    from what I've seen elsewhere signing up to this site gives you nothing more than notifications. You won't increase your chances of getting a ticket.

    Good news, if you live in London and have been paying your Olympic tax, then you too get no preferential treatment.

    I don't have one best friend.
    I don't have one favourite sportsman.
    I don't have one favourite food.

    Whatever I select, I have to then provide an answer that will probably change with my mood. Today I may choose curry; tomorrow Chinese. Or chips.

    They should provide me with an option to submit my own question, or have a selection that includes more factual questions for which the answer won't potentially change over time.

    Still, signed up anyway. I just hope I don't actually need to remember what answer I gave. :D
    I'm a bit worried. I chose question 2 but didn't give a british olympian as the answer. I may have shot myself in the foot (I won't make the archery team, either)

    I did, I did! Can you guess which one?

    Oh no! Wait! Don't steal my tickets...

    Do you own a T-shirt on which you are giving him a good scalping? :wink:

    It's clearly a ploy by the anti-Armstrong lobby to generate a list of targets.

    Sadly, I reckon I'm a long way from being able to claim I'm a sportsman. :D I did once row in the British Indoor Rowing Championships in Birmingham though. Here's me in action:

    :lol:

    Mate, I'm no rower but your technique looks pretty abrupt. Shouldn't you flow more between the start and and positions, rather than some near instantaneous jump? ;)

    :D I'll have you know my technique got me sub-7 minutes for a 2K! (A popular target for novice ergonauts.) Can't do it any more, mind. I reckon I'd pass out trying to get under 7:30. :D
