    Right I'm switching off, this hasn't done a good job of holding my attention for even 10 minutes.

    Enjoy it, hope it gets better for you. :D

    Just heard the suffragette movement will be reflected in the opening ceremony so perhaps it will be a woman athlete, I don't think a woman athlete has ever lit the torch before, so Kelly Holmes, that was a great Olympic moment and we are not seeing much of her, so maybe.

    Good suggestion!

    This is really awful, cheap and tacky to the extreme. Compared to Beijing it makes London look pathetic.
    If they could pay pennies a day to workers I'm sure they might manage something more extravagant.

    Alas, the last time that was possible would have been the industrial revolution - which they're trying to recreate now.

    They could have spent millions on lasers and fireworks and synchronised drummers, but this is interesting in a different way imo
