So glad I've got the basest of based BBC coverage to watch, and a new TV to drink it in.

This. The iPhone app looks pretty crap on an iPad
There's not a lot of difference between the BBC mobile site on the iPad and the app for the iPhone to be honest.
Even the full BBC Sports website seems to be optimized for the iPad.

The torch is coming through the city Thursday morning, and our boss has agreed that we can all disappear for 1/2 hour or so to go see it. Woohoo!
Didn't see this posted:

ITT we find that most of Gaf never went on holidays to Greek islands as teenagers. People fuck lots there but it's mostly average, drunken one on one sex while your roommate tries to sleep, not some roman orgy / porn shoot.
Tha Olympic athletes like the attention (they don't get it for another 4 years) so happily let the exaggeration continue.
To clarify: people fuck a lot but you are not missing out on the deleted scene from Caligula.

Thanks

I am so, so excited! Got to see a bit of the Olympic venues back in March when I visited London. Took this from the store in John Lewis (bought a Team GB bag and a keychain or something like that while there):
The Summer Olympics are by far my favorite sporting event. The next few weeks will be utterly fantastic.

Oh London.
Non-shock.
I am so bummed that my sullen faced secret love Guo Jingjing is not diving for China in this year's games. She always looked so sad, and yet her diving was so graceful.
Any orgy sightings?

http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/london2012/index.html should be added to the first post. It's the official streaming website of the European Broadcasting Union. They'll show streams of the individual events as well as streams of every member station. The site was pretty awesome during the 2008 Olympics (especially if you want to follow niche sports such as Archery).
And best of all it'll work across Europe.

Off next week so it will be nice to sit down and watch a few events. I'm guessing most of it will be streamed on iplayer?

I think the BBC are doing 24 live streams including the usual BBC 1 'best bits' coverage. They are showing everything.
God damn that got me hyped for table tennis. I always forget just how small the table is compared to the amount of open space they have in the play area.

Correct. BBC streaming is UK only.
BBC 1 and BBC 3 are pretty much wall to wall Olympics coverage. Predominantly live stuff, but with highlights mixed in as the live events go on fairly late. BBC 3 is becoming a 24 hour channel for the duration (it's normally only starting from 7pm).
There's 24, live, HD streams of everything throughout the games - and you can also get those on Sky/Freesat/Virgin, but not Freeview. And they're available with connected TV and mobile apps (including PS3, possibly).
I'm sooo excited. The torch relay was so much fun, saw it both days and we had a huuuge overnight celebration in the city and it was absolutely fantastic.

AMAZING
You can tell it was 2008 because Viva la Vida is playing. Table Tennis is one of the olympic highlights.

And although this is the Olympics rather than the Paralympics thread, I feel this is a good chance while everyone's throwing love in for sports to big up Wheelchair Rugby, which is my new favourite sport since I saw it on the telly earlier this year.
(I said big up, I'm so hip)

Looks like something out of an episode of Dr Who.
Watch that video and look how the Asian players always push back the other players. It's amazing.

The velodrome, which is the best looking venue imo:

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I'm interested to see how well China will do, and if they can do it without raising any suspicion of cheating.
