    Since I have little more than a passing interest in the Olympics I must agree.

    As the the Lisa Simpson BJ logo ... :)

  • Well......
    To be honest, I know i'll probably get shot down for this next statement, but.....
    I'm sick to death of hearing about it , full stop!!:mad::mad::mad:
    I begrudge being TOLD by all the ' sporting embassadors ' how proud every person in Britain is to have the Olympics here.
    Sorry, not me, in fact I will be glad when its all over!!

    I can't really blame you to be honest. I don't really see what all the hype is over the olympics. In fact a recent survey revealed like 53% of brits weren't interested.
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    Smoke free since Jan 2014 :D If you want any advice on quitting please send me a PM. :)
  • No interest in it either.

    They keep telling us how many days until it starts. I just wanna know how many days until it's over and how many years until we've finished paying for it.

    Well said!!
    So glad its not just me!!:j
  • Not the slightest bit of interest in the Olympics here either, fortunately having no TV we have been able to more or less forget that it is on, have only been seeing the souvenir things and most of them are quite good for a laugh.

    i can understand why there's a plethora of adverts - the amount of money these companies pay to sponsor the olympics is enough to make your nose bleed.

    if i were them, i'd have my company & the olympics logo EVERYWHAR
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
