Dear channel 7 commentary team

* Not all Finns are Flying. Some are no doubt fat, feisty, floppy, furious and/or fabulous.

* Don't mention the war. Any war.

* Don't make fun of large/tall/fat/short/pale/dark athletes. It's rude.

Ah, Bruce -apologise for insulting the big guy and then make a joke about him.

Thanks for the warning about the bastard Ch7 commentary team. I haven't watched Ch7 for years.

I reckon I'll head over to SBS tomorrow instead. Some women are playing soccer apparently. And basketball. Also, the SBS guide is more useful - they actually name the sport, rather than just saying "olympics".

And I believe SBS are covering the equestrian events too.

We coped with 7's commentary by drowning out the sound at our get together with a champagne induced commentary of our own. :)

And bikes. Yay! My viewing plan is going well so far.
(sbs tv guide here, although I haven't found an olympics schedule yet.)

I haven't found any equestrian in the next week's worth of SBS coverage, just a mention buried in the hopelessly unscheduled Ch7 coverage. Looks like we'll have to record masses of it and trawl :-(

I'm not surprised - I have to do it every four years, and at least digital makes the searching and editing process easier this time around!
