Never watched it myself, so I hope this is suitable:
I came in here ready to be disgusted at someone not using a 24 image. I leave delighted

All this fuss for about six races: men's 100/200/400/800/1500/5000m.
You're not excited about the Dressage Pete?
I'm not even excited about the football.
always look forward to the sprint events and swimming.
The weird little sports are always the best part of the Olympics. Running is shite.
just realised it isnt 20, a certain somebody was early and posted todays yesterday
It was 0001 when I posted it. The Forum clock is five minutes slow.
Why do Wales & Scotland submit to this GB team? Surely, they've enough national pride to compete under their own flag?
Every Englishmen would be happy for them to compete under their own flags. Personally I just find people annoying who either claim they are Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish not British, or people who complain about competing under the UK team.
Edit - As in I'm fine with anyone wanting to compete under their own flag, but down undermine the achievement whilst doing so.

I see where this is going:
I'm so disinterested in the Olympics. Can't think of a sport I'm totally interested in watching really. Maybe Badminton because we (India) has a talented female badi player. And I guess tennis because it's a great sport and I'll get to watch Federer. But I doubt I'll really care about it. It's not a GS after all.
Is football usually taken seriously at the Olympics? What sort of intensity do we expect? Also, how does one follow a single sport completely given there are so many on simultaneously?

Not sure what this has got to do with the Olympics, but still:
I was going to jump in and do the next number, but it would seem rude to do it now after all this time. I'll just wait to No1.
BBC have just launched 21 standard channels for the olympics and another 21 for HD.
another 3 channels are yet to go up.
I saw some of the Jamaican team around Birmingham Uni campus yesterday. Unfortunately didn't see Bolt and I was told to go away before I could take any pictures or ask for autographs.
