Also Trevor doesn't seem to understand the difference between 'capita' and 'catheter' This song is by Underworld and it's from the 90's. They've not even remixed it. THat's pretty loving ballsy for 25 mil. Sion fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Jul 27, 2012 |

You know, I couldn't give a rat's arse about the sports, but this has been a great show. And it hasn't rained!

I would have to say my favourite part was the first half with Brunel (played by Wallander himself).

I have just learned that Southern Sudan is sending one competitor. One.  That is just so precious. He should get a medal for just turning up and being all plucky and poo poo.

Well, I've been watching the opening ceremony on and off, and most of what I saw was very silly. I liked that. And now it's turned into a load of trivia about all the countries, that's pretty funny.
