Well, last night I watched the best fencers in the world compete. It was the semifinals and finals of the men's individual epee and the women's individual sabre. The fencers in the semi finals that I admired most for their style and verve were the ones who eventually won. The atmosphere was electric...

How did Danny Boyle convince everyone to keep this a secret? Awesome job!! 10,000 volunteers, 60,000 people at the dress rehearsals, all sworn to secrecy in an age of tweets and camera phones. One young athlete asked to light the cauldron didn't tell his parents and they went on holiday not knowing...

Thanks for the heads up hal. I will keep an eye out for her. Fencing is too fast for the average viewer. Crikey, even the referee has to see it in slow motion before he awards points! I have been watching some online on the BBC site to get in the mood. I just love the sound of a fencing salle, the c...

More on the opening ceremony: Ever since Beijing us Brits have been cringing at the potential embarrassment of our own efforts. No one thought we were up to matching it. Luckily and sensibly they didn't try to. I sat down to watch it prepared to be cynical and to cover my eyes. I was wrong. It said ...

I do agree that the worst thing he can do is appear to be hiding something and then whine how it's unfair. Which, inexplicably, is what he appears to be doing. It can get worse. He can finally submit to pressure and release them which will show him to be hiding something, sounding like a whiner AND...

Yes it is bizarre. The Professor could sometimes explore an unusual idea and test out his support for it. I remember once in a discussion about deserts and wastelands he said he sometimes felt vegetation was a fungoid growth on the Earth. I don't remember the exact quote or its location but it shows...

On a more serious note, although Romney's varied positions about abortion are well known, I found this article interesting. If it is to be believed it indicates his liberal stance was something coordinated with his church in order increase his chance of gaining power in a liberal area of the US> htt...
