Indeed... i'm not really impressed by any of it
infact when you hear the PR guy for the "Birdnest" bragging about the amount of time that went into it and that people died in its creation (2) you start to think...
Oh dear...
Yeah, the games have been alright, apart from the annoying hoohah over Michael Phelps.
I just think fake fireworks are stupid.
I am hoping to be out the country in 2012 lol.

So i'm expecting the london underground to be used as the main transport... think of all the athletes being tazored and shot for carrying their javalins ontothe train.
No offence to you as a person but thats the most bitter sounding thing ive ever heard and the most ricidulous, the annoying hoohah? The man is the greatest olympian of all time and proved it in the past 16 days. Thats something for everyone to admire, its an amazing feat to think he became the best in the world 8 times at something he does.Quote:

I dont want to sound horrible, but I dont give two hoots about him, The olympics should be about the amateur stars, UK has done exactly that, Phelps was well know pre-olympics, its just a bit annoying.
And wow, he wont a lot of medals, he was a terrific performer, but ok, he does not need to be on the TV ALL THE TIME. :)
Its not about giving athletes the stage to become well known within society and the medua, its about proving you are the best in the world at what you do. Phelps deserves every accolade that comes his way, hes a truly amazing individual for doing what he worked hard for and is able to do.
well obviosuly the atheletes don't go on the underground. They live in the Olympic village... Oflr where ever their sport is heldQuote:

EDIT: I can see the 2012 opening ceremony being just drive-by shootings and knife crime. The closing ceremony will just see the athletes being shot at.
