I along with the rest are all for show of a little patriotism, but do you think it is appropriate for part of the opening ceremony to "MENTION THE WAR".
Paul McCartney is said to be taking part also, couldn't we do better, what would you wish to be included in the Opening Ceremony?

Look - I'm yanking you. Robbie outsells Dizzee...but Dizzee is more relevent than Robbie (especially after the sales disaster of his last solo effort - 'Rubebox' anyone? Shudder).
After seeing what is planned for the opening ceremony (some kind of giant version of 'All Creatures Great and Small'), it appears that there will be no room for a great British superband.
Pity.

That's a possibility, but there's also the danger that it cold be as boring as hell. You could celebrate great British authors and the history of Britain, but over and above everything else, it has to be entertaining (hence The hologram of Patrick Stewart reading Shakespeare).
I suspect a superband made up of Bowie, the Stones, Adele, Clapton and Collins, followed by a 'new generation' superband consisting of Plan B, Tinie Tempah, The Streets, Dizzee Rascal and Taio Cruz would have more 'traction' audience-wise than say, Simon Schama and Peter Ackroyd reading extracts from their latest tomes.

Sounds like the clips that the host country shows during Eurovision; shots of peasants merrymaking in national dress, and scenes of rural life.
Did you know that Olympic tickets are freely available still ? FNAC, a French equivalent of Amazon, but which has a ticket agency for pop concerts etc, has 4 pages of them, including the 100m final (granted at 1800 euros when I last looked) but the tennis finals come in at about 280 euros.
