I wonder how tempting it was to use the Imperial March for certain counties.

Didn't they do that for the Chinese Ambassador not long ago?

It'd be pretty hard to decide between using it for North Korea or the USA. Actually, for the yanks it should just be the banjo music from Deliverance.

Dude if you just saw a stunt woman dressed as your mum dive out of a helicopter with james bond wouldn't you want to be a litttttle bit tipsy too?


vvvvv - I'd be surprised if she still has blood. That's why they keep her away from the olympic torch because her blood alcohol is so high that she'll probably burst into flames if she gets within 10 feet of it.

Okay, so the pretty ladies carrying the silly little country name-signs?

I get that they're holding them up with two sticks either side, but there's smaller sticks supporting the name in the middle and I can't work out what they're attached to? Is it the poor lassies' hair? Or is it attached to the backs of their dresses? I can't work it out, I'm not watching it in HD!
