Germany in general... well, we have always been late starters.

Yesterday I went to the supermarket and all the checkout workers were draped in green and gold scarves - this kind of thing makes me more worried than inspired.

Yeah. Gold and green? Bad fashion sense. At least it's not black and purple, that would have ME worried.

Emergency landing for Olympic aerial photography plane

An aircraft being used for aerial shots of the 2012 Olympic Games had to make a forced landing at Cambridge Airport.

The King Air B200, which was being used as an airborne relay station, had to land after suffering a loss of its electrical system.

Operators, ASL of Belgium, said the pilot had to navigate on Saturday night using only charts and a compass.

ASL also said the plane's landing gear retracted and the aircraft "fell" on the runway but no-one was hurt.

The Civil Aviation Authority was notified and the airport has been given permission to remove the plane from the runway.

Gold medal for that landing then.

10 for difficulty and 10 for execution. He really stuck the landing.

The South Korea vs China female team bow contest final was ultra-tight. Under typical english showers and rainbows, South Korea won the Gold by 1 little point ! Amazing.

Best music of the opening ceremony, imo:

And I Will Kiss - Underworld (feat.Dame Evelyn Glennie)

I think this was the best song:

I was amazed to hear it - it shows you that properly good music never dies!
