That'd be me. I know the scoring system has changed in recent years and maybe I should give watching it a go, but the old scoring systems put me off too much.

Yep, can't wait, taking the mrs next thursday for 3 days to watch tennis, athletics, handball and football.
I'm sick of all the moaners to be honest.

Does anyone else think Zara Tindall is tasty?

shes ok wouldnt make my top 10

see theres been a bit of confusion at the archery at lords..people turning up to watch only to be told different,that along with the womens footy flag fiasco,,,what next..

Apparently Joe Allen was classed as English instead of Welsh. Not a good start. Hopefully everything is positive from here on.

they keep letting Boris talk!

What is their not too like? Looking forward to watching other sports than footy and rugby tbh..

People mya not be aware that sky channel 451 and onwards there are about 20 BBC Olympic sport channels, this will save you dicking about on the red button. I've spoke to a few that weren't aware, probably beacuse we go straight to 405 or 905 as soon as we get the sky remote.

Re: olympics..anyone interested???

damn right there is.
fantastic occasion
2 weeks off
I'll watch as much live stuff as I can, but be out on the bike and in the pool for the best part fo 2 weeks.
awesome

If Mishal Husain is going to present it, every day....................

YES, I'll be interested.

Enjoying the opening ceremony.

abide with me

Rugby League got a shout out...

I didn't hear the rugby league bit, what exactly was said?

Very brief, hardly worth noting. Trevor Nelson said [after abide with me had finished that it's sang at the start of every challenge cup since 19-- something.

That was it.

Ta. Considering the amount of banal dump Trevor Nelson came out with over the course of the event, it's not even clear that it's a good thing.

The totally random splurge of rah-rah at the beginning was bizarre and very annoying.

On the whole the opening was rather good.

Rather looking forward to the track and field,and my little boy is wanting to watch Bolt run.

Did'nt watch a second of it, and judging by the 1st 8 pages in the daily mirror, I'm glad I never.

Well you missed something then, if only for the fact that it showcased GB as clearly the number one nation in the world when it comes to producing popular music.

Take it then we were bragging about reality show winners. Country has not produced anything of note since the Britpop era of the 90s.

Coldplay are one of the worlds biggest bands of the last decade

1929. Trevor Nelson wasn't too bad, but Hazel Irvine is a bit of a 'thrush.'

The queen looked well cheesed off.. Bet she was thinking what am i doing here when i can be at the challenge cup final on august 25th

was better than what i thought..was expecting the cameras to single out every so called celeb going but thankfully it concentrated on the ceremoney...like listening to the info on the smaller lesser heard countries...
