    Olympics 2012

    Well as Stutts has pointed out it's ticket-paying-for time so eh, who's going and if you are what are you going/hoping to go to?

    I've applied for about 10 events, all highish profile but if I get tickets for Katie Taylor plus one other thing I'd be happy with my haul.

    I completely forgot about Boxing until I was throwing in my order. If I manage to bag any of the Irish lads in a boxing QF I'll be happy. however if I get lucky and get 100m final night then what can I say I'll be made.

    I've gone for 100m final night, I'd love to get that but to be honest if I had to choose between that and the Basketball gold medal game I'd take the latter.

    I've got something, not entirely sure what. Only €49.12 charged to me though so probably not anything good.

    I applied for lots and got allocated about £700 worth. Don't know what events yet, and don't know whether the missus got any yet either. I mainly applied for track and field (lots), road cycling, mountain biking and triathlon.

    I applied for badminton, soccer and tennis with a total of £340 and €155 has been taken from my card. Looking at it it seems the badminton and soccer. Happy enough with that.

    Didn't pick up diddly squat. And pretty much everyone I know lost out too. Looks like you've been fairly lucky to get some. Even missed out on the minor sports like handball and hockey

    Got women's boxing semis, womens football final and my wife got a great athletics evening session with 1500m mens final, 100m womens hurdles semis and final.

    I can apply for more tickets from 6th July but nothing very attractive left.
    I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
