Olympic opening ceremony

So... do we think the one in London is going to be this swanky?

I think 2012 Opening should Play to Our Strengths (tm).

First off, the 'olympic' and 'paralympic' budgets should be the same.

Second off, we should learn from China - a really wonderful arial display is what's needed, with just a few clips of dancing. So that's three spitfires (including one flown by a woman), some vulcans, the Red Arrows and a lot of paragliders. Probably not fireworks.

Or perhaps we should have nothing to see AT ALL. Just music/sound.

If it's going to be (positively) British, it should be
a) funny.
b) diverse.
c) creative.
d) eccentric

I like that.
