    No way they would have used £'s, Euro's surely? or perhaps the Franc!

    Can anyone explain Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic flame (over and above obvious lighting a doobie jokes)?

    Isn't Celine Dion Canadian?

    Are there no famous French singers?

    The entire river section was a disaster. It slight improved (but only slightly!) after that, but jeez. Fair play to try something different, but it did not work.

    Why do they keep insisting on calling that aerostat a "hot air balloon"? Nothing hot about helium, only the flame underneath is hot!

    The horse scenes were the best bits, I think. The river thing was a disaster. Pretty sure LA will just be using their arena after that <laugh>

    Didn't she represent France in the eurovision song contest? No different than Lennox Lewis
