I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms now the Olympics have finished. It's been two weeks of exciting sport and beautiful scenery from China.

The only thing I was disappointed in was Great Britain's display in the closing ceremony. Surely we could have done better than a footballer kicking a ball out of a double decker bus.

I can't see any nation coming near to China's opening and closing ceremonies. They were superb.

Come on Great Britain think up something fantastic to compete with what we have all had the pleasure in watching.

Well done to all our athletics, winners and losers. I've been greatly entertained.

5,000 Morris Dancers in the opening ceremony I hear. The climax will be Eddy the Eagle skiing off the roof onto the pitch at Wembley.

They certainly won't be letting Beckham kick a ball into the crowd at the opening ceremony. Think of the compo claim...

Its getting stupid now, all those atheletics she enjoyed and raises hell about opening and closing ceremonies!

The lady does not appear to be raising hell, all she is saying is that could we do better with our opening and closing ceremonies in 2012. (not - ceromonies) - as you call them

the whole point is to remember Britain, a fiasco will do just as well.

That's something Britain is very good at, remember the millennium dome and the millennium bridge anyone?
