In Response to Re: Is anyone going to the London Olympic games? Or what events are you looking forward to?: But in all serious JohnD - when you here that £60 million has been spent coverting Greenwich Park for equestrian events and that this all has to be dismantled afterwards the I, for one, think that is obscene. Posted by skyesteve Skysteve the British are famous about their organising skills and their precision and punctuality. I think that they will find the way all this story to be in their economic favour in the end . So enjoy the games as no human has the opportunity to be so close to a such a big athletic event and see athletes of this level . |

Im sure Steve that politicians wil argue that the Games will bring business to the UK. But I could not possibly comment! And wether it will "inspire a generation" hasyet to be seen. But The Apollo programme cost more and so did the zChunnel Its really not worth being a Mr.Gradgrind. |

Archery, Since I am an Amateur Archer myself, certainly not Olympic caliber, but I enjoy the sport none the less. DuaneF |

Odysseus wanted to watch fencing. THe BBC is offereing TWENTY SIX CHANNELS of Olympic Sport. Tonight Channel 19 was Fencing. What's more, Odysseus, it's online! See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/bbc2012/gamestime/digital.htm for that nice Mr.Lineker to explain it for you. And your merest wish, O Aged Demigod, is our command.

Went to the tennis at Wimbledon yesterday. Such a pity to see so many empty seats, mostly in the best spots and despite officially being 'sold out'. Centre Court was about 90% full for Andy Murray but just over 50% for the other three matches, despite the persistent rain meaning non-Centre Court ticketholders barely got to see any tennis at all, and so many applicants being unsuccessful at the ballot. That's no way to 'Inspire a generation!'. I hope they fill these with Gamesmaker volunteers or put the tickets up for resale in future. On the plus side, it was amazing seeing athletes in the flesh - never had a chance to see live tennis before. I have a newfound appeciation of their poise, power and grace. |
