Have any of you noticed the 2012 Logo looks a bit rude?

Looks like Lisa Simpson giving head!

This comes up at every Olympics, if anyone can think of a way of distributing tickets that's universally accepted as fair and easy, I think the IOC would really like to know about it.

Bluepete: Someone said to me it looked like Joan Collins in the logo - I can't look at it now without laughing!

First come first served as in any other event, most major sporting events are over subscribed.

I think the Olympics will be great, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm at a conference at Lord's today and I've been looking after Jonathan Edwards, Guin Batten and Liz McColgan.

Jonathan Edwards is always interesting to hear speaking as I've been to events he's been at before. It's amazing the advances that have been made in training even since they started their careers.

We also have an Olympic historian speaking and he was talking about the drugs that used to be quite acceptable. One runner died after covering himself in wax and then he got so hot he boiled to death from his own body heat.

Thank you Sir Squid - so long as you contribute im happy, arguing is more like you tho ..

Bri -how did you do it ? what events have you got ? how much do you want ???

Hotel and restaurants charging even more over the odds etc.

I hope the weather is fine during the olympics and that way I can play out instead of it being rammed down my throat every time I turn the goggle box on.

Jealousy is a horrible thing Tim

Not all of us down here are happy about the games, or the fact that we paid extra for the privilidge of being advised to work from home, or stagger our travel times...

Best thing about it is the roads Should be fairly clear for the bimbling tribes.
For a couple of weeks!

The Olympics is going to cause me delays in getting to a from work on very overcrowded trains and tubes. Thousands more tourists getting in my way. My tube station being exit only when I need to get home. And probably more after this.

I did get beach volleyball tickets though.

Silver linings and all that...
