London Olympics 2012

[Cuchulainn]

Anyone watching this? Football's on right now, Japan beating Spain, UAE currently beating Uruguay...the worlds gone mad.

[Del Murder]

This started already?

[Slothy]

I'm so not up on this Olympics. When I was in High School and University I'd watch pretty much everything I could. Just don't have the time now. I'll have to catch some highlights when I can.

[Pike]

I might watch some clips on the internet, but I'd be a lot more excited if this was the Winter Olympics and then I could watch some glorious CURLING.

Not even joking. God I love curling.

[Slothy]

I'm Canadian and even I know Curling is a terrible sport.

Shame too since it's usually one of our better chances at a medal.

[Madame Adequate]

That is factually incorrect Vivi22, curling is the best sport in the world aside from Mesoamerican Ballgame and Blitzball.

[charliepanayi]

I'll probably watch what I can every day, or catch highlights. I'll happily watch any Olympic sport that isn't synchronised swimming though.

wat. The torch hadn't even arrived yet. I think you're full of trout. Looking forward to seeing Aus slaughter in female swimming as always and hopefully pick up a few medals in the men's swimming but cannot wait for track and field oh man.

It's pre-Olympic play you dingle berries.

[Sylvie]

theres the games where they swing from the rings and unite the nations

What, like friendlies? Or do they just start when they feel like it?

[Old Manus]

It's all happening in Cardiff for the football, getting home from work is an absolute nightmare. But not as much of a nightmare as the people who actually go to the stadium go through. Two hour waits while they comprehensively search your bag for liquids and tactical-nuclear-weapons-masquerading-as-food, police with MP5s at every gate, bans on big hats/flags/political t-shirts/mastercard, and god help you if you don't like Heineken, because that's all you're permitted to drink...

tl;dr i was already fed up of the olympics two months ago, and live in a different country to london

[Faris]

^Ugh. Glad I was in and out of London before rerouting of public transportation started.

Being Canadian the only Olympics I care about are the winter ones and even then I don't pay much attention. Maybe I'll watch some football/soccer but that's about it.
