    The opening ceremony took some flak, and it was so long that I couldn't be arsed watching it all. But the last segment was excellent, with "Supernature" by Cerrone.

    This is … well, words fail me.

    At least there's only 5 rings. Otherwise you could have a right pain in your ring waiting for this segment to conclude.

    I'm joking, I think it's good.

    I think Emile Zatopek of Czechoslovakia won the 5,000, 10000 metres and Marathon at the 1952 olympics which would equal what the Dutch woman did tiday by winni g Marathon.

    So in 4 years time. Rowers again. Wiffen again. Rhys? Rhasidat. Maybe a boxer? Any other potential medalist?

    It was really good, having the 5 Olympic Rings suspended in Mid Air - but if it took 15 - 20 minutes less it would have been so much better.

    Daina Moorhouse is highly rated in boxing. The heavyweight guy also is young. We'll always be competitive in boxing so that's not a surprise.

    The hammer girl from Cork has potential. Nicola Tuthill I think.

    Beyond that I'm not sure.

    Phoenix fresh off their gig in the Iveagh Gardens a couple of weeks ago.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Really weak music section so far

    A thing isn't what it says it is.

    For LA the Athletics will be on the first week and not the traditional second.

    Personally I rather if it was kept for second week..but we see how it goes.

    Phoenix were fairly dull, this moody electro pop is better.
