Yes it does matter to me, these are the London games, Paris failed in their bid.

Same sentiment here. Some traditions are good. Some are just annoying.

I assume you're both annoyed when English is used in pretty much every environment even if the Brits aren't involved. Think about it for a second. In Beijing English was before mandarin. In all Euro football English has precedence over the local language, etc etc

The most widely spoken language on the planet is in fact Mandarin english comes in second.But the only reason mandarin is, because its based on it being the most populated country on the planet.Compliments of google

Watching the weight-lifting at the moment. Anyone else laugh every time they mention the Women's Snatch? They then talk about the Clean and Jerk, which sounds like something the male audience could be doing whilst watching it all!!

Yeah, the event is a quality double entendre-fest.

Though in fairness you'd have to be a bit fucked in the head to get arroused by the man-beasts in the "women's" events... as in - her beard went all the way from her chin to her bollocks...
