Does anyone else think the coverage is getting a bit much? I know it's exciting to have the Olympics here, but BBC News this morning was a joke - 30 minutes on sport and then 'oh, in other news, first pictures from the spacecraft that's just landed on Mars, multiple deaths in Wisconsin siege, and 16 killed in border attack in Egypt'.

Yes - and I'm totally bloody-well sick to death of seeing the frigging Duchess of Cambridge and Willie & Harry in the front row of every bloody event at the Olympics AND Wimbledon AND Ascot AND the Euro Football and I'm sick of being told (and shown) what she was wearing and what her sister was wearing and her mum and bla, bla bloody bla!!

There. That feels much better!

i'm generally not watching much of it this year, unlike previous olympics. i think where weymouth has been so preoccupied with the preparations for the last god-knows-how-long it really has ruined it for me. when i need to pop into town quick and can't because the entire seafront has been blocked off by armed military people for the sailing it kind of makes me not want to be part of it. bah, humbug!

That music doesn't really represent England. Where was XTC? The Fall? The Damned? No, we got One fucking Direction and a bunch of twats who've lost it.

Well, I think The Who were a good representation of British pop - even if there are only 50% of them left. Do The Damned even play together anymore? Doesn't Captain have a solo career?
