Sorry if the above message confuses. Originally I had a different tweet posted, it disappeard when I deleted it from my Photobacket account (who knew that would happen, not me!) and when I tried to restore it, I posted the wrong one. Oops!. The original tweet was by some girlie called Helen, I was wondering who she was, will try to find original tweet. Have now given myself a headache

hmmm-- what was Ben doing there in the first place? I heard or read somewhere--that Our Benedict might be involved in hosting the olympics in some way--any truth to that?

Helen is a friend of Benedict's who tweeted to Cumberbatchweb his pleasure at the birthday video and donation effort on his behalf because he doesn't have (and is unlikey to get) at twitter account.

David Arnold stressed in a following tweet that is was purely a social visit and that Benedict has no role to play in the Olympics itself. It all starts soon and I'm very excited! Unlikely since he's in New Orleans at the moment.
