Default why on earth do we have to watch AFL and miss out on Olympia

with disbelief I realised I won't be able to watch synchronised diving, instead another stupid AFL match was broadcasted. I'm so sick and tired of this AFL, not a single news coverage without it.

That's what disgruntled viewers had to say

I am going to configure my internet so I can watch via the BBC website.

Channel 7's "Coverage" is just awful. Very amateurish.

Do you think that Rudd could pull of the part of King Leonidas convincingly?

I think they should also totally ignore the Olympics to show this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lan...e_Forgot_(film)

Its because they have a contract to show it with certain sponsors and they have to do it.

I like SBS better.

So far, so good. I am on target to meet my objective of not seeing a single minute of the olympics, not even on the news. Of course AFL takes priority - the season is reaching its finale.

Oh and while we are at it can we not have adverts every 10 mins? How can Quantas be proudly Australia when half of it is owned by foreign investors?

Maybe the should say proudly Australian(ish)?

We had the synchronised diving over this side and flaming impressive it was too. The Chinese were amazing. The young British lad was damn good too and hot according to my daughters

He was saying in an interveiw that he is always followed around by Chinese women and girls, he doesn't know why but they are very nice. What a sweet kid.
