    THOUGHTS.

    1, not giving a **** about the olympics.

    2. the opening ceremony.

    3. the actual events

    4. the medal tally.

    5. the closing ceremony.

    Now Rio, you have a bloody hard act to follow, and one things for sure, you aint got THE WHO,to play for you, bring on Morris Albert. What a class two weeks for DOUBTING THOMAS, that would be me. now we go back to the football, sort of an anti climax realy.

    At least one member of the Beckham family, got to play at the Olympics.

    They have an IMPOSSIBLE act to follow Bill.

    Not being biased, but we just hosted the PERFECT tournament.

    Seriously, I believe that.

    even the notoriously American media has championed the event. i have been in awe watching the closing ceremony now with lump in throat.

    Never been so proud to be British.
    one question prince Henry ?

    Don't normally bother with either the opening or closing ceremonies and had no intention of watching this one but turned over and thought I would give it 5 minutes.

    I ended up watching for 3 hours totally hooked - some bits were better than others but overall it was fantastic.

    As we wheeled out one after another musical legend (including Eric Idle) I found myself thinking that no ther country in the world could do this as well as us.

    I'll be a bit lost today with no Olympics to look at - I think I will now start panicking about the lack of signings instead.
