Must admit I am totally bored by all the hype it is getting on BBC already. The other day 100 days to go and it was all over the tv all day. So what, there are 100 bloody days till it starts for christs sake. It will be a letdown anyway, probably be wet and miserable and we won't win as many golds as expected (cycling and rowing apart) and it will be a total waste of money.

Once it starts I will enjoy it, but we have had 7 years of it on the Beeb telling us all sorts of worthless information like the first brick has been put in place or the turf has been laid at the Olympic Stadium. It begins to annoy you when there is so much other more important stuff going on.

I reckon 'The Games' was up there...but 'The Dream' was very funny. Would love to see a return for London.

I couldn't believe it when I read about that. 26, fit as a fiddle has a heart attack and is gone. Wow.

Purely speculation, but surely something has to be off? Whether it be drugs or there was a genetic health issue. Because how the **** do you die of a heart attack at 26 when you're an Olympic athlete?

Stress would have to be a contributing factor you would think.

RIP. Very sad I hope he is remembered in some way during the Games.

Apparently the exercise required tears the heart and causes scarring.

Probably was some genetic thing involved there, but the training may have heightened the chance of it happening.

Alex. :(

Have Channel 9 started doing ads for it in Australia yet?

A guy I know is in a band which has a song which has apparently has been chosen as the song for the Olympics on channel 9. Churchy, but a solid guy nontheless.

Ahhhhh London.

Your weather is ****; your streets are narrow and crowded; your transport system is a confusing hodge-podge of interconnecting rides on crushing buses and subways; and most of your inhabitants are gloomy and unsmiling as they go about their business.

But it's the great city of the world. a cracking joint. What great time it would be to live or visit there. Love the joint.
