day 8 and opening night

Well day eight i was getting worried and thinking they had prefabricated the bridge and were gonna hang it up on the weird thing they had built because what they had built was NOT a bridge i tried to play ball i emailed them i tried to be nice i wanted to be the official blogger of the build but after getting no reply my love for all thing Aussie


opening night it is 11:32 i am in the car (to many unsecured networks) post bridge opening and i was wholly unimpressed the Encarta definition of a bridge is "a Structure that allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle such as a river or canal or railway etc" i saw two man roped to the bridge pulling themselves across the so called bridge i could swim across the tyne is that a bridge because i can cross it i can more so than their bridge and then they VERY VERY slowly set it on fire i have pictures i took but after being surrounded by lots of people from different countries that i hope didn't come especially they didn't come out to good

Day 6 I see London I see France I see Some Large Grade Fairly Substantial rigging going up across the tyne
