From the bits and pieces I inadvertantly saw as I passed my TV (always on Sky News with the sound off) the opening of the Olympics demonstrated a rather obvious pedigree. From Barnum & Bailey to Max Reinhardt via Joseph Goebbels through Las Vegas and finally to Peking. My dears, simply too, too vulgar!

I've been trying to reach the Oliver Kamm page and it keeps asking me for a password. I've just tried again from your link with the same result. Is it a mistake from the computer or something has happened to that blog?

Claudio, greetings! Yes, I've had the same problem and I haven't a clue what's going on. I shall e-mail Oliver and ask. I'll let you know.

Pfiuu!! I thought it was my computer's firewall or something like taht. Thank you so much!
I saw also a touch of Disney. Seeing the reactions, seems to me that China knew exactly what was expected from her to get a 'wow'.

Yes, Walt Disney, you are quite right, wish I'd thought of it.
Still no news from Oliver Kamm.
