skinz Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I would rather stand on a stool,nail my eyelids to the ceiling,then kick the stool away,and swing. I'd pay to see that, and some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5315 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I will be watching but without pride im afraid. all these cut backs and there spending millions on the olympics, its already double its original budget and could double again yet. I also remember booking tickets for the world student games in sheffield, the only tickets that were left were the cheap ones, in seats with no view. when i got there all the expensive seats were empty so i moved seats to a good one. I found out later the reason they were empty was because they were all reserved for the council and the developers. None of them turned up. The same happened at a yorkshire cricket night match a few months later. I feel sorry for the ones going to watch the olympics they will have had to go second best because the decent seats will be reserved. I do say though that lets not bring politics into sport and i hope all the english athletes all do well, youve got to remember it doesnt matter where the olympics are held the athletes still have to train the same in that effort for a gold.

SiSiSi Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I won't watch much of it for the same reason that I don't watch much of Wimbledon - we won't actually WIN a great deal. The same applies to the football World Cup, I watch every game I can regardless of who is playing until we get knocked out. After that I don't watch it anymore and don't care who wins.

Vague_Boy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Will you be watching the Olympics with pride? The last Olympics barely registered with me so no, I probably won't see anything of this one either. It's going to be harder to avoid this time around due to it being located in London, but I'll give it my best shot. Hopefully it will go off without incident.

Vague_Boy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 They can laugh all they like. WE have the olympics:P:D That's why they're laughing, especially the French. "Mon bloomin' dieu, we nearly got lumbered with that". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will go off without incident. I won't be watching the Olympics - and I won't be in the UK when it's on. This time last year, the World Alpine Skiing Championships were being held where I was. It was a good time to be 'somewhere else' - so I went to Florida.
