Can you feel that Olympic spirit in the air?
It's generally characterised by a combination of the following symptoms:
~ Becoming glued to the TV, watching every event you can at all hours of the day and night... and then watching it all again when they show the highlights packages!
~ Knowing the medal tally off by heart.
~ Becoming an expert on the rules of a bunch of sports you've never watched before, let alone played.
~ Being in a good mood for the entire time the games are on.
~ Having to book yourself in for therapy right after the closing ceremony, to help you cope with Olympic withdrawal symptoms.
If you suffer from any or all of the above symptoms, then there is only one cure... The Olympics!
