Not having much interest in people throwing things or running round in circles the Olympics doesn't interest me, and the attitude of some of the TV commentators irritates me, last time when the athletics started I recall a commentator saying "And now the proper Olympics begins" as if the only ones that count are track and field. The whole commercial and corporate side to it annoys me as does the egotistical self important attitude of the officials involved, like the guy who was livid that he was kept waiting 3 hours at passport control. Well so was everyone else just because you are an Olympic official ie organiser of a big sports day, does not give you special privileges. Don't get me started on the Olympic lanes.
So the mighty can glide past us plebs unhindered by the common people like a Soviet Commisar. Yet another money making scheme

The whole event is just a money machine and it's the tax payers that have to pick up the bill.
