Just listening to earnest debate on the radio about the riots and what effect it could have on the Olympics.

I couldn't give less of a toss about two weeks of skipping and jumping and all that and I'm not sure that I know anybody who does.

How about the rest of you Biscuits? Are you all moist with anticipation?

Apart from the beach volleyball, couldn't give a toss.

If you get my drift.

I have a nagging feeling that I ought to be brimming with pride, desparate for British golds, distraught that I haven't got tickets etc etc. But I'm not.

Can't remember who said it but I understand Beach Volleyball is great for hand-eye coordination....

I was always really good at running, jumping, skipping and twirling bits of ribbon at school, but am more interested in the last fart I had than the Olympics.

I have paid for four tickets for the women's volleyball, so I guess by that gesture I'm giving a fuck about the Olympics. I also have tickets for the men's soccer at Wembley.

If I'm honest, I do give a fuck about the Olympics. I'm not going to burst anything in anticipation, but I am looking forward to the atmosphere and the spectacle. And it may not change Britain forever, but I reckon it will encourage kids to take part in sport, actually. Maybe I'm not jaded enough for this game.

I'd be more interested if, for the 100yrds final, they picked dads from the relevant nationalities out of the audience. Mums, of course, for the women's version.

Well it won't be here again in our lifetimes, so worth trying to get in if you can. Sadly they didn't put any events in Herefordshire.

Amazed how excited colleages are by this. "Oooh! We're got tickets to the quarter-finals of the tiddlywinks" etc. "A snip at £80 a seat."

Yawn!

I stopped caring when they made it happen every 2 years instead of four (i.e., winter and summer separately). It seems to come around way too often without any possibility of anticipation building up.

Jeni, I'm sure you ahve the "Mrs. Dalloway" of farts, so they must be rather interesting.

Remember all the 'it won't happen again in our lifetime' bollocks about the Millennium? Nothing happened. Anyway, Des Jnr got himself a pair of tickets for the mens' 100m final, which is reasonably cool. He's taking his mum, because she's worth it.

Master Custard taking his mum to the 100m final is the coolest thing I've heard all year. Just saying. And Shitsu, you start the most interesting topics.

At the risk of swimming against the tide I will be captivated by every moment. My kids will be feral for a fortnight and I will be viewing round the clock, including sports I don't even yet know the rules of (Cycling Madison anyone?). I do have tickets for evening of the 200m final which hopefully will be the icing on the cake.

If you're a sports fan you're probably looking forward to it. If you're not, you're probably not. That's my theory.

I am, so I am, which I think proves it.

Couldn't care less about the Olympics. If a bunch of grown ups want to have a sports day then they should pay for it themselves. It's just a chance for the free loaders for the Olympic committee to get the world's taxpayers to fund them in a five star jaunt arond the planet.

All that leaping about and bean bag chucking what a yawning bore - still should be able to make a few bob renting out the house / driveway - enough to bugger off out of it whilst the hoi-polloi thrash their way through the congestion!!!
