I can't believe 34% of people would rather watch paint dry! I have had to extend the data on my iPad as I am glued to it

Well said

As someone who generally hates most things sporty, I have found it quite addictive this time around. I only have the standard terrestrial TV coverage, which is heavily focused on the local athletes of course but it has been cool to watch many different sports being played out.

And as an ex-Brit living in Australia, it is nice to be in a winning position for a change

And I agree, the facilities looks great. It is fantastic seeing places like Hyde Park, the palace's and other historical landmarks feature so much.

Nice work guys  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

I've surprised myself by how much I've enjoyed it. From a personal point of view it's been nice to hear people who've done so well speak in my own accent (e.g Micheal Jamieson) rather than the often posh accents of many. I know it's daft but it's nice to see people from similar backgrounds do well rather than just those who come from money who can afford to list 'archery' are their profession.

Just added side steps, replaced the yellow side lights & body coloured handle and wing mirror covers. Now for the spoiler!

Just to add a bit of sanity to this thread.

I can't believe only 34% would rather watch paint dry.
I have managed to ignore/miss the games, but then I usually fall asleep during any sporting event, even those that involve an engine.

I am happy for those that have put in years of effort, just to get as far as being selected for the games, being in the medals must be a very nice icing on the cake for them. But as a form of entertainment - please not on every channel, and not for most of the day. Some of us would rather work for free, go on Freel2, or cut the lawn 3 times a week. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Andy, the lawn mowers in the garage, I've left an iPad on the patio for you along with a flask and some sandwiches.

I feel like that when its football season

Can't believe there are only two day left of the Games.
I've enjoyed every minuite Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Agreed. It will hopefully leave an excellent legacy and the paralympics should be good too.

Usain Bolt was awesome just now in the 200m  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

The 800m wasn't half bad either with a new WR.

Fingers crossed for Reade tomorrow in the womens BMX.
She used to ride the same BMX track in Crewe as my lad, around some 10 years ago.
Even more reason to be glued to the telly. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I've enjoyed every minute of it. Have managed to get some ParalympicS athletics tickets so looking forward to that. Hopefully team gb will do well at these games as well. Wish I had 100th of the will power to achieve what some of our athletes have!
