I wonder if it would have been this visually stunning if Spielberg had still been advising. His loss. |

Some Chinese person involved in the ceremony saw the pipe band playing and reckoned they would be a good addition. The thing is, the band involved are supposedly rubbish but were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.
Did you have pipe bands at Uni? Blackadders team back in Oz used to take to the rugby field to the strains of Highland Cathedral. |

I did see pretty faces, both male and female, from the athletes groups.
All colors, and some are really pretty! |

With 80,000 people watching, 15,000 performing and half the World leaders there I would really hate trying to find a taxi afterwards. |

we were Edinboro University Fighting Scots. Heard more than enough of that song in Uni. All 9 of the bagpipe team were everywhere. Not sure how they found time for classes. |

The BBC never commented on it, probably never knew who he was. |

Wonderful opening ceremony. I can't wait for the Australian and Chinese teams to come out. Wonder who will light the Olympic flame and how it will be lighted... |

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Mr Bush is waving and Michael Phelps is the flag bearer. MP is a strange one. Sometimes he looks stunning and other times, he is soooo ugly. |
