Athens 2004 Olympics
#1

Wow, it's really crept up on me unawares, but did you know that the Athens Olympics is only 4/5 days away (depending on which timezone you're in Big Grin)??

Are you looking forward to it? Have you got your mascots and memorabilia out? What sport do you think you'll be watching the most? No doubt, Australian prime time TV will be dedicated to the Swimming, as Aussies generally do well in that.

Greek time is about 7 hours behind Melbournian time by my calculations, so we might be able to catch some stuff live... hooray! Big Grin
