You would think they would cut to shots of her when she was smiling though. One shot showed her looking miserable and picking her nails.
The empty seats is peeing me off. I have been trying to get tickets for months - then I see all those empty seats.
I just wanted basic tickets just to say I have been to the olympic parks and an event

When I went last week (fencing test competition) there were 16 of us in it and nine could not get through security as their accreditation was not in place.
That was despite us all filing in loads of forms over a month ago. It took us over an hour to get through security !
In the end they called them "contractors" and checked them in anyway lol.
The place (ExCel Centre) was brilliant though, really looked good, and there were just hundreds of volunteers.
I was hoping to get "frisked" by a Gurkha-ette, but sadly it wasn't to be, although there was lots of fun when we stuck our kit bags through the XRay machines and it showed them stuffed with swords lol, the poor guys in charge of it didn't know if they should call security or not ;D

Certainly wouldn’t call our athletes second rate – I think we usually do brilliantly considering the size of our country.
