Bronze to ' Piacenza ' ? - to be fair the will one reqires fairly specific knowledge . We really ought to award medals for the ' best post ' or ' funniest post ' too ....

I don't mind the gymnastics, some diving, ice-skating, synchronised swimming.

What time does the opening ceremony start tomorrow? I presume RAI will be showing it or do I have to hack into the BBC?

10pm? For some reason I thought it would be much earlier than that.

Thanks for the avatar compliment. It would be better if it fit a little better.
