Anyone hear Paul Kimmage on Newstalk re.the road race? Absolutely scathing about the Irish lads, hugely critical of the Germans and Aussies and full of praise for GB - said their effort, team work and selflessness was outstanding Always had a lot of time for Kimmage. As much as I respect Kimmage th...

Much as he should have been put out to pasture when he did the Pipes of Peace there's no getting around the fact that he was a Beatle and if you're celebrating Britain then you can't ignore the biggest band in history. meh.

Enjoyed that - very pleased that we put on a good show. The Torch at the end was a touch of genius.

Now the real action begins.

I think this is going to be a love it or hate it situation. I love it but I get it. A lot wouldn't. Having said that, so what? This is a very British opening cermony and fair dues. Soundtrack is absolutely awesome. To be fair, most people don't normally "get" the opening ceremony of most Olympics, ...

Strangely, I can just blot the commentators out - don't even notice them.

be honest with yourself, can you really see the international media going crazy thus far

Have you just pissed in your bed or are you always a wet blanket.

I'm not normally a fan of opening ceremonies but this has been pretty stunning so far - clever theming - great execution.

Amazing how they are transforming the arena.

Record low coverage in June this year (sorry if already posted). http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ And I'm surprised Bill hasn't let us know that the Antarctic ice is shrinking as well, getting thinner as it is warmed from below - according to no lesser source than the Daily Mail http://www.dailyma...

If you guys thinks this clears Cairns name you are kidding yourselves. It is just glossing over what will always be be insinuated maybe not as loudly now. People will use the euphemism that he had some troubles with match fixing allegations rather than say straight out he is a match fixer. Bit like...

I would also add that the Irish players 'poached' to date have all been capped for Ireland multiple times befrore coming to the attention of the English counties, so saying they are choosing to be English is more than crass. How is it crass? Some choose to throw their lot in with England, in order ...

If they're allowing their international game be a laughing stock then as is then why not allow associates hitch up with a test team but continue for their associate at one day or 20/20? I've made that point before on here, and in fairness, a lot of the English cricket heads here would agree; but no...

Terrible argument Ovalball - The players should not be allowed declare for us, it is most certainly not 'swings and roundabouts' as you say. So, where else would the Irish players get 1st class experience and the benefit of all the coaching structures in the English Counties? We have no choice abou...

Great to see them qualify - apart from one slip up, early on, against Namibia, and a fright against Italy, they cruised through. I doubt any of the teams will fancy playing them as they have more than enough ability to cause an upset in T20. Just hope they can keep improving during the wait for Tes...

I love my les paul standard. It's not vintage, or particularly flamey, but connect it into a Marshall and a Jim Dunlop crybaby and I'm 18 again with all the hard rockin dreams that implies. This pretty much sums up my thoughts. Les Paul bit of distortion, sorted. Also disturbing lack of pictures he...
