Olympic fever,or not...

[Liquid Tension]

No Olympic fever here. I have not cared for the games since they removed steroids from competition. I enjoyed watching the huge U.S.S.R. weight lifters do super human feats.

Yep, gotta admit, those women were amazing!!

I voted for Paris to have it. I can't see the Olympics in the UK being anything other than a national humiliation.

Since London's public transport system can't cope with unexpected events - you know, like people wanting to go home from work between 5-6pm - it's hard to see how it can possibly cope with the huge influx of extra people for the Olympics.

I can only imagine with the way the British press acts. At the last Winter games here in Vancouver, they were all over the city and organization for the first few days. Then all of a sudden the sun came out and it turned into a great couple of weeks.

Still, it was an expensive exercise mind you, and the Summer games tend to be an order of magnitude bigger than the Winter games.
