Hi! My name is Marie-Antoinette Issa and I’m a magazine addict (I also have a weakness for leopard-print heels, pink lipgloss & guys that look like Wentworth Miller). The bits you need to know: I work experienced at CLEO during my media/law degree. Two days after graduation I scored a job at Madison as Sub Editor. I moved on to Senior Sub at STYD, before freelancing at NW, Cosmo & Dolly. The bits you probably don't: This profile was much more interesting before I was forced to cut it to 506 characters!

The Olympic Games kick off tomorrow, and (depending on which side of the balance beam you sit) bring with them national hopes of sporting glory or threats of terrorism, internet censorship and stifling smog.

But, whether you’re jumping on the Beijing bandwagon or planning to boycott the event, here are some ground rules to making sure your relationship survives this once-every-four-years sporting spectacle (ie- imagine football finals season multiplied by 14, 543 times).

1- Plan ahead and agree which events are unmissable, and which may have to be skipped so you can make it to Uncle Albert’s 53 rd birthday party
2- Don’t even attempt a D&M re: the state of your relationship/his poor contribution to domestic duties/what he’s ‘thinking’ at any point during Grant Hackett’s 1500 metre attempt at gold
3- Consider tuning in to occasionally cheer on Australia’s, ahem, ‘finest’ – check out our Man Stalker Gallery and be proud to be patriotic, ladies!

considering the games are only on 2 channels chances are your man's interest wont be on every single sport being played, i personally dont think i can possibly see my man sitting infront of the t.v chearing "GO AUSSIE" when the questrian is on, can you? so ladies fece up you have nothing to worry about here. and if there fav sport is on a few hours isnt that big a deal.

Olympics?? Did someone say Olympics? Oh i thought it was just a big swimming meet that happening over there in Beijing!? So... don't worry girls, unless your man is totally nuts about swimming, you don't have anything to stress about!
