bittymoon 28-Jul-12, 09:05	lol brian That's classic... the kids probably wont forget that either- creepy undertones, yes indeed... very different
petemellor 28-Jul-12, 09:10	Not really big on these things - did previous opening ceremonies include so much self importance/self promotion as this one? The overwhelming message I got was 'Isn't London wonderful' and what a wonderful country this is........especially London.
brianinpdx 28-Jul-12, 10:30	But now that I think about it... it kinda reminded me of some acid trip in my college days. I thought the whole James Bond / queen entrance was super cool. And wow the fireworks where amazing.

anomalocaris 28-Jul-12, 15:28	i hate to say this but the U.S. costumes made them look like flight attendants.
mikesiva 29-Jul-12, 01:36	Valid point, pete...I thought it did go a bit overboard with chest-beating, especially Coe's speech. But more important stuff...the athletes! Lochte won the 400 IM, and Phelps came fourth!
petemellor 29-Jul-12, 02:09	All that effort to put over the British Culture and they forget one of the defining attributes - self deprecation - is that an attempt to demonstrate our other famous attribute irony. Perhaps I missed the joke. Not looked at the results since Cavendish missed out. Gutted.
kneilca2 29-Jul-12, 06:15	And Japan beat Spain is men's soccer!
mikesiva 01-Aug-12, 11:00	Eight badminton players DQ'ed for not trying to win....
kneilca2 01-Aug-12, 11:12	and now Spain is out of the Olympic men's soccer. Knocked out by Japan and Saudi Arabia. Incredible! Perhaps intrepidpixie is right: the end IS nigh!
shredder1 01-Aug-12, 12:55	wiggins kicked ass best gold so far by a mile,,,,,
wildfiree 01-Aug-12, 13:26	Swimming 100m freestyle, my fellow countrymen Sebastiaan Verschuren did an awesome job, he swam a new PR and almost obtained a medal, 8/100th of a second short of 3rd place.

kneilca2 01-Aug-12, 15:51	@MrM Either that or going through the Doomsday Seed Catalogue. Got any recipes for spelt pasta and tomato paste?

mikesiva 03-Aug-12, 01:16	www.guardian.co.uk Now it's on to the real business...track and field athletics!
kneilca2 03-Aug-12, 06:23	Can Bolt do it again? Or has his reign ended and it's time for another?
mikesiva 04-Aug-12, 07:18	Bolt looked good in today's heat...but so did Yohan Blake!

petemellor 04-Aug-12, 07:25	If they lost the game they would still qualify for the knockout stages but would get easier opposition - for the chinese I think they avoided the 2nd China team. Didn't see it but apparently it was so obvious the crowd were booing because they were serving into the net and hitting long when not under pressure.

petemellor 04-Aug-12, 07:37	Apparently the badminton association or whoever made the decision are distraught because they get very little publicity year on year and then this happens at the showcase event. Like you say good that they are able to clamp down when it happens

pennsylvaniadan 04-Aug-12, 07:51	People throwing games to gain an easier match, gee, I'm glad that doesn't happen on Gameknot. Lol

mikesiva 04-Aug-12, 23:21	Link provided to Guardian story above re badminton DQs.... But only to the feel-good stuff.... Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser retained her Olympic 100m title! She clocked a fast 10.75 to win ahead of American favourite Carmelita Jeter (10.78), and fellow-Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown (10.81). Trinidad's Kelly-Ann Baptiste finished a creditable sixth with 10.94, making this one of the fastest women's 100ms ever....
