Really glad its on, its only once every 4 years and if you really dont like it you can switch you tv off. Anyway there is barley anything worth watching on at the moment.

Personally its nice to see the minority sports getting some tv coverage

Don't panic. 'Cos it's in China, it should only be on overnight.

I might watch some, if there's nothing else on, and Pete isn't here to moan about me watching it

I'm looking forward to the protests-and-beatings events.

Personally I really enjoy watching the Olympics regardless of the sport. It only comes round every 4 years so its not like they ram it down our throats. Find it just as interesting in any other international sport.

Hovis yeah we do stand a good chance in BMX, there is a girl but I forget her name but she has been world champion in bmx for quite a few years so yeah come on bmx girl.

It's sport but not as I know it.

Since Hitler's olympics they have all been political. These ones are the worse. China should never have been allowed to host them.
Though it will be interesting if any "epic fails" happen.

Already had the f###ing hilarious torch ceremony, fire extinguisher? Someone buy that man a beer!

Beijing....just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,wrong.
Even mother nature has offered her protests against the venue

Green slime in the sea
Typhoon for the dressage
Thick Mist for the opening ceremony,

She'll probably keep throwing her two penneth in too, but it'll fall on deaf ears like the rest of the protests against China being host
