I never thought I would be happy to say that, esp. as I was a very keen athlete at school and dreamed of being good enough to compete at a high level but everyday matters such as getting an education, a job and house saw to that.
But the hype, crass commercialism and mind-numbing right-on crap that is being poured out just sickens me.
I can remember when the BBC would produce a timetable of all events, you could see not only the high profile events but also the lesser known ones and therein lies the true Olympic spirit - people who compete to be the best they can be without the prospects of great fame or wealth.
Now it seems that beyond the 100 metres, football and tennis there is little else going on.
But, by recompense we will be in Southern Brittany - eventually it WILL stop raining and we will be in heaven.
