The big one is only five years away… so we packed a couple of diggers, a laser system, a crane and 205 of the organisers into our suitcase and headed on down to the Olympic site to produce a press friendly photo for our new chums at LOCOG. (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games). Despite winds strong enough to blow the toupee off Bruce Forsyth and rain hard enough to fill our wellies (polished to a shine post Glastonbury) in minutes. We came up with goods. Now we’re just holding out for our complimentary tickets to the Women’s Beach Volleyball.

After the highly successful Pokémon Diamond & Pearl launch-event Cake stopped for some snaps for the album with teen-rockers McFly.

Monica.

Over 200 journalists and trade rocked away till the small hours and had a
chance to try out some of the latest software being released over the next
few months.
