Timing
For how much longer does this go because it is 1.47am here and I need to be up for work at 6.45 and I'd like a couple hours sleep --Hayden4258 (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Yea but I'm in bed and it's all the way down in the lounge. Hence my predicament. --Hayden4258 (talk) 13:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

"Ping pong's coming home" (Boris Johnson)
I recall watching the coverage of the closing ceremony when Boris Johnson as London Mayor received the Olympic flag, then waved it, declaring "Ping pong's coming home!". With due citations, I wonder if it would be worth mentioning (although I myself don't have published info to hand). As it was so openly said on air and may have been recorded in some newspapers, I wonder what the Chinese official reaction was?Cloptonson (talk) 18:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
