Yeah, I'm in Maryland, U.S.A. (Eastern Time), and U.K. time is 5 hours ahead of me.
I enjoyed watching the opening ceremony, though I found myself going "Ugh!" every time NBC went to a commercial break. It made me think of American Idol and all of their commercial breaks...lol.

; for example Yelena Isinbayeva. I have a huge girl crush on her.It has been brought to my attention that you, over there in the good old US of A were deprived of the best (in my opinion) part of the opening ceremony by what can only be described as a massive blunder by NBC to show an interview with Mr Phelps!
Emile Sande sings the hymn "Abide with Me" in tribute to those who lost thier lives in the 7/7 bombings. NBC should hang thier heads in shame. Thier pitiful excuse is that it was "not tailored to a US audience. Cretins.
Beautiful, and the only decent bit i can find on youtube doesn't really do the dance part of it justice, very moving

Helicopter, I'm sure the laser-guided missiles we have stationed on peoples blocks of flats would have been alerted to anything more suspicious :lol:
Its clearly a helicopter, the footage is slowed down so much compared to the sound it gives a false impression
Did NBC Pick up on this? :lol:

Speaking of those surface to air missiles... Is London's air space that vulnerable where fighter jets can't be launched in time to intervene? What's up with that??
The best i can find anywhere is that it is part of a "multi-layered" approach to defence of the games
It seems more of a missile interception system because most of the RAF bases are sourthern-ish so would be able to intercept a jet flown from anywhere outside the capital fairly quickly
My opinion is its a fecking good publicity stunt as a deterrent

Same here, but that also makes it look they're hiding something to employ weapons usually relied on by distant battlefields. Jus' sayin'.
Safety.. IMO
You cannot be too safe in these troubling times. There are many threats at home and abroad. Maybe there was a credible threat that needed addressing, I dunno, I for one would feel quite safe sleeping under millions of ££ of Military technology guarded by the SAS :lol:

To some degree, yes, there is safety... on the other hand, gaining control over a battery like that would be a terrorists wet dream. Decoys or not, I'm sure the Queen and 007 would swoop in to save the day, lol

Neck and neck with China. Tied for golds but the US has the edge in total medal counts...unless you only count gold and silver. 
Well pleased with Team GB's performance, sat 3rd in the medal table now and if we can end up staying 3rd and take more medals we did in Beijing it'll be a massive sucess!
Tearing up the Veledrome in the last 2 days!

Greatest All round Athlete in the World!
Gawaaaan Jessica Ennis!
What an amazing night, 3 Golds in an hour in the Athletics, 5 in total today! :dance:
I was hoping for a Brazil X GBR on soccer, it would be cool to see how this young team would react under such pressure.The moon:

Heptathlon has always been a favorite event for me. A great athlete, and thoroughly bonkable as well.
The Australian press can't stop whining about the lack of medals, and how well the Brits are doing, but it has still be a great event by any standards.
Its been the best Olympics in my lifetime, and I started watching em in 96, the atmosphere, the fact the staduims and venues are pretty full even when non- GB athletes are performing
Team GB have been amazing, its astounding being 3rd given the relative size of the country and funding issued,
Aussie have been terrible so far. MY home county of Yorkshire in the UK has more medals than them and would be 11th in the table if they were a country rather than an area of the Uk :lol:

It all finishes tonight :crybaby:
Quite an odd feeling to think i'll never experience something like this again in my home country
Quite rightly this is being held up as the greatest Olympics ever, and allegedly Jacques Rogge is going to say as much in his closing speech tonight

A little biased, perhaps?
All the press here in the states has been mostly positive with reports of how it's been such a uniting event for Great Britain. KUDOS! 
It's not quite over yet... but I'll salute y'all for a job well done. :handgestures-salute: :thumbleft:
Funny Bloopers from the Olympics Commentators
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
...
2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."
5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."
9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them...Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Watching the '96 U.S.A. Olympics gymnastics team with my grandmom was a very fun time.
I remember making a comment about how some of the gymnasts don't shake hands with everyone else when it's over, and she said it's because some of them actually get punished (when they return home to their country) if they don't win.
Is that true, or is she just making assumptions?The_Brown_Fox said:sweetiebatman said:

Therw was a bit on BBC just now in the buildup to the closing ceremony and it said that the South Korean who won gold in the Archery satrted crying because she won it with an 8 and "In South Korea we don't do 8's" They take their sport very seriously in the Far East!
When Korea were in the World Cup, they wouldn't even televise their own country's games unless they won :?
As far as North Korea...
I've heard rumors about the Russians too, but they're probably just rumors.
