So the 2008 Beijing Olympics have finished. This white man watched as the closing ceremony was completed last night with what looked like a million fireworks and a million performers out on centre stage. And of course there was Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis' rendition of the Led Zeppelin classic "Whole Lotta Love". Still can't get that legendary guitar riff out of my head! David Beckham was there, looking the part and saying it best by saying nothing at all! The British icon of icons, the London red double-decker bus trundled around the track as the other red immovable object, the Red Army stepped out in force goose-stepping their way around the Bird's Nest. And the Olympic juggernaut officially moves on to London 2012.
So whilst Olympic memories remain this white man is just a little bit pleased to be able to look into his green guide and see the range of TV programs he's used to. Yes the games were a healthy diversion but there's no place like Home (& Away)!

PS Colin... are you serious? Home and Away? That's got to be one of the dodgiest Aussie shows ever. :)
And I'm still trying to figure out which part of the Olympic closing ceremony was fake.
Haha :)
