    I think this means he won't be lighting the torch though, so that's a plus! :)

    Beckham refused to do it, stated that an olympian should do it... he has a point!

    Pretty cheap looking open ceremony compared to the last two Beijing and Sydney ..... But the British will say it was the best of course......

    But one has to bear in mind the number of people who will refuse on principle to admit that London did a good job

    Have they referenced The Smiths at all.
    Britishness personified.
    Morrissey's rumoured to be a bit of a xenophobe, can't imagine him being too pleased with the influx of foreigners for the Games.

    Was in the USA last week. The main news story, along with the Colorado massacre, was that the USA team are going to be wearing berets. French berets! Unpatriotic head wear! Freedom hating hats!

    I liked it overall but no Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Doctor Who or Top Gear is disappointing.

    It looked kinda like the Paddy's Day parade in Longford compared to Beijing.

    What the hell are you on about? This has been amazing stuff so far. They've absolutely nailed it.

    It wouldn't have been him anyway. Self-regarding much, Becks?

    I wonder if this pause is a way of getting around the IOCs refusal to mark 40 years since Munich?

    Apparently this isn't the thread (or website in fact) for any type of political discussion in relation to the Olympics.

    I actually thought it was well thought out. Brilliant so far. The Queen looked bored when she arrived though.

    bit of a chilling version of a quality hymn

    tbh, I'm kinda liking it
    Very touching, both the singing and dancing
