Black microphones for the black commentator , White microphones for the white commentators how awfully pc from the BBC

I'm hoping it will be brilliant. The stadium is looking hilarious right now (in a good way).

Really looking forward to this and look at every Olympic lanyard as it has our company name on it - amazing

No Atos corporate hospitality for you then?

It's gonna be great, as long as they don't roll out Jagger, McCartney or Phil Collins. Blog post here for those who are interested . Falling With Style: A small Olympic stage in a vast cosmic arena.

Studio sounds like its in Mexico in 1986! I hate Sue Barker.

Looks like someone has rebuilt the Weald & Downland museum inside the stadium, how quaint.

Will be interesting to see how the night unfolds.

90,000 sold out events always have people who can't make it/illness etc, just hang around nr the stadium with a few quid & your eyes open for people carrying a spare-they also look a bit shifty (saw the stones at wembley for £2.50 this way)

Thanks. How long does it go on for?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I'm soooooo excited for this.

So the Olympic Opening Ceremony is just over an hour away. What's your thoughts on how it goes?

I saw it on Wednesday and it's stunning.

Don't let the green green grass of home fool you.

Is that sarcasm or real joy ?

Same here. Danny Boyle was an interesting and IMHO a brave choice. If Boyle gets the balance of seriousness and English quirkiness right it will be fantastic.

Allegedly around 00:30 hrs - Red Arrows looked awesome
