Default Good luck to the Olympic Team!

A huge amount of hard work invested in to what should prove to be a great spectacle. All the very best to everyone taking part and all the competitors from across the World!

As interesting as the opening ceremony is, I think it'll go right over the heads of the rest of the watching world.

I've given it an hour, but what started out as a feeling of faint embarrassment has got too much to bear so I've switched over to South Park.

Honestly, wonderful theatrics.

Just not sure why Bond brought the Queen so late. She always misses out on good stuff.

Decided to give it another chance and it has got a lot better - we do have a lot to be proud of in music. The NHS sequence was painful to watch though, and are we trying to pretend we invented mobile phones?

Teen single mothers on benefits
Been flooded with immigrants
