London Olympics 2012

[Unclefester]

Hi, to accompany any Olympic promotions, I was just wondering if anyone had any comments to make on the Olympics.

Athletes they are watching out for, events they like to watch, etc....
Too much rain ? Less rain than you were led to believe / expecting in the United Kingdom ?

Any thoughts on the opening ceremony.... there have been some impressive one's in the past.
London's is supposed to cost less than recent ones. Was it as good as you expected, a shambles, naff, or just typically British ?
