BBC one is now all olympics basically. Say goodbye to your cheaply made shows for the next two weeks.

I'm heading down to London tomorrow to work security, I may be wrong but I think I'm stationed in the Olympic village or nearby! :)
I'm excited to see the opening cermony, but at the same time sad because the games delays my London trip about a month.

The Opening Ceremony will begin in around 2 or so hours. If you do not want to be spoiled in anything at all, please dont read the thread until after you watch it.
Individual scores are going away (because now its 10+ events per day) so I am switching out scores for medals (unless you all want a certain sport)
Tomorrows events (check [url=http://www.london2012.com/schedule-and-results/day=28-july/all-day.html]here[/url] to look deeper into a certain event.)

See China was good at the spectacle. The opening ceremony this year is carefully engineered to walk the line between hilariously shit (allowing our foreign visitors to partake in the British delights of disappointment and complaining; they've already experienced the [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2177859/London-Olympics-2012-Visitors-forced-queue-hours-27C-heat-tickets-administrative-error.html?ito=feeds-newsxml]Great British queue[/url]) and incredibly weird (to highlight the "British eccentricity" angle)
