Is anyone going to watch the Olympic opening ceremony live?
Just rained here for a few minutes but it's stopped.

I've been watching the BBC coverage on iPlayer. Steven Redgrave is in the studio joking about "receiving a call" on his mobo.

This is kind of an anti-china opening. Those displays on each seat could do china type mass images, and they are, but they are thrown into the background and the focus is on individuals.
Then the whole thing is turned into montage, as if to say 'history - pah, we can't fit it all in'.

Coz its the official language of the Olympics (de Coubertin) and the french are never going to let it go - even if nobody else still cares about them or it.
