    Pyeongchang... the insomniacs games! :D

    Better if you are working during the day though. ;-)

    I missed such a lot of the games action during the day. It is much better to watch 'live' rather than some cobbled together highlights with C Balding and the Trolley!

    Looks like they might be doing what Canada did and extinguishing a copy of the flame.

    Hope the animals aren't too flammable.

    Is the bear going to sneeze on the flame to put it out?

    Animals always get to me. Even toy ones, it seems! Feeling very emotional!

    Yeah but you get to work all grumpy and tired and fall asleep the next night and miss all the action.

    That was beautifully done.

    I think London has become a trendsetter ...... for once I have enjoyed this ceremony.

    Would have been nice for all 3 of them to have got their sticks with the marshmallows at the end out before the flame was extinguished.

    The last thing you want is kids traumatised at the sight of three animals going up in flames. :D

    I was on Seoul time during thir Olympics, slept during the evening and got up at 1 am ...... it was either that or miss it all. I was far too young to get tired, might be different in 2018!!

    Think that year may have been the last time both ITV and BBC covered the Olympics. Not Red Button in those days, just BBC1, BBC2 and ITV.
