FFS, not the Olympics again

And the landlord at my local was telling me that the football season is starting as well

Bloody sport...

I've never understood the passionate support for a football team. Don't mind playing football, but watching, buying season tickets etc ???

It's always kind of embarrassing on holiday when somebody says "your British, your football player xxxx is the best and I have no idea who they're talking about."

I have a feeling that a fair percentage of men who claim to be into football are just faking it, in case they seem 'unmanly'

luckily for me i'm for too busy so don't watch much TV anyway (actually probably none now that top gear is off air again)

So it'll be the reinstated Red Ken and his famous performing newts then, will it?

Nope, newts are endangered now so they're barred from being engaged on contracts purely for entertainment purposes, sorry.

I agree I loathe all of the hype around sports, these things take over the press endlessly.

Lord (Seb) Coe must be sliding down in his seat and thinking "How on earth do we follow this....?!"

Simply put we can't, odds are the Health and Safety crowd will object with so many people in close proximity and fireworks will be banned due to the loud noise they emit and the flashes that might effect people.

Less pollution, less political suppression would probably be a good place to start ...

For me this whole Olympics is tainted for those two reasons alone. Something about this whole thing is deeply wrong.

Watching it in HD is truely amazing. Never bothered with the opening ceremony before but thought would see and just wow!

[VectraMan]

I was just watching it and thinking the same. No doubt we'll have some kind of "How to solve a problem like the Olympic opening ceremony academy factor in the jungle" tulipe to organise it.

Well the events over in Beijing this afternoon are looking pretty spectacular so far.

Why do I get the horrible feeling already that the London ceremony is going to look something more like Jemini off of Eurovision a few years back ...?
