my pointless question for the day:

for the UK viewers on channel 4 (might be heard on other stations); - the music that you hear played in the stadiums between events or at the start of a medal ceremony as they walk out.... I am pretty sure it is the chord progression from "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon but with a variation thrown in so as not to pay the royalty, - anybody else notice?

I know a lot of rock music is used, even during races - i think that should be encouraged. I thumbs up to those who made that decision.
I know this little number is used in good measure > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdCrZfTkG1c

A superb event throughout. All those involved, athletes, volunteers and organisers should be thoroughly proud of their achievements. big_smile

Re: London 2012 Olympics & Paralympics

BBC has just released the figures for tv and it seems the closing ceremony was the most watched live tv.

The Paralympic committee seems to be looking into tv rights also in future..

The best speech from a politician I have heard. Love him or hate him, you can't help admire him. Boris for president. lol

agreed, - what Boris does better than so many insipid politicians is let his true personality show, he is not controlled by PR and media moguls who want bland neutral statements, - and he comes across as caring passionately about what he does.... Interestingly he is from the same money-ed background as fellow party embers/cabinet yet it does not hinder him in the same way it seems to others.

A year or so back I was walking along by the Mayors office and out comes Boris deep in conversation with a couple guys, - you now how scruffy Boris looks on TV? He looks worse close up! He was walking down to London Bridge tube, - and kids were making fun of him in a nice way as he walked along, - he just joined in, - he found it funny as well.

And the contrast..... The reception for George Osbourne (Chancellor) at the medal ceremony:
