I'm only interested in seeing the fireworks and drums and dancing again, I couldn't give a toss about the athletes marching or the torch lighting ceremony. I fell asleep in the middle of the thing with the boat paddles, that would have been good to see the rest of. My husband nodded off at 9.30pm and didn't wake up until 8.30am so he managed to miss both airings completely!patchouligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462983717621525841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-66399853499430500102008-08-09T12:45:00.000+10:002008-08-09T12:45:00.000+10:00I wouldn't voluntarily get up that early on a Satu...I wouldn't voluntarily get up that early on a Saturday morning, except the kids drag me out of bed to watch the cartoons.<BR/><BR/>Watching the opening ceremony highlights, I was a little surprised to see that only Greece, Australia, some little African nation, and China were competing.

Still a bit of an uncivilised hour if you ask me. (There was no specific mention of the opening ceremony rerunning in the herald tv guide so I didn't know until I checked Primes website).
