Interesting comment Wysywyg, I don't agree with you therefore I am not welcome to put my point of view, I seem to recall a similar state of affairs bludgeoning in Germany in the 1930's.

If people want to watch the Olympics that fine by me, however I do find the constant reference to the event in everything from the BBC news to adverts for washing up liquid tedious.

My point of view is, I believe, as valid as anyone elses' or perhaps you consider that I should be shot because I have not gone along with all the hyperbole that has lead up to the games.

Cue Jessie Owens.
