think you are right Sue - I cannot see any way we could possibly outdo what the Chinese are putting on at the moment - absolutely fascinating

Having said that I do not think China should have got the games in the first place but too late now - shan't be watching the events, but this is too good to miss!!!

I remember the OC at Moscow which was the first really orchestrated one I can remember. The 'outdoing' factor since then has been marvellous but so costly.

Still we could have a load of hoodies performing, they would be cheap :-))

Wonderful!!...Follow that London...
My thoughts were with all that smoke from the fireworks adding to the pollution!!!
Seriously though,the Eastern countries are always spectacular...remember Seoul?...and they have been training for 12 months.

Boycyying it and it is killing me as i love the athletics. I do not believe China should have been allowed to host them. I know my token stand will not change a thing but it is a matter of principle.
No hard feelings for anyone else enjoying them .

I agree,Ann,very spectacular,but as we hadn't seen any dragons,I thought they would have a dragon breathing the flame!.....not a Welsh Dragon of course!!!

Well at £3,000 per second it should have been spectacular which it was.....
