    Okay, so After Hours doesn't usally do sports threads, barr the odd exception. But with only 11 days* to to one of the biggest sporting fortnights on the earth, and with what is preety much a Home Olympics for us, well its the closest it will ever come here. Prehaps its appropiate that the good folks of After Hours post all their thoughts, amusing observations, the scandel, and prehaps even the odd result here.

    So here we go, you excited yet?

    *9 days till the Football competition

    PS. COME ON KATIE TAYLOR!!

    Load of bollocks. 'Oooh, I can run faster than anyone else!' Great, but how useful is that, exactly?

    Very, if you're being chased.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Statements like this are why Sports and After Hours don't mix.

    "ooh I can kick a leather sphere around better than everyone else"

    "ooh I can hit a smaller leather sphere with a stick better than everyone else"

    "ooh I can cycle for hundreds of miles better than everyone else".


    Get where Im coming from? By your logic all sport is pointless and useless.

    I'm looking forward to it! I like getting to watch all the random sports that you never usually see :) When I was younger I used to look all the countries the athletes came from in the atlas :o but it helped where knowing where countries like Turkmenistan or Cape Verde are, a skill which has certainly helped me out through the rest of my life >.>

    Any chance of getting power squirting into the olympic games.

    I think Cytherea's fanny would grace any stage

    It's little more than a massive transfer of wealth from the public to the private.

    £16 Billion pounds at a time of austerity? ****ing madness.

    I cant wait.

    It is a superb opportunity to perv at scantily clad athletic young women. Diving, Tennis, Gymnastics (the legal ones of course) and a whole host of other lovely ladies

    Ha, coming from someone who will watch it for obsession reasons and absolutely not perving...China's team are all legal this year, USA have 3 16 and under, same with Romania. Russia have 2 16, 1 17. Just so you know. I don't get why it's worth perving over..the vast majority have no figures at all?

    It's the greatest show on earth. I can't wait to see the world's best competing. People who don't get it, or who don't see the "use" are thoroughly depressing.

    no jumpin in dressage, it's just dicking about on a horse while wearing a coat and top hat.

    fag in one hand (is that political correctness) can in the other, ball bag getting groomed a lot more than normal, and to prove I have what it takes I will not shower or bath for the full duration of the games,

    im guessing I will not get to many interruptions coming up to the main finals.
