What is that for? Must be warming up for the closing ceremony.....

I think he's a guest on the in house stadium tv thingo, with some guy from sky sports

Ha ha! I was there on Saturday and thought I heard them say "Jarvis Cocker and Liz McColgan coming up" - but I thought I'd misheard. I actually logged on here to make sure. Unfortunately, I'd left before this came on.

Here's an article:

They played DYRTFT in the stadium? God I'd have been insanely excited about that.

Seems like Kim got more than a bit agitated over the stranglehold of the Olympic sponsors over food supplies on the site!

Her experience seems to confirm something of the fears I read about before the games - see ranty link below. They only let you buy McDonald's, but security forbid you taking in a significant amount of your own food, whatever that constitutes. I have seen a few annecdotal tales of people celebrating their minor triumphs of getting a few sarnies and a banana in successfully, but if you're going to be there for a significant part of the day, that won't see you too far. I don't know what the general experience has been in practice, may it's all negative scare-mongering. But I do feel a bit torn between really getting into the sporting side of things, which has been great and looks to have been an amazing experience for everyone watching, but not having the stomach for the airport-style security procedures and corporate control of the environs you appear to have to endure to get there. I suppose that's the price these days of anything being so truly global, that's a great and inspiring thing on the one hand, on the opening ceremony they said there were more nations participating in the Olympics than the UN. But the other side is that means it is such big business, it's the same with FIFA, Formula 1. Same with music ultimately, on the one hand you crave the recognition and love for your favourite band that you know they deserve, but on the other, that means stadiums and big business and everything that goes with that.

It does sound pretty grim. As a non-meat eating weed, I'd be pretty stuck as even McDonald's veggie deli burger things aren't actually vegetarian!

Which probably says a fair bit about the quality of the rest of their food.

Cracking hash browns, though...
