Thoroughly enjoyed the Games, great show.
Was very cynical at begin with, and virtually everyone I know in London was too, but I was converted. It's been done brilliantly. Enjoyed it.
Bar some of the opening ceremony, it's been an excellent Games. Good job, London!
last nights belting national anthem, courtesy of Mo Farah, was simply a perfect end.
The penny just dropped when I was watching the olympics..........Billions of pounds spent on London,while the rest of the country suffers cuts.......London with all its tall edifices,that point skywards,not church edifices,they have been dwarfed, but the banking edifices that glorify their God.... MONEY.London is no longer a place for Londoners,it is Calcutta,Islamabad,Delhi ,Jamaica and all the hell holes of the world in one place,and it stinks....I mean it really stinks.It is the capital of disease,tuberculosis is once again rampant.Deviants are now the top dogs,even the government are bending to their ways.
If I had my way I would build a wall around London to keep them all locked in,I would allow the government to continue ruling London,but only London.The rest of England would have its own government,a different government,a government for the English.We would also have our own banking system,which would exclude the bank of England.Mainly we would control immigration,to suit our ways,not the scourge that has been foisted on us by London.....We are all being taken to the cleaners by Londons greed for money.......time for a major change in this country

I thought we'd embarrass ourselves
I'm genuinely so sad to see these Olympics end, ask me in April and I wasn't that arsed, knew I would watch and be interested but not too bothered, but from the opening ceremony I have been gripped an watched as much as I can as well as being bitterly disapointed to miss some moments like THE Saturday night and Wiggin's win but also been so pleased to have been able to watch the moments like Hoy's gold, Trott's gold, the Rowing, Murray's win, Mo Farah and I could go on.
The post games slump has already begun now and it is very sad to think I will almost definitely never see a games as enjoyable as this one personally, the british athletes have exceeded all expectations and more than anything I will miss that roar from the crowd when a Team GB athlete takes a medal or performs well, most likely never see that again.
Now we just have to see how the legacy of the games can be managed and what comes of all this success, I personally feel more desire to be involved in sport than I ever have but at 23 I'm too late to really make any great impact on anything and bar the odd moment I may take part and enjoy something the legacy isn't really aimed at me. Hopefully though enough young kids are inspired by the athletes on show at this games and in 10 or 20 years the effects can still be felt.
The legacy isn't just for the elite athletes mate ... it's to encourage the whole nation to get involved in sport and to improve their lives. I'm 22 but it's certainly inspired me to push myself a little bit harder when it comes to coming home from a long day and going out for a bit of fitness or sport. How long that'll last I'm not sure, but I'm sure it will change many lives for the good.
Yep, don't need it... have it in Paris.. I don't wanna pay for it. But it's been impossible not to be swept up in it.Was very cynical to begin with, and virtually everyone I know in London was too, but I was converted. It's been done brilliantly. Enjoyed it.
