I know China shouldn't have had them, and that most of the atheletes are on drugs, but I'm actually quite looking forward to it starting. Am I alone?
The Olympics
I really can't think of anything I care less about.
Mmm. My dad will be glued to the TV for... how long do they last?
I dunno. Some of the sports are more watchable than others I suppose.

Do they still have the ladies' beach volleyball?

Yes. Although I'm not sure what the beaches are like in China.
I want to see that 13 year old boy diving!
That's pretty impressive.

He actually annoys me. I hope he gets an unwanted erection before his dive.
Haha!!
Well he will have just been in the changing rooms with a lot of very fit men. So who could blame him.
Divers really are bloody fit, y'know...
*daydreams*
*but not about the 13 yr old*
*just to make that clear*

At that age almost inevitable, I should think. Hang on, that's not why zooo
He'd bounce off the board twice, the poor sod.
The Olympics are strangely addictive. Even stuff I know is boring like the rowing draws me in if Britain are doing well. So I'll be working from home for the next few weeks 
I love all the sports you only ever see at the olympics, like shooting or kayaking. And I love that the people doing these events aren't professional athletes, but rather doctors and accountants and ordinary joes.
We coulda been contenders. 
If only we'd picked a really random, obscure sport.
I could watch the Olympics for seconds. No, that's a lie, I couldn't, I hate it.

Good luck for the next four weeks then.
