Has the thing with the fake fireworks been in the English media, yet?

Yep. But that's just the green eyed monster reporting.

It opens a wonderful new range of possibilities. For example, you could build all the sporting facilites in the Scottish Highlands (or somewhere) where the land is cheap and just photoshop it into Central London. The money you'd save! (And you can blame the Chinese for having started it.)

Heh, I love this plan. 
Surely for 2012 we need to start billing it as 'The Green Olympics', the most enviromentally friendly opening ceremony ever. No fireworks, no laser light shows, just four community service volunteers holding up the letters 'G' 'O' 'G' 'B' hopefully in the right order.
Cheapest opening ceremony ever. Sorted.

Parts of the fireworks were filmed a year ago and have been *sexed up*.

Like the moon landing?
You are Ellie, and I claim my £5.
I'm watching the badminton. It's painful! 
All sport is painful. Watch BBC London News.
But I'm hooked now! I hate Robertson so much. >_<
I hate sports so much. 
I can't believe that they're planning on putting Olympic officials up in hotels on Park Lane, and shipping them across the whole of flipping London every day. Mad.
Boycott London 2012.
How do you think we could manage that?
Urgh Robertson! Katie just messaged me saying that "he's only so arrogant because he's totally tapping Emms"!
