Olympics - London2012
As it seems really quiet on here thought I'd start a topic for people to talk about all things Olympic. Currently I'm off work injured and unluckily for my wife it means I can watch it for its entirety!
Thought the opening ceremony was amazing, though a little long winded and finishing very late. Was it worth the £27million? I believe so! If there had been a game on sky though I may not have even watched it.
Hope we start winning medals or I think some of the floating supporters will lose interest.
And finally... Empty seats??? What a farce! I put in Facebook that I feel these Olympics will be remembered more for the controversy and mistakes than for anything else! IMO a lot of corporate freebies guests will only be interested in event finals!

Great achievement though. Never had anyone inside the top 20 and to get a 7th and 13th are steps in the right direction.

Re: Olympics - London2012
I've watched as much as possible. Probably enjoyed the football more than I thought I would. But I've focused quite a lot on the beach volleyball! Hope we carry on steadily picking medals up!
