Re: London 2012 summer olympics.

I haven't fully embraced the Olympics. I watched the flame go through my town and the opening ceremony but I don't really like watching the actual events and I haven't been swept up in the hype and excitement of it all. I am glad we are doing so well though.

Thats how I feel about it really. I also don't like the over-hyping of people we've never heard about until the Olympics began - the coverage is overly reverential for me, unctuous even - but its good to see Englishmen and women happy about their nation for a change...

I am not English, but I am British and I have always been and always will be proud to be British and will support our countrypeople whenever they need it.

Yes its had its problems but overall its been a great success.

its really been obne of the friendliest games.

volunteers have done a fantastic job.

two of my fave moments where with tom daley and jade jones.
jade in here semi final win in the taekwondo looks too the the heavens and said this is for you mum broiught a tear to my eyes.

and tom daley who recently lost his dad they both showed such courage.
see its not all about winning medals its about courage as well.

I enjoyed it this year, wish I could've got tickets for something but unfortunately couldn't afford it.

But I am hoping to go to the commonwealth games in 2014.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the games and it was a thrill when team GB got those gold medals

Same here, especially after the media seemed to think it was going to be a complete disaster.
