It's been entertaining but give it a few months and it will all be just a distant memory. The news will be back to Politicians bickering about the recession and the discontent of reality will deepen.
We were lucky to have the Olympics to help cheer up a miserable summer but I think the long term legacy will be negligible. Perhaps in another 60 years there will be more nostalgia, as there was this year for the last London Games.

Pity he hasn't surfaced on Accyweb. His kneejerk reactions would fit right in in some places.
