Oh dear! They showed the South Korean flag on the giant screen when it was North Korea on the pitch! Did the person in charge of the screen miss day one of the flag recognition course? Given the degree of 'friendship' between the two neighbours it was fairly disastrous. I wonder if anyone today is looking for a "New Korea"? (best to say that out loud to get it, by the way).
And another thing, whilst we're talking about the Olympics. I read in the paper that half of our athletes won't be out at the opening ceremony. Now I've done no research on this, but wasn't the idea that the opening ceremony was about the contestants from all the countries parading together to start the games? But now there's so much emphasis on the 'extravaganza' that the fact that 50% of the athletes won't even be there doesn't seem to matter. Sad, really, isn't it?
And finally, in honour of the games, I'm thinking of changing our answering machine so it kicks in after five rings ...
