BBC Olympic Coverage

[trueblue]

Why on earth is Gary Lineker the main man

Why not? They haven't got many 'generalist' front line presenters and he's immeasurably better than Gabby Logan.

Does anyone know exactly how many times Ian Thorpe used the word 'Look' at the start of giving his opinions?

Sadly, I lost count when it went into double figures.

I was listening to 5 live yesterday and the presenter said Boris Johnson was taking the Queen up the Orbit - thoroughly amusing

Freesat has 25 extra channels and bbc1 red button has multi choice olympic events.

Unfortunately I think freeview only has limited extra channels.

The important point for me here is that followers of less popular sports get the chance to see games in full - not just 20 seconds of highlights in the news if we happen to do well.

And yes the road race commentary was crap but at least cycling fans could follow the race in full.

It's not all good. I am being subjected to the dressage as I type !

If David Beckham emigrates to Australia to " finish " his career at Adelaide he would pretty soon be saying " Aw look, you know " every sentence

I would call it a LICENCE where as people from the colonies would say LICENSE.....

If highlighting the difference is not being pedantic what would you call it.

I think Ian Thorpe definitely has a thing for Gary Lineker - he was proper flirting with him yesterday evening - lol lol it was very funny
