 Dull answer is dull
	Dull answer is dullbut somewhere between the two. We are, once again, caught in between the two press extremes of the flag waving 'It's Amazing and We're the best' and 'We are so fucking shit' brigades.
It might have some long term benefits, it will also have some negatives, but it is just The Olympics. If you like sport, you'll enjoy it and accept the disruption. If you don't like sport, you'll resent it.

I honestly wanted to be one growing up, and if I didn't have a skillset at all, I wouldn't probably look towards becoming one. How the fuck do you train to be a train driver anyway? I mean, it's not like the local collage can teach you. It's probably the only job I can think of that doesn't need any kind of formal qualifications or phsyical skill that is so high paying.
I find pies, 90% of the time, dull and borring. I love the filling on a mcdonald's apple pie, banoffee is my fave though, I fucking love banoffee. If we're going savory, then I'd go for my own home made steak'n'ale.
