Anyone know what the accordion music over the sick babies is?

I only popped in at the end of that - was it 'Music for a found harmonium' by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra?

Certainly was, thanks

I worked at most if not all the venues at the start, millions has been flung at it, its not in the scale of a world cup or an Olympics. No where near

That's the key point regarding the scale of this event. I’m not sure why people are referencing or comparing this with London 2012.

Well, it is tartan but it is honking.

Bet the tall blonde Carol Kirkwood is delighted every time Rod has to take his hand out from her skirt and go back on stage.

Edit- Makes me so proud every time I see a cockney singing about Scotland. Where did I put my Chaz & Dave do Lulu CD?

I just get annoyed at the constant asking for money for this that and the next thing at every opportunity and how we are all made to feel like winners because we gave money to a charity.
