Nope. I am very excited. I have two tickets thus far, one of them obtained via the resale on Friday (before they took it down again). The second of these tickets is for the final canoeing session in Lee Valley Park which is a 10 minute walk from my front door. I used to ride my bike around there as a teenager and in a few months I will be there watching a Gold Medal ceremony for the Olympics.

More Importantly London is hosting a massive party for a few weeks and we get to advertise ourselves to the world. The opening ceremony in China was watched by 2 billion people, imagine a similar number watching our opening ceremony in London. When do we ever get opportunity like that? Will we ever have another one in our lifetimes? It will be a day to feel proud, to celebrate and show a huge amount of the world's population what we can do.
