Heart- lifting
And awe-inspiring...It's a pity the modern Olympics have lost the true spirit of amateurism, and are more concerned with chasing filthy lucre-I'm a Londoner, and am already heartily sick of the self-propagation and self-congratulation we've already seen, and the opening ceremony isn't for another 48 hours!..In 1948, these were the austerity Olympics, not just for GB, but for most of the competing countries-perhaps we should take a leaf out of their book, and get back to what counts-the athletes' performance, not the ridiculous freakshow it has become-still perhaps after this 2012 Olympiad has finally bankrupted our economy, we can go back to food & fuel rationing to pay for it all!..
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
