And likewise, like it or not, I'm entitled to express my opinion that Jan Moir and the Daily Fail editorial board are a bunch of xenophobic Morons.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
I understand that there were thousands of tickets sold, so why the empty seats - the old touts must be making a fortune.
I find it really sad that these games are supposed to be the jewel for Britain, yet when these games are being televised, there must be more watching them at home than in the actual seats.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
Let us avoid baiting and trolling please.
It might also be nice if some of us tried to read the backlog.

With a potential viewing audience of several billion, that's probably not difficult Arthur.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
An album of the songs from the Opening Ceremony has been released and is doing quite well:

An album featuring music from the London 2012 opening ceremony has sold more than 10,000 copies within 24 hours of going on sale. The compilation, named Isles of Wonder, is No 1 in the iTunes store album chart in the UK, France, Belgium and Spain, and has reached No 5 in the United States.
|
The best thing about it is not the common tracks (there aren't much of them anyway) but the music created for the ceremony itself like the song they played during the torch lighting (Caliban's Dream) and that which played during the industrial part (And I Will Kiss).

London 2012 organisers Locog say they have sold an extra 3,000 seats to events on Monday after they were returned to them by sports federations.

Wrong. Amazon MP3s are encoded at 320k whilst CDs are usually only 128k.
