i was in the US in 2012 and NBC didn't show any events live, and didn't even show the 100m final until hours after it was on!

No they are showing stuff live - except where there is a profusion of events that can’t be shown live on 4 channels. I watched shooting and archery live yesterday. They are much better than they used to be when they concentrated only on us athletes. That’s changed for sure.

Everything on NBC on the west coast is tape-delayed.

Meadowlark Lemon, what an entertainer, as a callow youth I was convinced he'd had the basketball surgically attached to his hands - until of course he netted. RIP

He used to be an InterRailer back in the day...

Never trust anyone who says "Trust me !"

All the above are true....

Bah humbug.

FWIW, the trains being stopped contain people who want to go FROM Germany to Sweden. ;-)

Many Arab nations have not signed up to the 1951 Convention and, for various reasons, wouldn't entertain being a signatory anyway.

That include the train ferry between Puttgarden and Rodby?

Even cheaper in Venezuela....although they've got a bit of a problem there at the moment.
