Frenzy

Is it possible that the opening ceremony might be a little camp ?  Tiger Feet, by Mud, written by Chinn and Chapman in 1974 may have royalty and Rogge throwing a few shapes, but I'm beginning to understand why Trevor Nelson is holding Huw Edwards' hand in the commentary box.

Meanwhile, in other news, the tram service to MediaCityUK is down; thank god all the BBC Sports team are elsewhere.

Bells have been rung, but BBC Breakfast seem to miss the historic 08.12 dong from Big Ben. More later....
