Being told of the “tremendous support” for the British canoers/kayakers before the start of each run they do.

Watching replays of action from just a few hours ago when it is obvious we didn’t win any medals - if we did it would be the headline story.

Watching Steve Redgrave and John Inverdale whisper as they present the rowing so as to avoid disturbing the Australian broadcaster Channel 7 and NBC who commentate in the pens either side of them.

Oh why? It’s the Olympics.

And the opening ceromony was faked, both the fireworks and the singing.

China’s response to the earthquake in the Sichuan province over the past few days has shown that the country has changed. Previously the Chinese government has heavily censored disaster reports, however Chinese state media does appear to be showing a true picture of the problems, and the pictures have been seen around the world. The Chinese have been immediate in their response, dispatching the army to lead rescue efforts a huge contrast from the recent Burma Cyclone.
