Paul McCartneys voice is shot. Ive been listening to him drone for yearrssss. George Michael would have been better.
Its only GUARDIAN readers who diss the Olympics. Ive checked their forum today and half said nice things about the ceremonies. And Im not self condemnatory -- I know shite when I see it. Oh and 99% of British newspapers said nice things too.

What's that red thing? No I didn't see any war tribute except for some red poppies during WWII. I hate NBC. Australia must have better tv stations than us. Is the Olympic torch supposed to be a forest fire? I did like the molten Olympic rings and industrial dance. What did the Olympic baby represent? Is that you Pea? OH! Did you sing along with the various choirs Pea? Ha! I'm not the only one who thinks NBC sucks. www.guardian.co.uk/media/us-news-blog/2012/jul/28/nbc-olympics-opening-ceremony?CMP=twt_fd&CMP=SOCxx2I2I found a way to watch BBC One here in the states. I'm watching cycling now.

GOOD for you! BBC always has good Olympic coverage widout NBC jingoistic remarks. Thinks like Oh, here is Albania in the parade, one of 89 countries which has never won a single medal. Albania is proud that they are in the parade! WTF! I dont know whut the baby represents. Perhaps it is saying that the NHS has great obstetricians, and that this is whut you see when one looks down a cervix!

Oh, here is Albania in the parade, one of 89 countries which has never won a single medal. Albania is proud that they are in the parade! WTF! Yes I thought that was rude too. Some of the commercials were pretty offensive too. One made a joke about burly eastern European girls and another had a monkey doing the iron cross.

I don't know. I think it was for a new tv show coming out or something. The BBC ONE is way ahead of NBC! I watched archery and fencing this morning and they didn't show it here in the States until about 4 PM. Yay for Italia in Archery and Fencing! Yay for Kazakhstan in Cycling! I'm glad Mark Cavendish lost. I don't like him. I also like when USA loses. What is Handball? It's like footy but you can only use your hands. What the heck? Oh, I also watched Badminton but I fell asleep. USA and Korea were tied last I looked. Dunno what happened. Here is Mark Cavendish being a sore loser. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19032756 Usually he takes it easy the entire race then does a little sprint at the end but he couldn't do it this time. Boo hoo hoo for him. ;D

Fehhh, NEGATIVE rivals. You mean they were negative becuz they beat you, you twat! Never liked Cavendish. But I guess he really wanted that GOLD sooo bad! I am disappointed in how Japan did in the qualifying mens gymnastics. WTF, I thought they would blitz the field! Wake up, guys! Yahh, I bet NBC will be showing the Loetke/Phelps duel on prime time in America. And everyone already knows the results of how Phelps came in ****! Heh. But do watch the Chinese blow up everyone in the swimming pool. They even have an amazing 16 year old girl! I love archery although I dont have a particular skillz for it. When I wuz practising in school eons ago, I released the bow prematurely and nearly broke my adorable nosey. That wuz it for Little PLite & Archery.

I think if you come to UK, you must see this ... the late Denis Severs' house in Spitalfields. He bought a derelict house and recreated whut he thought an occupied 18th century house must have been like -- that is, a house in which 18th century people are still living. So if you enter the house, its as if the family who lived there just stepped out for a walk ..

As usual, UK screws up platform diving. Time for Tom Daley to retire!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-19000769Too much emphasis on the boring Karl Marx but its still a decent tour of Highgate Cemetery, where I shall be eventually lie in repose below a mossy carving of Cheez Doodle.
