I thought the opening ceromony was good, but i feel like the only person in the world not bowled over by it. All i keep reading is how it was the greatest opener and how London better step up their game (I'm not sure how people know what they'd got planned to step up from mind?), but i really wasn't as wowed as i was by Sydney, or Athens. Especially not considering the money and suffering gone into it.

As unpopular opinion it may be, London, as you were the country to start the parade of Nations, please be the country who finishes it. It's too long. I actually hope London cut their opener down and make a new tradition, it's been getting far too long over the years.
