    on the Chinese opening ceremony? They're saying it was all very spectacular but they were very selective in what they showed of China's 5000 year history. "It was as if Chairman Mao never existed."

    But hang on... they're not going to show the bad bits are they? Does this mean in 2012 we're going to have to show the bloody invasion of many countries to create the British Empire? I think they've forgotten that one.

    Odd isn't it...

    They can spend all that money on fireworks and lights and dancing...but yet, people are still going hungry in Africa.

    Wowzers.
