The London Olympics
I know we have a sports section...I thought we could take a more intimate approach to the upcoming Olympics in England.
Minz, beowulf, Leefro, Lambchop, Redred, Goofy (Englander by proxy), doenutts and all of the other British forum members...we'll be counting on you to give us behind the scenes updates and stories of interest
See you on July 27th
Can't wait

I wonder if China is going to send the 13 year old child girls Olympic team this year?
Well I figured I may as well join in
Damn Patriots..
As GF can attest to, it was fun being in the middle of the carnival-like atmosphere when the Olympics were in Vancouver. Birks (fancy jewelry store) had 2 Astronauts (Stafford and Cernan from Apollo 10) there to introduce a new watch. It was incredibly cool to hear them recount their flight to the moon.
And, there were bands playing and many people high-fiving you just for no reason. My most fun was meeting some of the atheletes on the Skytrain (not all of them stayed in the village...some of them after their event wandered about) and talking to the families who'd come all this way to see their kid perform in the Olympics.
This one lady in particular showed me her camcorder footage of her son prepping and then the event, which was very cool to see.
