More Olympic volleyball please

I'm a bit of a volleyball nut. And I want to see more of it covered on TV during the forthcoming Olympic Games. So I've written a letter to the BBC and I'm hoping you might also want to send in should you feel the same way.

Btw, In doing some of the research I stumbled upon this article about the history of volleyball.

You can't afford a decent logo for London 2012?!

When the original bid to host the Olympics in 2012 was accepted there was already a perfectly good logo. A bit boring perhaps, but, you know, it wasn't humiliating... it didn't show complete ineptitude. Now they've gone and replaced it with something that looks like a broken swastika. Over 80% of 17000+ votes cast on the BBC website give it the wooden spoon.

Come on guys! The budget is ~~£2.4bn (July 2005)~~ £9.35bn (March 2007)!
