  Yeah cool idea, maybe have a live webcam? Why not release the song Lewis and Jimmy Page did so the money made can go into funding?

  HiIt looks really impressive. I've had a look at the maps and pictures of what the Olympic village and the arena's will look like and I must say it really looks fantastic.My husband and I live in Denmark. I'm danish and he's english. I've tried to sign up for the volunteer program but it's only for Uk citizens unfortunately.It's a shame because I could definitely work as a translator. I've also got first aid certificate and know CPR.... I shall just have to come anyway... :-)/Karin

  Now that the rest of Britain has caught up with what a brilliant event London 2012 is, let's really hit back at the cynics and make it work.Engage the children, focus on the positives and kick the gloom merchants of the media into touch. Lets have a country that pulls together to support this superb occasion - and that includes ALL media.Richard

  I hope they will get it all done in time and not take any short cuts but i'm not expecting them to though lol, what i've seen on the news etc it looks amazing even though it's slightly smaller than Beijing's lol they have more space than us and we are going to do things they didn't for example have more screens for the people without tickets to see the events.

  The time lapse video is a brilliant idea, and yes, I second the suggestion that we have similar videos showing what's happening to the Olympic park as a whole, and to various buildings. Great job, and good luck to everyone involved - hope we stay within budget. And also hope I get picked to be a volunteer.

• 31 Aug 2008, 07:43PM, missdenmark said:
