Great post Mojo sums up pretty much how I felt about it.
I was cynical at first but the opening ceremony won me over and I was into the whole thing. After all the regimentalism and military precision of the Beijing Olympics this one seemed a lot more fun & offbeat and did a pretty good job of summing up British culture.

I thought the BBC was just a little too pro Team GB but I think they can be forgiven for that in the circumstances.

Personal non Team GB highlight, the Ugandan guy winning the marathon. If you're going to get your countries first medal in decades do it in style at the biggest party in the country.
