To be so bored with the olympics

[Atinybittiredandsad]

Really so these people have basically spent hours doing a hobby they enjoy. Why does that make them heroes or role models anymore than footballers or cricket players.

Happy for them and all that but what a fuss.

So glad my kids were never that obsessed and generally only joined things to get the uniform 'dd ballet/tap' or just kick a ball around the park.

I can't imagine why any parent would get up at 4am on a Saturday to drive miles to any competition once let alone frequently. Ffs weekends are for chilling.

Nowt wrong with a park kick about or a family swim and them home for DVDs and mummy/daddy wine time.

And to add insult to injury was woken up at 4am by Sky app telling me some bloke had won gold. Who fucking cares aye.

Watch Winners with Denise Lewis on iplayer
Ah thanks for that :)

I'm looking for role models to inspire my girls. Youngest DC loved watching Mo Farrar on iplayer!

The men's diving!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes last night I just put it on to see if anything interesting was happening, no real specific interest. The TV cameras followed the men to the showers after the dive. A few of them were adjusting their micro shorts and their bits in full view of everyone. I was a bit goggle eyed to be honest, not seen anything like it before.

I also caught the end of the women's rugby, Canada vs UK, and even though I know SFA about rugby I was really impressed.

I checked tonight and it's football - boooooooring.

I can't stand soaps, talent shows or so-called '' tv, so I don't watch them.

Perhaps those who dislike the Olympics could try a similar approach?

I don't know these Olympic Games seems to be flat.

What a weird thread!
