23:51 All that was missing from the #london2012 opening was British police arresting demonstrators. My blog rectifies that - http://t.co/4GXpKLnh #
23:00 Shock as #ch9 shows the gold medal performance of a NON-AUSTRALIAN, named by Karl Stefanovic as "her". #london2012 #
22:45 Having re-read my blog post of the 2008 opening ceremony I could repeat the first 3 paragraphs http://t.co/rC3Ofg0m #
22:17 Catching up slowly. My Day Minus One #london2012 blog post featuring Cate Blanchett as Galadriel - http://t.co/C9EZN00n #
22:15 Sigh. Channel 9 has crossed to the #liveanimalexports. #london2012 #
21:31 I do hope "Howzat!" starts with the bit where KFBP missed out on the TV rights to the tennis. #
21:19 And what exactly, Rabs, are the "Nether Lands"? #london2012 #swimming #ch9 #
21:10 Profile of #london2012's first gold medallist, Chinese shooter Yi Siling http://t.co/n3zkIROT #
20:50 My nomination for #Infographic Of The Year. RT @bipolarbearnz: For those who find Hey Jude too complicated > http://t.co/ab6LNpW5 #
20:42 Progress score: China 1st, Poland 2nd, Rest of the World equal 3rd. #london2012 #
20:32 Must say though that I would never have thought of Yakety Sax/The Benny Hill Theme as an example of zydeco. #
20:30 It's not The Benny Hill Theme and it's not even British. "Yakety Sax" was first a hit for Boots Randolph in 1963 http://t.co/xzxp8069 #
14:49 I will never get over the concept of a musical tribute to the NHS. #
14:07 Now watching the first half hour of the #openingceremony that I missed this morning #
10:30 Oops. Left ch9 on, now a youngish Donald Trump doing a walk-on in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air #
09:55 Any Olympic #OpeningCeremony is irrelevant to sport and indulgence on a grand scale but having said that @DannyBoyleFilm did a brilliant job #
09:44 I can turn the volume down now. The one down note to a brilliant #openingceremony, which was really the warmup for a Macartney concert #
09:42 Macartney is off-key. And besides, he's from Liverpool. #london2012 #
09:40 and finishes with one of my least favourite Beatles songs :( #
09:38 and Pink Floyd. #
09:37 Best Olympic torch lighting ever. Correct decision. #openingceremony #
09:28 who takes the Olympic oath on behalf of the pharmacists? #
09:26 must say I feel the suspense right now over the lighting of the flame #
09:24 Pah. I remember Ron Barassi "walking" on the Yarra with the Commonwealth Games torch in 2006. #
09:23 But always great to see Muhammad Ali, regardless. #
09:22 It makes me a little sad to see these great people being used as bit players for what is now a miserable commercial enterprise. #olympics #
09:20 How did these guys win the raffle to carry the Olympic flag? #
09:18 Her Majesty keeps it short and concise. It's after her bed time too! #openingceremony #
