I would, but the US media barely covers it. Most probably don't know that it even exists

I don't think it's as shown as much as the Olympics, but there is fairly good coverage. I haven't caught the news for the past few days so don't know if it's been mentioned in there though.

There are a number of the characters I don't like, for a variety of reasons.
But there are a few that I do, very much!
I'm curious which ones!
Like:
Lou & Andy
Carol ("computer says no")
Anne (as in Dr Lawrence & Anne)
Emily Howard and Frances
Vicky Pollard
Marjorie Dawes (Fatfighters)
Harvey & Jane ("Bitty")
Mr Mann & Roy
Mrs Emery (I so don't want to like this, but I do!)
Don't Like:
Bubbles etc and the whole health club/fat suits thing
Maggie & Judy
Daffyd
Dudley & Ting Ting
Ray McCooney
Sebastian & Michael (I so don't want to like this, and I manage that most of the time, but sometimes
it just tickles me, probably because of Anthony Head, who I like)
Letty
Re any other characters, I don't much care for them, but don't feel strongly against them, as I do the above.

I was just gonna ask the same thing, Roberta.
Manda, so far I think I like Lou & Andy the best. I'll have to see if I can find more on YouTube. No luck on Hulu.

It's especially "interesting" that this is being hosted by Beijing as well, because, let's just say, China isn't exactly well known for its positive attitude towards people with disabilities.
And they're leading the medal total. I was very interested as well because of the countries attitude toward disabilities. But it's all about image right?
Our coverage here isn't that great. They're only showing it on Saturdays, and doing recaps. It's better than nothing, but we can still do much better than that!

It's a shame countries don't show better coverage. This is the 2004 medals table. Some of the reasons why people are there are quite inspiring. They deserve recognition for that.

I just checked the Radio Times. Harry and Paul is being repeated on Monday night (BEEB 2, 10pm) so I'll watch it then ~ last time I tried to watch something on iplayer, I gave up because it just kept going slow... I've been watching 'The Children' so I could do with watching something light after that ~ I didn't realise it would be quite so dark.

So, how much is petrol there now? We're paying about $3.50ish a gallon, so that's .66 Euro cents per liter. OK, that might not be right....I had to use a few converters to get that amount. LOL

LOL, thanks! I saw pounds on there, but I thought it was to convert something that was in the past. I thought ya'll used Euros in Great Britain these days. LOL!

Nope. Hopefully never. I think it's a great shame that so many countries have lost the coin in favour of the Euro.

I totally agree. On both counts.
agapetos,
sorry I didn't see the Last Night of the Proms. Not really my sort of thing. (apart from the Doctor Who one! I'd have loved to have seen that!)
