It has been fantastic so far, the industrial revolution part where they made the Olympic rings was superb.

I am up, but not watching live, as I keep having to dash out. Once all the taxi work and shopping is done I'll settle down to the recorded stuff so I can fast forward through all the boring bits.

86 - is that how many years she's been on the throne or her age?

Just woke up here in time to see the Canadians march in. Poor Simon Whitfield. How much did they have to beg him to carry the flag in?

(Canadians have a superstition that whoever carries the flag in loses the gold medal...spectacular cases of this in the past with our figure skaters).
