I thought the opening ceremony was really good, very well thought out and put together. Personally I thought it was one of the best I have seen, it told a story rather than just being flashy, colourful and noisy. it was a good reminder of what this tiny little island has created and given to the world.
I am looking forward to the games themselves as well and think it is fantastic that they have come to London. I have only one criticism, you guys south of the border get all the good stuff while us lot up here get the crappy football, which in my opinion shouldn't even be in the olympics (along with beach volleyball and numerous others)
