Good news on the Games front

Ah, something positive to talk about for a change:

Olympic fans who failed to secure tickets for the main events can now look forward to the next best thing: watching the Games on huge TV screens across the capital.

In a bid to ensure as many people as possible get to share the Olympic experience, screens will be set up at the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven and in the city's 24 Olympic cultural squares, Zhao Dongming, director of BOCOG's culture and ceremonies department, said yesterday.

Even of you can't make it to the stadium, like me and nearly everyone else in the city, this looks like its going to provide a pretty good time.
