Olympic volunteers

[Kenty]

So if you were lucky enough to get to go to the Olympics as a volunteer, what looks to be the best job allocation?
What task would you like to have got?
My top three:-
1- sand raker at the beach volleyball
2- bicycle steady for women's sprint starts in the velodrome
3- accreditation holder in the pool, handing it back to the swimmers as they leave the pool.

Oddly enough, there's a bloke who works for the Highways Agency doing that very job.

Lucky?

A guy from work has taken almost all of his leave allowance to spend the entire Olympics in the Excell Centre doing stupidly long hours and just pointing lost old people to the toilet!

He seems happy enough to be involved but I can't think of anything worse!

Just a sec... I think I know what you're getting at...

It looks like technology has taken my ideal job: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2181654/Vi...

I went to some footy at Coventry this week, and there was a guy came into the stands, pushed past us, wearing one of these pink bibs with 'Spectator Assistance' on it, as we'd seen loads of people wearing outside. Weird thing was, whilst all the others had 'London 2012' underneath on the rear, this one had 'London 2024' on it. I noticed it, as did this chap next to me. I thought it was a bit odd, but the guy next to me was really worried as this chap was Asian and wearing a bit of headgear!! Last I saw of him, he was off out the stands to report this fella!!
All a bit odd, I must admit it did weird me out a bit.

Don't they play the 'Benny Hill Show' theme whilst they're doing that?

there was a coloured guy at eton dorney on one of the raised seats directing people signing bob marley songs through a megaphone and doing an aexcellent job of raising the atmosphere, picking on miserable looking people and goading foreigners (albeit in a nice way!). he was definatley the best man for that job!
