The London Olympics 2012

[Richard Brown]

The first Olympic mistake was reported on the news this morning.

In Glasgow, the N Korea v Colombia football match was delayed for an hour. The officials raised the S Korean flag in error so the N Koreans refused to play.

How toe curlingly embarrassing is that! The Olympics is a non political competition. The link to the story http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/sports/football/events/womens-football

I've just been checking ticket availability. There's loads for the Paralympics, and reasonable. We may purchase some for the athletics then.

It's less than 12 hours to the opening ceremony. The count down is becoming more of a reality after the bell ringing minute....

Mixing metaphors a little, it would be good to see a Clanger dropping a politician (preferably into the soup).
