You could not be more wrong MM.

Almost every sport is represented, is actually the problem. Its adopting sports where the olympic medal means very little to that particular sport, tennis, golf and football being examples.

If Boris Johnson doing the announcements on the train tonight is symptomatic of the Olympic spirit then please God let it be over soon!

Oh GG. I get the same reaction from my daughter.

Don't I appeal to any age group? :( :)

Sit down Mick, I have bad news.

NO.

On the plus side, you've at least got the smileys to work.

I dislike these games for the disruption they are causing and for the false sense of "everything's alright" that comes with it! I am now working for the NHS in Tower Hamlets with people in mental health crisis and our client group is increasing by the day with direct connections to the games, crowds, number of police, travel problems expected etc.

Pretty poor post MM - a touch of arrogance and superiority crept in didn't it? It is fine to think the Olympics are a load of BS you know!

And as for sports, the only ones I care about are football and cricket. Cricket is not included and the footy that will be contested is not real and has not even attracted ticket sales - so that tells you how rubbish it will be!

[The Minkey]

I don't like sport, I also happen to consider the fact ATOS are sponsoring the Paralympics to be obscene.

[the-e-dealer]

No one

[the-e-dealer]

Chess used to be in it. That I would watch

[Otta]

I'm not anti olympics, but I'm not particularly interested either, except for some athletics and a couple of other bits and bobs.

For me though, the whole thing is going to cause us a huge headache at work!

[the-e-dealer]

We had to move all our systems out of a Stratford data centre with a moments notice as the space was wanted for the limpics. Grrr.

[Alan Medic]

Perhaps if it sells the country well enough it may help the economy which would be no bad thing for a few weeks inconvenience.

[the-e-dealer]

Look gassing badgers has arrived in London stop your 6 form posturing and enjoy it. It doesnt happen very often.

[uncleglen]

The only people who benefit from sport are the people who do it. 'Watching' sport is crazy unless you can't actually move around yourself and then it must be very depressing to watch it!

[intexasatthe moment]

No you're not the only one who's not interested .

I bet people in Leytonstone are though - but not in a good way .

8am?? I wish! try 6:30am..in Can Wharf just 10 mins away from Stratford..so yes my journey will be affected.

[Chippy Minton]

Which proves my point!

If you're at your desk at 6.30am how the hell are the Olympics going to affect your journey to work? You'll be passing through London Bridge at 6am. I doubt you'll even notice any difference let alone it being "absolute bloody nightmare."
