    The Irish Olympian - do they have to run under the tricolour or could they have represented another country?

    I was actually going to ask that too but I said I better not chance it.

    I love the Olympics. Watched the entire opening ceremony from London 2012 last Friday night.

    BBC and Eurosport have been doing reruns of the sports too.
    If we're talking about 2012, I have to show off. My tickets hanging on my wall...

    It's not like you are giving away a possible answer there or anything. :D

    Never been to the Olympics, but I've kept every concert ticket I ever went to. Should probably do something nice to present them like those Olympic tickets.

    Administrative error :p

    I got a couple in the UK ballot but not much. I then read that every EU country has to sell to any other and bought loads from Holland. Thing is, their website crashed when I paid so I bought a load more from them, only to find out both went through! I was so broke but it was completely worth it in the end, I had an amazing couple of weeks :)

    Hi Montage

    Simply PM myself a list of your answers to the questions in the OP (un numbered, preferably but it doesn't really matter)

    Hi Necro. Do you mean numbered?

    Thanks for letting me know. Now that I know how to enter, I'm going to win this. No point anyone else entering. :)

    Oh ok, I won't number them.

    False confidence. I'll probably come last. Expect answers in the next few minutes.

    Ah, I remember when I had hopes and dreams like this :pac:

    It's the most infuriating game. You'll avoid obvious answers because they're, well, obvious. But then everyone will and they'll score nothing. But then you'll think that so go for them, but then so will everyone else so it'll score high that time. Everyone that plays this game is the worst :p

    Wrong answers score 1.5x the top answer so it varies how much they hurt. I don't think you'll be alone in this one, few tough questions!

    If you have yet to find any grey hairs, MoH, you will by question 10 of the reveal. These games are a rollercoaster of emotions.

    I also suggest joining the waiting list for SA (sheeps anonymous) as you’re gonna be hooked! And every time those farmers post in their sheep thread bringing that thread to the front page of boards, you’ll automatically think it’s a new game here and get really excited. That’s when you need Sheep’s Anonymous most.

    2012 is by some distance the best event I’ve ever attended. Saw Katie T against the English lady, saw Rudisha in his 800m heats. The buzz around London is like nothing I’ve ever experienced
