        Well speaking for myself, yes. I do enjoy other sports. Particularly rugby union and cricket.

        The Olympics are not really about sport though.

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          As a non-telly-owner I can smugly ignore it (btw I generally dislike watching sport except cricket). What really p1sses me off is the amount of public money going into getting medal winners. What is this, the USSR? I'd far rather the money went into buying back school playing grounds or into giving the little 'uns jumpers for goalposts.

            know what you mean, it's a bit of a freak show, but I'm into almost all other sports

            for things like the sprints, all that effort just for 10 second race,

              Motor racing is fun when they crash.

              Ski jumping is fun when they fall over.

              That's about it, I think

                That's a fact
                It's a thing we can't deny
                Like the fact that I will love you 'til I die
