Yes, as a long-term attendee of Green Man the last two Olympics are an integral part. I had a room in the Baskerville Hall Hotel with my family seven years ago with very bad TV reception and we were only able to hear, not see, Paula Radcliffe's breakdown in the Athens marathon. Was in a B&B in Crickhowell for the Beijing Olympics so was able to watch the morning's coverage, including the great coxless four rowing, before going on site. Hence, my concern about a possible clash.
No way am I not going to some Olympic events with it on my doorstep!

ha!
i promise you i'm really not!
sport just seems like a weird thing to watch
i can feature doing it
but watching it?
when there are so many books still to read?
plus the nationalism gets me down
along with the 50 quid minimum ticket price
not exactly a community event at that point, is it?
but really, hang out with me, get drunk, we'd have fun!
perhaps if it was a bit more
