Great post GG and as I said to you already, Iain thinks you should become full time reviewer of gigs!!
I loved the opening ceremony. Boyle did an amazing job and how it all came together with no hiccups was a major feat in itself.
The only bit I felt slightly uncomfortable with was Mohammed Ali. I know he, like McCartney, in a British legend and had every right to be there but he is a poor soul and I just felt really sad for him.
I think the empty seats in the Aquatic centre has been a disgrace but we know one of them will be filled tonight.
Delighted for Swim that Robbie Renwick and Liam Tancock have made the finals tonight
