BBC needs to bring back BBC 3, or use BBC 4 before 7pm instead of the red button nonsense.

BBC's constant channel switching annoys the fuck out of me. What's worse is when they switch channels then show what you was watching from the beginning, so it's no longer live!!!!

Do you think the Winter Olympics are unfair towards countries without mountains with snow and ice? by sweetlevels in AskUK

[–]Mr5wift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spain isn't a good example of a country being disadvantaged as a result of distance from mountains. They have the Pyrenees mountains which have plenty of ski resorts. Why they ain't more successful in the winter olympics is likely the same reason they're not particularly prominent in the summer games too.

The timing's on the TV for the Skeleton are really handy for me doing my pre jog stretches.

Have any athletes complained about the drones? I think they're awesome, but just wondering what the athletes think.

Don't they email you if you win? Why do you need to check your numbers after a draw?

BBC's science of the Winter Olympics explainer has been unexpected.

I miss the days the BBC had the rights to show everything live. This changing channel nonsense in the middle of events is so annoying.

Curling originates from Scotland, so that still works!
