A spokeswoman for Omega said: "We are obviously very disappointed that the clock has suffered this technical issue".

"Technical issue"?

IT DOESN'T WORK !!

This is the same company, by the way, who will be recording the split second times for thousands of events during the Games themselves.

All I can say is ... Failcake !!

[ummmm]

I thought it had been fixed?

Might have something to do with me no longer smoking, but each time I see you've typed "failcake", I want to rip your head off your shoulders and play football with it.

No offence.

So do I boo, cos that's my word :P

[Booldawg]

bunch of newbs.....innit.

[ummmm]

My teeth get itchy as well...

Molly - don't use it. It's a silly word and it annoys people.

[joggerjayne]

But Molly ...

I thought we agreed I could use it for £1.

Or was it £1 each time?

[mccfluff]

stop saying failcake JJ for the love of all that is chocolatey, please just stop it

[joggerjayne]

I wonder if they bothered to test it beforehand ?

[mollykins]

£1 each time :P - cheques can be made payable to Miss Nicola De . . . .

[joggerjayne]

Do you want a Copyright acknowledgment, as well?

After each time the word appears, I could type ...

[joggerjayne]

So, anyway ... this clock ...

[ChuckFickens]

It was a bit of a failcake. :-p

[joggerjayne]

Now you have to send Molly £1.

[ChuckFickens]

I don't have a contract with her, she'll have to take me to court for breach of copyright :)

[ChuckFickens]

Though should it have been failcake ©

[mccfluff]

someone is going to end up hurting soon

[jackthehat]

Someone better get onto the Urban Dictionary and ask them to amend their reference to 'failcake', in that case.
