Yep - sounds good to me. And not unlikley either by all accounts:

"...Australia faces the grim prospect of its worst Olympics result in two decades.." sounds FANTASTIC! :rofl:

I cant wait to hear the winging and moaning and complaining about 'dodgy rules' or 'blatant favouritism' or whatever else the aussie media come up with to explain why 'their boys and girls' dont top the table in everything...

Smallest team too. Show's how much they care about the London Olympics. Could be comparable to Britains 34th place back in '96

Those of you that happen to have 3D TVs, and Freeview HD receivers capable of MPEG4, and who live in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, may like to know that the Nine 3D Olympics channel is now live for the duration. Mind they are showing the BBC package of ceremonies and highlights during the day only - which is a bit daft.

Channels to tune to, and other info in : http://nine.com.au/img/comingsoon/20...Technology.pdf

Re: The London 2012 Olympic Thread
 

Channel 9 is banned in my house. That said I is there was quite an interesting episode of the Mentalist on last night. Commercials every 4 minutes that went for 4 minutes. We just got so tired of the endless rubbish and switched over in the end. If I wasn't going to the games :thumbup:, Foxtel all the way.

Re: The London 2012 Olympic Thread
 

Since they are just running the Beeb package, you can hope that the 3D won't have adverts in it.

Well in anticipation of the fun and games in London I'm finishing my job on Friday and taking a month off before starting my new job I will be out of London the whole time in Scotland, Norway and Iceland.

Re: The London 2012 Olympic Thread
 

So what would be your favourite Olympic moments?

For me i think the 2 Ovett v Coe 800m and 1500m clashes at i think the Moscow games where each won the others favoured event, epic!

Re: The London 2012 Olympic Thread
 

The Ovett and Coe clashes were classic.

For me Daley Thompson in competition and whistling the anthem on the podium ... top bloke :D

The first openly-gay Olympian winning a Gold medal after performing the highest scoring dive in Olympic history! :thumbsup:
