That opening sequence was really British. So chaotic with so much happening, so much to fit in....yet it worked really well. A great story well told by Danny Boyle. Loved that dramatic change from rural to the industrial revolution. Dramatic. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: What I...

NHS though really is a fantastic system. Wish we had something like it over here. hmmm fudge off to the Republic if you don't like it. Why is there do much focus on the health system in the UK? Uk history is heavily involved with health care. Florence Nightinggale, Alexander Flemming etc. CHARIOTS ...

There were a few. Since the tuor times Britain has had black communities. They have tended to intergrate and intermarry well so kinda get forgotton a bit.

It's possibly the greatest engineer of all time. Britain is responsible for the industrial revolution, the biggest civilising force of all time.....and the biggets cause for global warming......

One thing you can say for the Beeb - they are covering the fudge out of this across so many different platforms, and surely only a state funded broadcaster could afford to do that. It's where they are at their best. No adverts either. 100% coverage and the extended stuff is very good and interestin...

Who is the greatest Olympian ever?? It's probably some South Korean in Archery. They own that sport.
Redgrave,golds in 5 consecutive games.

I'm sure there is some German bird who has 8 golds in 6 games.

Those pics are unreal :shock: Must be a serious buzz there now. After a quiet enough build up, it seems to be really hitting now. Really looking forward to tonight to see what Boyle does. :thumbup: Rumour is that it's looking very good. It will be a very different approach to China which was shear ...

He completely owned that crowd there. Can't think of another Uk politician who could get a crowd chanting their names like that. Based of that alone he's the perfect Major for the Olympics.

And also, in most races I guess you want the win and the win alone, but with medals up for grabs do the pack helping him then try to sprint too or just accept that their main man is the most important thing.

Watched the olympic torch Garratt Lane yesterday evening.

it was nice as virtually everybody poured out to watch it. It's a tiny pathetic little thing really but it's always fantastic when a event can unit communities and have people come together in joy. Always a good thing.

I disliked it in the worst way because it was a film that almost had so much goodness in it and that just makes the horrid retarded writing stand out as worse.
