It's 2012 and it's the Olympics in London .

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman want to get in, but they haven't got tickets.

The Scotsman picks up a manhole cover, tucks it under his arm and walks to the gate.
" McTavish , Scotland " he says, "Discus", and in he walks.

The Englishman picks up a length of scaffolding and slings it over his shoulder.
" Waddington-Smythe , England " he says, "Pole vault", and in he walks.

The Irishman looks around, and picks up a roll of barbed wire and tucks it under his arm.
“O'Malley, Ireland " he says, "Fencing."
