I've watched loads but not quite 'everytime it was on'.

On the whole, i've been hugely impressed with it. The facilities have been amazing and the Chinese have really excelled themselves with everything on show.

I personally thought it would be a disaster and whilst it does nothing to improve China's extremely dubious human rights record or the freedom of information and speech for its citizens, the games have been a huge success in my eyes.

World records have tumbled. There has also been some amazing personal achievements for many of the athletes.

Team GB have done extremely well and have made me proud to be British....although i'm a little apprehensive when I think of 2012 as it will be London's honour to host the games. I have little faith in our Government and Olympic Committee of being able to stage a games which can compete with Beijing. The UK has put aside a staggering £9.3 billion to cater for everything and there is already talk of cutting corners.

I'm also dreading the handover ceremony in Beijing where the London organisers have been given an 8 minute slot to officially accept the challenge of hosting the games. David Beckham, a double decker London bus, a football, some Olympic cyclists and their bikes, some dancers, Robert Page and Leona Lewis do not combine to make a great spectable in my opinion
