Time-wasting Friday fun here…

It's Friday once more (August 8), and today, because of the opening ceremony taking place, we're coming up with bands as Olympic related things to waste time until the pubs open.

Here are a few we've come up with so far:

Loretta Javelin
Dexy's Long-Distance Midnight Runners
Richard Archery
IOCee-lo
The Olympic Village People
Decathlon-Offs
The Longcut Jump
Jim Noir-stics
MC Hammer
N-Synchronised Swimming
