“I think it might have been better if more people knew who Tim Berners-Lee is.”

To be honest, and much to the shame of my inner nerd, I thought he was Clive Sinclair.

Yes, and as ConservativeTeen pointed out, they STILL can’t bring their own flag to the Olympics.

I thought the Queen’s entrance was funny and I’m surprised she allowed it.

Can anyone explain why these US announcers are using the honorifics reserved for British subjects? “Her Majesty” “Sir Paul McCartney”.

Didn’t we fight two wars against this crap?

Firstly, we arent subjects. Thats a myth, we havent been for many years.

Secondly, thats what they are. Saying so isnt kowtowing to the Limeys. You are reading far too much into it.
