Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[quimcunx]

I read that a politician (probably Jeremy Cunt) wanted Danny Boyle to take the NHS bit out but Cameron overruled him. Don't know how true it is

The first bit sounds true. The second bit doesn't.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell it gets bad to worse! What's the relevance to sport? Utter wank!

It's not supposed to be all about sport, it's a celebration of the host nation. Beijing wasn't all about sport either.

 

[Belushi]

This is fucking mental, I'm enjoying it but fuck knows what most of the world is thinking

 

[Boppity]

Was the guy who wrote this tripping?

Its a shame because he is still responsible for by far the most entertaining thing to happen today.

 

[8ball]

they just got the lens assignment wrong, which will have caused pain to many a 3d viewer (or just me)

 

[elbows]

Waving their pixels in public, filth.

 

[DexterTCN]

are they going to do dr who?

 

[twentythreedom]

Trevor Nelson sure ain't no Dimbleby

 

[Corax]

Trevor Nelson there, explaining that the nurses were IRL health professionals, hence their complete lack of rhythm

Doctors and nurses always get all the fucking glory. Where were the commissioners and the pathway redesign analysts?

 

[equationgirl]

It's eccentric for sure

 

[editor]

I'd like a glowing bed.

The first bit sounds true. The second bit doesn't.

I know. The second part is definitely someone trying to cover their arses I reckon

 

[quimcunx]

It's eccentric for sure

very british then.

Doctors and nurses always get all the fucking glory. Where were the commissioners and the pathway redesign analysts?

Being paid £24m, whilst the nurses are all volunteers

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is fucking mental, I'm enjoying it but fuck knows cares what most of the world is thinking

 

[equationgirl]

I'd like a glowing bed.

I'd never sleep

 

[Fez909]

Fingers crossed oasis don't feature. Hopefully rave culture will.

 

[Big Gunz]

Those beds could have been put to better use, like a few thousand homeless people in this Great country!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Big baby is freaky

 

[Espresso]

The gigantic baby in the jelly bed was a bit frightening.

 

[story]

It's eccentric for sure

I can imagine in the meeting:

"How shall we celebrate English eccentricity?"

".... Nah... why bother... no-one gets us anyway..."

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Was the guy who wrote this tripping?

I think a tab of acid should be issued as part of the licence fee, to enhance enjoyment of this...

 

[scooter]

I bet North Korea liked the NHS bit. Might forgive us for the flag cock up

 

[SpookyFrank]

I like this, it's a load of deranged bollocks. British through and through in other words.

 

[prunus]

I too would like to know this. There's some SHITE being talked now.

It appears to be commentary-free on a channel called 'BBC Olympic 1' that has recently appeared on my Freesat.

 

[free spirit]

balls, I thought the red button might have no commentary... alas the twats are still there.

 

[story]

I'd never sleep

I'd never want to sleep.

 

[mrs quoad]

Will anyone abroad get the chariots of fire ref?

I just explained it to Artichoke, who's promptly fucked off to retrieve the cat.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Ha ha!

I said Mr Bean would be in it!
