Is it just me who's excited about the 2012 Olympics? Everyone I meet seems to have a downer about them, you get that typical London little sigh, rolling eye and raised eyebrow. Now, I'm not the world's biggest enthusiast for organised sport, I don't mind it, but I don't love it. But the Olympics aren't just about sport, they're about new and unusual things, cultural things. If you're in London in 2012 you'll have an unparalleled opportunity to get up in the morning, and go out and do things you've never done before and will probably never do again. You'll be able to go to a velodrome, you'll be able to see shooting and fencing and handball, every day for weeks there'll be tons and tons of new and interesting things; diving, kayaking, a presumably lunatic opening ceremony. When do you get to do that? I am very excited.
