These two are the two mascots of the London 2012 Olympics Games.
There is a short story of how they came about that was 'set' in Bolton. If you know what I mean. It was inspired by Watson Steel in Horwich.
Even Amir Khan makes a brief appearance.
Anyway here is the link to the video and to the Bolton News website explaining it in a bit more detail.

No doubt the mealy mouthed luddites will be on soon bemoaning this and anything else as a flagrant waste of taxpayers money, so with a nod to Jimmy...
Is it too soon to blame the coalition government for this?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Anything that makes a curious foreigner stick 'Bolton' into google is fine by me.
The video would have been better with say the Reebok in the background or an accurate representation of the town hall.
When they turn up at the Reebok, which they will, I wonder if Lofty will be under strict instructions not to take the piss like he has in the past!

Which is the point I've been making to all the angry bastards whinging about the cost. Don't like them myself, but then I'm not a child.KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab wrote:I think they look great, and they seem to be popular with the seven year olds at school - the sort of people they were designed to look good for.

That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.
