I'm just glad we were able to send Mitt Romney over to help out.
Jeremy Clarkson (from Top Gear) apparently didn't appreciate the help we sent there. (I took out the expletive in case it gets me in trouble here)

I thought that bit was really touching, especially as they also had a tribute wall of photos displayed just beforehand.Is it true that NBC cut the tribute to the 7/7 victims? If so then that is utterly disgraceful

Great show. Great soundtrack. Some beautiful touches and some lovely humour.
Super.
P.S. Does anyone happen to know the name of the ambient music that was used during the memorial scene of photographs? I've heard this used before by the BBC and I've often wondered what is was called, and who it was by.

mpty seats at the gymnastics and swimming because sponsors have failed to turn up
Is it on the Soundtrack album?
Another forum I'm on said it was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It4WxQ6dnn0
I think you mean the clip of "An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian Eno, from the "Apollo" album.
Although Mr. Duncan has already posted the YouTube link, it's from one of my favourite albums, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks by Brian Eno (incl Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois). If you like pedal-steel guitars in space, it's a must-have. Look for the remastered version. Brian Eno: another British genius who got a slight look-in.

Say what you want about ESPN and their talking heads but they do live coverage the right way. Just look at their Wimbledon coverage this year, live for the first time since they ripped the rights away from NBC. I really wanted then to win the new olympic rights deal. Why would the IOC want NBC to destroy the games the way they do.Yes, it's true. NBC's coverage so far has been a joke and we're only on day 2. Gonna be a long 3 weeks.
If the BBC had cut coverage to a tribute to 9/11 victims in olympics hosted in the US, there would be mass outrage all across this country. But it's OK when we do it
Apart from the quite wonderful Evelyn Glennie the rest were all volunteers from London.Who were those drummers ?
They must have had very sore arms after keeping the beat throughout that entire parade of nations!Who were those drummers ?

It wasn't a tribute to jobs it was showing that sir Tim berens lee developed what is the w w w using a next cube ... No tribute to jobs there
Only two medals thus far and not even Gold in either case. We have been pathetic. USA and China dominating.
