Good point Bednobs, yet again, not thinking things through!

[excelsior-1]

home team always is last out.

[4getmenot]

[magicmick]

Does the host nation come out last ? never really watched all this before.

[sherrardk]

Ok, didn't think it out properly, I've got it now.

[MarkRae]

They reckon Team GB will emerge around midnight. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that's how they planned it... ;-)

[excelsior-1]

standard procedure..
greece always first out
host country always last out.

I'm still looking forward to the Jimmy Saville lookey-likey lighting the cauldron thing.

[Prudie]

I'm so gutted I didn't get to see Nadal carrying the flag (because he's pulled out).

I cannot describe how disappointed I am that the Congo weren't in single file in the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

[sherrardk]

Elvis, that would have been ace!
