    why am i not surprised you watch man vs food. i only discovered it quite recently and i must say it is quite addictive. makes your mouth water all the time

    Them shows are part of the Meditation! So much of our enjoyment of food isn't actually ingesting it. Those shows and Just walking Past McDonalds can get you by some days!

    lol lol, well if you are entertaining for lunch i can't see any reason why your guests would expect to still be there at 4pm, unless they think you are offering them dinner as well.

    Well people...the fever is in full effect for me and right now I am trying to be extra busy at work (while still checking MFP...LOL) because come 2:30pm the latest I am bolting out of here to watch the opening ceremony from the comfort of my home. There is a working tv in my office but I dont want to have to miss anything when I have to leave here at closing time and drive home. That tv and the computer will come in handy as of next week when I shall be "working hard and not paying attention to anything olympics"...lol...or so they think.

    lol...I didn't even pay attention to the shoes. I saw on Facebook where Bolt is bigging up the clothes so I suppose he likes it.

    I know of track and field events (the usual running, plus steeplechase, discus, triple jump, long jump, shot putt and decathalon), equestrian, swimming and taekwondo. I dont think the rifle shooting person will be there this year.

    let me know the schedule for these other events apart from track and field that JA will be participating in so i can look out for it. i know there's some swimming taking place this morning

    As long as a Jamaican win I am cool though i have a slight preference for Bolt. I don't think the world is ready for the new kid just yet.....they love Bolt too much...

    Asafa looking good these days. but muscles don't win races all the same :bigsmile: . I think it would be nice for Bolt to win at his last Olympics and then Blake can take over next time.

    I heard rave reviews about the Queen's sketch and Mr. Bean, but didn't see much of the opening ceremony (thought that it would be boring :blushing: ).

    I would like to see Asafa get a medal but it is unlikely he will get gold or even silver in the 100m with Bolt and Blake plus Gay and Gatlin.

    I enjoyed the opening ceremony but I am assuming that if you are not British or living in Britain you probably wouldn't get some if it. I liked the whole industrial revolution concept plus the whole music/dancing section. The only bit I didn't quite get was the nurses/docs and kids from the Great Ormond Street Hospital. I understand they were paying tribute to the NHS but still I got a little bit lost. Overall a great performance in my opinion:laugh: and indeed very British:smile:
