I Can Feel It Building Up But .....

...the hype surrounding the London Olympics. I really don't care or have any interest in the 2012 games and i don't care whether it's held in this country or not.

Get into the spirit man! The games can only be successful if the locals actually get behind it and support the damn thing.

Van Hellseek · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:42

Not a sport person so couldn't care less about it.

All it means to me is cost to the taxpayer.

Not arsed.

Same, I dont care but i know it will give our economy a boost

When it gets closer though you will not be able to escape it...

Another meh.

I agree. I will be trying my best to avoid London during the games.

Could'nt care less about it to be honest. I have no interest at all in sport outside of motor racing. Seems a waste of billions of pounds of our money to me.

I'm looking forward to it - I live in the Stratford area, it'll be interesting if it does anything to gentrify East London a little.

Guerrilla · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:49

Love the Olympics get excited every time they are on, the fact it's in London isn't making it feel any more special though yet.

That said I don't live anywhere near so may aswell be in a different country

Think of all the disruption it'll cause. The road cycle course goes right past my office, so I guess it'll be closed for a week beforehand to make sure terrorists don't plant any IEDs on the route. They'll also have to resurface all the potholed roads which will cause major traffic disruption - at least it's London taxpayers paying not me.

I am looking forward to the increase choice of prostitutes that will be available for the duration of this sporting fest.

Russinating · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:57

Clearly if you're not into sport then you're not going to be interested by it :rolleyes:

. But I don't see how that's relevant in any way?

GravyMonster · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:58

Another meh from me.

The olympics/world cup are all just wet dreams for marketing men to hook their brands to. McDonalds official 'restaurant' of the 2012 Olympics. Coke official non-alcoholic drink of the 2012 Olympics. **** off.

Plus the IOC are as crooked a bunch of people as you can imagine.

This basically sums up how I am viewing it, could just as easily be Paris or elsewhere and I wouldn't notice any difference.

Ahleckz · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:59

I feel the same and also the same about the Commonwealth Games. It's happening just round the corner from me but I couldn't care less. A great waste of money, time and effort.

arc@css · 17 Jun 2011 at 13:59

The only time I think about it is when someone reminds me of its existence.

Terminel · 17 Jun 2011 at 14:02

Not interested!

Rameses · 17 Jun 2011 at 14:05

I'm not into the Olympics but it will be good for us on the world stage & and most importantly financially.
