Myself i thought it was a big embarrassment " a double decker bus with idiots dancing around a bus stop" what was that supposed to tell the world about the UK, all it did was reinforse sterio types.
I'm currently watching the last parts of the para-olympics games in Beijing and thinking its been bloody good this time round. But can the 2012 games in London compete with Beijing? Well personally I think they can and will, but the format has to be changed for it to work.
Yes, I think London can compete, even though it is fair to say that the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics was pretty spectatular. However, it will need some doing, people pulling together and some careful planning. I think the drawback of the UK in situations like this is that we always have a tendency to be behind schedule which can let us down. Hopefully, as so much has been done already, this will not be the case this time round.
