Sarcy reply David Cameron The Royals Boris Johnson Sebb Coe The Olympic Comittee LOCOG The people they've picked to run with it throughout the UK The Athletes The 60K spectators at Hyde Park The BBC And so on...
There doesn't seem any system of checking nowadays. Now there's the Joe Allen being English in the programme. When you read the news websites like BBC it would appear that they use work experience people with nobody reviewing what is done.
So the full-time results from today are: Honduras 2-2 Morocco Mexico 0-0 South Korea Spain 0-1 Japan United Arab Emirates 1-2 Uruguay Gabon 1-1 Switzerland Belarus 1-0 New Zealand Brazil 3-2 Egypt Team GB 1-1 Senegal
South Korea claim the first two world records in the men's archery ranking round. Im Dong-Hyun broke his own individual record for 72 arrows & joined Kim Bubmin & Oh Jin-Heyk to set a new team mark for 216 arrows
I never ever watch opening ceremonies for any sporting event. Just catch the highlights on the news like. But I'm going to sit through this one. I think Danny Boyle should make it a good show.

Anyone else find it really irritating that all the announcements are made over the tannoy in French as well as English? It should either be all 204 countries' respective languages or just English. Who really gives a **** about French apart from the bloody French?
Still a load of balls. Enjoyed Rowan Atkinson's bit there - call me childish but he always makes me laugh.
