The importance of flags!

So a great start to the Olympics!

North Korea plays football so which flag gets raised?

Yup, South Korea!

How dumb can you be? How politically insensitive?

I'm not surprised the North Koreans walked off!

Doesn't bode well (if you are the superstitious type) and I can't help thinking that such laxity might just sneak in other places too!

Yep pretty monumental considering the animosity between the two countries concerned . My thought is that as this gaff happened before the official start of the Games and away from London that in fact it will put the officials on alert and hopefully a lesson will have been learnt. Wish it hadn't happened in this neck of the woods though ( hope it wasn't a )bg(

with a naughty sense of humour yike*

Those people need to lighten up , then there wouldn't be so much tension between them.

Well as Chris Evans said yesterday morning on Radio 2, if that's the only thing to go wrong, it can't be so bad after all )t'
