Oh Gawd! Two solid weeks of the unremitting "Running, Jumping, Throwing Show". Every channel, every news broadcast, every newspaper, will be full of it. I could do without it frankly. angry041:

I shall watch some. Mainly in the hope they will fire some of those anti aircraft missiles they have put round the stadiums at some poor bastard Cessna driver that takes a wrong turn.  point:

Yup!

Might be different if only the Brits could win something but we seem to be pleased with ourselves as worthy failures.
Even when we do get in the top three at anything you can bet your bottom dollar that our representative will be "borrowed" from the West Indies or somewhere similar and then turn out to be a drug cheat.

So, that'll be just be me and Uncle watching the prowess of the beach volleyball teams then  eyes:

I look forward to the opening ceremony which will probably be a spectacle of Imperial proportions, and the architecture of the place looks fantastic. The 'China Design Now' exhibition at the V&A was an appetising foretaste.

Oh, and there's some sporty stuff too

It's not the winning, It's the taking part that counts.
