Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[story]

Why are the children wearing their pyjamas?

 

[8ball]

one of them kids just signed 'cunt' instead of 'queen'

 

[AverageJoe]

Rubbish singing! Yay!

They're deaf.

 

[quimcunx]

They're marching very out of time with each other

They're the only off duty ones. I expect they're drunk. Just back from 'stan.

 

[yardbird]

The Queen was a good sport!

Can't be denied.

 

[Fez909]

Whenever the armed forces come out for anything, on any entertainment show or whatever, I always think it's crap. That's not even taking into account my politics etc.

 

[Corax]

Rubbish singing! Yay!

I think they said they're deaf though, so it's probably not bad going really...

 

[DexterTCN]

Why are the children wearing their pyjamas?

wouldnt want them naked now

 

[SpookyFrank]

If this gets any more inclusive it's gonna include a big pile of my vomit.

 

[mrs quoad]

They're deaf.

Which is an awesome choice, whichever way you look at it

 

[free spirit]

WTF? Marching in step ain't difficult FFS!

army, navy & airforce though, they aren't going to march in step with the other services are they?

 

[starfish]

Yaay, the dancing nurses.

 

[DexterTCN]

maybe the excorcist music will kick off patrick bateman

 

[prunus]

This is a bit surreal - patients?

 

[story]

I'm glad the NHS is being celebrated.

 

[Corax]

Are we going to witness a dramatisation of the NHS being fucking privatised?

 

[agricola]

Yaay, the dancing nurses.

sponsored by ATOS

 

[mrs quoad]

Yaay, the dancing nurses.

With Mike Oldfield?!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Crushed

I've found this for you

In the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the Greek flag led the parade, while the Greek team marched in last, as the host nation.

 

[Barking_Mad]

they would have got more patients and staff of great ormand street, but due to the cutbacks they were either dead or laid off.

 

[Espresso]

No shit, Hazel Irvine.
SHUTUP!

 

[Corax]

wouldnt want them naked now

But later?

 

[quimcunx]

I think they said they're deaf though, so it's probably not bad going really...

Don't make excuses for them.

Who chose Danny Boyle? Good choice.

 

[DJ Squelch]

The NHS, oh the Fox commentators in the US must be panicking "Oh my god, socialists"

 

[quimcunx]

A celebration of the NHS!

 

[DexterTCN]

But later?

Not too much later, it's a school night.

 

[mrs quoad]

Omfg.

 

[prunus]

No shit, Hazel Irvine.
SHUTUP!

[twentythreedom]

Loads of foreign viewers must be thinking wtf?

 

[8ball]
