Re: The Olympics.
I do like the Muse song "Survival" that will be played at the medal ceremony, it sounds very Queenesque.

Re: The Olympics.
It's going to be terrific and I just hope the media now start concentrating more on the wonderful excitement which lies ahead. We should acknowledge the huge achievements of all those concerned (G4S excepted lol) in creating the facilities and treasure these few weeks because they'll likely never happen again in any of our lifetimes. To do anything else now would be churlish IMHO and there'll be plenty of time in coming months and years to debate the pros and cons.

Depending on what part of London you deliver to, you may only be able to deliver between midnight and 5am

Re: The Olympics.
Have you seen the mistake in the ad with the kids and the tag line "to there mums they'll always be kids" or words to that effect.
The mistake is
Spoiler:
The Union flag is flown upsidedown in every slot it is used
,
Proberly done by the same idiot who used the South Korean flag intead of the North

That's this one.. It's not upside-down all the time but yes even when they do the flag bearer it's upside-down..

It's a personal gripe of mine and even recently on the torch route the picture I took has many upside-down which I most hastily cropped out!!!
Here's the uncropped picture
