So nice to see that the NHS got a part in the opening ceremonies! I cant imagine the US healthcare system ever getting a mention at any event- never mind an international one. You have a lot to be proud of!:cool:

Thanks mhc - much appreciated. Now, let's see if wee can actually win something too.....

Thanks Jeanne. It seems to have worked!

Hey Malcolm, what's with the Mayor. Can't even ride a zip line without getting hung up. Around here that would have been a great opportunity to get rid of some old tomatoes!

All in all it looks like London is doing a bang up job.

Cheers.

You're right there John; he was lucky to get away with that. Although I like his politics, he is a complete clown (and worse, they reckon that, one day, he might lead the party)!

4 golds so far - not bad, Malcolm. Who knew that the English were such great canoers! And I did appreciate that the Queen would do something as goofy as pretending to skydive with "James Bond".

Yes, I wouldn't have expected that either.

And how fantastic is the Gymnastics medal! I was cheering wildly in my living room.
