This is a normal post I hate to admit it,
but after 7 years of alternating between indifference about the Olympics and a positive desire for it to be an utter failure, I'm enjoying the Games immensely.

And the opening ceremony was utterly superb. I watched it on the big screen at the Old Naval College in Greenwich, and had a fantastic time.

A lot of people i know won't admit they're enjoying them as they've slagged them off for so long and want to save face, i'm loving them, off to a few things later today and tomorrow.

This is a normal post I'm off to see some water polo on Sunday.
My brother (who plays) had some spare tickets from the first ballot, so I thought, "Sod it; might as well, just to tell the grandchildren,"* but without really wanting them for their own sake.

But the closer this weekend gets, the more I'm looking forward to it. I might even spend Saturday at the Olympic park watching the screens and soaking up the atmosphere.

*Pffft. Like that will - or should be allowed - to happen... There's quite enough breeding among the ugly and intellectually subnormal already, without my contribution...

This is a normal post My enjoyment of the Games
has absolutely nothing to do with the aesthetic qualities of Victoria Pendleton, Jess Ennis or Keri-Anne Payne.

NOTHING. Those qualities don't even contribute.

This is a normal post Her surname
always puts me in mind of a pair of comically bungling detectives.

Either that, or that her family owns most of Suffolk.

This is a normal post I only own one flag.
It's a hammer-and-sickle one.

I wonder whether I should take it and wave it? I might get on telly.

This is a normal post I'd like to watch the opening ceremony, but I just haven't had time recently
It's been a lot nicer since the sport actually started, with the general mood switching to a competitive excitement, rather than the dismal rage that preceded it.

Still haven't watched any of it, but I'm just never that interested in watching sport. (F1 highlights don't count, that's more like a video game)
