I cannot get enough. What is it about the Olympics that makes us watch hours of sport that we would at any other time loathe? I allowed a cycling road race to remain on my television all day Saturday and I actually watched a fair bit of it. I hate cycling.

I am currectly watching Judo…JUDO, for God’s sake. OK, now I don’t know how this Hungarian -Aussie Pekli has not won every tournament she has ever competed in. She is one scary lookin woman. If I had to meet her on a Judo mat, I would lay down and hand over the medal without letting her lay a hand on me. Surely scariness is a big factor in beating your oponents?

I am not happy that Sean has taken off just as Australia and Canada are playing each other in the hockey. Oh the joy I am missing out on by us whipping their Canuck butt.

What’s not to love about The Olympics? There are words spoken such as repechage, peloton, coxless, womens trap, birds nest and the noodle.

I love to hate the ads that will plague our TVs over the next 2 weeks..I’m already sick to death of granny in the suitcase and that Queen song. I love it.

When can you ever watch Synchronised Swimming other than in the Olympics? Does it even exist outside the games? What is it about watching swimmers do laps that makes me want to eat Uncle Toby’s products? Why the hell is Tom the Chippie commentating on the Slalom? Why do I get such enjoyment when anyone beats the Americans? Where are Roy and HG? Oh so many questions!
