his own personal ball washer.... whose duties involve following Lord Coe around while washing his balls. Surely a fitting reward

    Given it's inevitably going to collapse into farce, perhaps it would be better for HM to strip him of his titles at the closing ceremony?

    Instead, I propose that his silly title should be taken away from him and he becomes Seb Coe, Tory knob and sports bore, once more.

    The man is being well paid to do his job. If the games are a success then he will have deserved that salary. Why should he get more?

    My boss recognises that my salary is lower than my role and performance merit, but he has no budget to top it up. Why the f*&% should Coe get an extra rewardfor doing his job?

    It wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't negotiated a future non-executive directorship at one of the sponsoring corporations. Let that be his reward.

    I agree. The very least he should get is a lifetime supply of Big Macs and Coke.

    Just name a famous London monument after him. Lord knows he deserves it.

    And be forced to eat them. Then he can be made Lord Coe of the Lardarse in a couple of months.

    The Gherkin would be appropriate.

    In my part of London (east) a gherkin is also known as a 'wally'.

    The Gherkin? That's a good idea. Looks like a butt plug.

    :D We're bad! Once the events start hopefully it will be all about the athletes rather than McDonalds and Coke. At the moment all we're seeing is the protection of 'intellectual property' and the commercialism as it hasn't started.

    I didn't even want the bleedin' Olympics, especially as they're basically going on in my backyard, so NO!
