I read that the UK is expected to pick up 4th place in total medals! Even as the Host that would impress the hell out of me. :beer:

We finished 4th in the medals table at Beijing - it's a high target for our team to live up to.

Last night I sat down to watch the start of the opening ceremony, resolving to go and do something else when I got bored with it. I watched it right to the end! Full marks to the producers. (BBC commentary could have been better but that's a topic for another thread)

Stupid branding rules: Wimbledon has got some excellent scoreboards but because they're IBM branded they're covered up and replaced with some tiny hopeless Omega substitutes.

Empty seats! :mad:

Apparently these are the free seats allocated to the various sports organisations in the competing countries (the "Olympic Family" in newsspeak) - enough said.

@OlympicSeat on twitter has plenty to say on the subject ;)

I can't wait for the Olympics to be over so I can watch the news for NEWS rather than a round up of the day's results.
