Olympics Fatigue

It's a double edged sword.

In the lead up to the Athens Olympics I must confess I wasn't that excited. But then Ian Thorpe and the swimmers started winning races and I've been caught up in the TV marathon ever since. Not that I've been getting up in the middle of the night to watch Aussies win gold, that would be asking for too much trouble in my commuting lifestyle.

But then I'm an absolute sucker for watching Roy and HG and their unique take on the Games. So, even if I tell myself that I should have an early night, I'll find myself deciding to watch just a little more as each ad break arrives until its 11pm and the boys are about to present The Dream.

The trouble is that by that stage I often nod off on the couch...

So I've just about reached the stage where I'm honestly looking forward to the end of the 2004 Olympics so that my life can return to normal.

On the one hand I rather missed Roy and H.G. over the two weeks of the games. On the other, I didn't have to put up with Channel Seven's coverage and in particular the inane commentary of Messrs McAvaney, Roberts et al.
