btw - Excuse the look of the site right now. I’ve had a few problems with the previous theme* or a plugin or a combination of the two.
This meant that the site would only partially load or cause problems for certain browsers.
I’m trying to find a safe but acceptable WP theme.
Many thanks to Sam for letting me know of the problem.

*It may have been K2’s ‘floating’ history navigation in case anyone else is trying it out.

UPDATE - Hopefully back to the old theme with advanced navigation off - If anyone’s having problems, please let me know. Cheers.

British Olympic Association Rules Out Beijing Olympics Boycott

I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this - I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
Further Update
A higher resolution image is HERE with a couple of updates to the logo and I have removed my tag as it distracts from the piece.
Update - Seems a few folk like this one, so here are the wallpapers :

It just wouldn’t be good form to rock the boat, what with the British Olympics coming up four years later.
At least the Chinese can produce a descriptive logo.
