More on the Olympic Tickets
I have posted about the non-arrival of my Olympic tickets before, but tonight I got an e-mail describing the latest progress. This is an extract.
Thank you for applying for London 2012 Olympic tickets. As you will be aware, we have started to allocate tickets and are now taking payment from Visa credit and debit cards, as well as banking cheques and postal orders.
The vast majority of payments will be taken by next week (31 May), with the entire process completed by 10 June.
We will contact you before 24 June to let you know if you have been successful and, if so, which tickets you have been allocated.
So it does appear something is happening at last.
I do suspect though that lots of speculators have applied for lots of the major sessions and this is clogging the system up. We do know that things like the 100m metres final have been seriously oversubscribed.
The Anonymous Widower 
Perhaps it is just me, but surely if people are spending all that money on going to watch something, they would want something which lasts longer than a couple of minutes!
However, if would be tempted by the opening ceremony, and if I had bid for anything it would have been that. But I am not comfortable in very noisy and crowded places, and will instead find big screen showing.

With the athletics you get a whole session and although you might get the 100 m final, you get lots of other things too.
As for opening ceremonies, I’m with Prince Philip on those. He said someone should just welcome everybody and then you get on with it! I shall not be watching it.
