Naomi P Jul 2012 10:07am, 17 Jul 2012 10,199 posts	0 Naomi P So we haven't got a thread for this yet. Or have we? No, not the tickets thread. Here's a nice handy place to moan about transport woes, scoff at immigration queues, bewail the thought of beach volleyball players covered up in leggings and long sleeves due to the cold, marvel at the site of army camps blossoming in parks around the M25 (Hainault if you're interested), oh yes, and mention the odd aside about sporting victory. First one to post about Jess Ennis loses.

swittle Jul 2012 10:09am, 17 Jul 2012 18,666 posts	0 swittle My annual leave is cunningly booked to allow me a square-eyed extravaganza of sport, politics and hyperbole. scanned for J Ennis refs
Naomi P Jul 2012 10:20am, 17 Jul 2012 10,200 posts	0 Naomi P Just to be clear, I think Jess Ennis is wonderful and a brilliant hope for gold. But the poor girl is so over-exposed and she doesn't seem like an attention seeker. I keep meaning to count the number of times I see her on a poster / telly / in a field with double points if she's got those awesome abs out) but I keep losing count by 10am. I saw Mo Farah beat the Cube last night. That sounds more exciting than it was.

HellsBells Jul 2012 10:27am, 17 Jul 2012 12,395 posts	0 HellsBells random fact - my 2 older boys are taught games by one of the mens' hockey team and they were taught to swim by a gold medallist from 1972

I reckon Beckham ruling himself out is a cunning feint; him, Vicky and that whole brood of kids will do it jointly. Aaaahh how lovely voms wakes up sweating profusely Looking forward to the whole gig profusely, but will dodge the opening ceremony.
