Actually, I lied in the heading just to attract attention.

I would like to thank London for the enormous effort put into these Games, and I'm dreadfully sorry for what will happen next.

I caught snippets of the opening and closing ceremonies, and at the same time I just happened to be reading Ben Jonson (a statement which is believable by, I estimate, no one) when I came across this line:

"No country's mirth is better than our own."

I think this is true.
