For those grapes looking forward to watching certain events, please share on this thread

most of it seems to take place at unsociable hours

I think it's the opening ceremony this evening...anyone staying up to watch it?

That's a very handy link Nicos, thanks. If there's nothing better on I'll probably watch the opening ceremony. I will be watching some of the events. I quite like some of it, which is odd because I generally avoid sporty things.

Looking forward to watching some of the events and still managing my sleep!

Looking forward to Newcastle v Fulham tonight............................sorry, wrong thread............

I love the Limpics and will be watching as much as I can. Definitely the athletics and equestrian events plus swimming, rowing, cycling, gymnastics and tennis.

Actually it would be easier to list what I won't be watching... (Not a lot)

I loved London 2012 and took the 2 weeks off work and went to spectate at as much as I could, including super Saturday which was awesome!

[vixylix]

I love it - and I'm off work. I'll either take up nocturnal hours or record the bits I want to see

We will be watching what we can, love the Limpics too.
We went to the Paralympics in 2012 and saw all the best races. That atmosphere will never leave us.

I love the Paras as well, I also think that The Last Leg is brilliant.

Staying up past midnight to watch the opening - I don't think so!

[Nicos]

Well, I'm around most nights at stupid o'clock.fr...so will look forward to having a few more peeps to natter to!

[veggiechicken]

It won't be me, Nicos! Even if I'm awake, I shan't be watching the Olympics!
Could those of you who do watch, keep the noise down please

Multi-millionaire athletes, footballers, golfers and tennis players ... Drug cheats ...
BUT despite all that, the whole world coming together in friendship and peaceful competition is still a wonderful thing.
