Wow, I thought I hated the Olympics (I always have before!) but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I thought the opening ceremony was genuine and surprisingly 'real' in the sense of representing British culture. I'm not even vaguely patriotic, often the opposite in fact, but I was touched by it. And I hate watching sports, like football/rugby/whatever, but athletics I find quite enjoyable to watch, especially stuff like diving and gymnastics : D ending ceremony was a bit crap but had some good parts.
