My wife and daughters are looking forward to the swimming, especially watching to see if Rebecca Adlington can repeat her feat of winning two golds.

For me there is nothing in particular but I do like to watch those sports you don't see too often on TV.

Just back from the Spain v Japan game, football just isn't an Olympic sport IMO, neither is Golf:confused:

I too am a grumpy old man and I'm just looking forward to the end. Although I will probably watch a bit of the womens beech volleyball.:whistle:

Did enjoy the Ab Fab speacial though. This quote sums it up.


Edina: “The Olympics starts this week?”

Patsy: “Where?”
Saffy: “How can you have missed it?”
Edina: “Well, it’s been everywhere for five bloody years. Will we get it, won’t we, will it be built, won’t it be built, will we win, no we won’t. Excuse me if I miss it actually starting. It’s been like tinnitus.”

Funny how during these events the entire nation sudenlly become fans of rowing, cycling and anything else we can actually contend in.

I prefer the winter olympics. Always wanted to have a go in a bobsled

Same here - although to be honest when I saw them selling on agency sites for nearly £1k each I did wish you could put them on fleabay or similar and take a nice holiday instead:D

Looking forward to the meeting but not the hassle of getting there / in

Will be watching ALL the athletics, swimming, gymnastics, rowing.

And throw in some beach volley ball - womens of course!

Well you would, wouldn't you?
A great line once used by the suave Des Lynam, when asking if you will be, "staying up" for Gaby Logan. :whistle:

Looking forward to a great Games and feeling that it was money well spent and that GB has benefited from it. Hoping Group 4 get stuffed

Don't be so miserable - there's plenty of money in the country at the moment. Why not spend some of it on a few games

Where is all this money you talk of? Maybe the stash saved by closing hospital wards and reduced staff numbers. Or maybe from reduced funding for community projects and not letting cancer patients have access to drugs that could extend thier lifes. No wait. It's from all the speeding cameras.
