I assume the is there as once you make it to the west, rather than going to watch the Olympics you are planning to defect?

Sit on an uncomfortable seat behind to spoilt kid farting and throwing popcorn in order to watch some arrogant athlete fail and blame it on his sponsors shoes. No thanks

You're one of those "glass half-full" kind of guys, aren't you?

I would rather pay to see that than the olympics.

Not just the beach, cliff top car parks too, apparently.

But frankly, what are you really going to be able to see? It'll be like watching cricket; they all look the same and they're too far away to see what's going on.

I am tempted to say that atw pays hundreds for 10 seconds of action. But judging from his posts he is still a virgin.

Looking forward to it.

Or her sister Ivnop Ennis?
