Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[8ball]

Short of a gigantic inflatable Alan Moore punching Hitler, I don't know that they could have done much more with that ceremony.

Oh, that would have made my year.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well as we have to wait forever for GB, time to make a cup of tea

 

[twentythreedom]

I need a poo now, excellent timing

 

[equationgirl]

Peace sign I think you'll find

I think you are incorrect, sir.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Good idea. I need a pee

 

[agricola]

The flags are being put outside Bilbo's house now.

 

[DexterTCN]

god we're still in 'a'

 

[Pickman's model]

I think you are incorrect, sir.

Yer man's link says that as well as being a wehrmacht unit badge it is also a universal peace sign

 

[elbows]

Oh we are getting some random economic data in the commentary, oil wealth!

 

[DexterTCN]

daily show's comin on...i can nip over for half an hour...enjoy the walking

I like how shit it was. I used to get criticised when I left the mere hint of anything lying around when I was running relatively minor events. The Poms leave massive fake branches on the track and earpieces in 'sleeping (looking at the camera ) children'.

I do genuinely mean this in an affectionate way. It would've been shit if it was as clockwork as Beijing. Respect to Boyle. I was wrong. it was great. I love this mental country.

There's lots of people on Twitter a bit stumped by the Ceremony

 

[butchersapron]

[Corax]

Who are all these dickheads with the flags and stuff? They're ruining the Olympics!

 

[free spirit]

I presume underworld are still soundtracking this?

If I'd known it'd have been like this I might have boshed a pill, turned the lights off and danced round the living room.

actually I might have to try that, without the pill.

Get 'em orff

 

[agricola]

Belarus are wearing the Liverpool 1996 Cup Final suits?

 

[quimcunx]

Bollocks! I should have held on and waited for this bit to go to the shop.

What'd I miss? I left when the woman was singing at the massive orange globe.

But first, it was Algiz.

 

[Badgers]

That's for the finale after the athletes march

[The Boy]

Bag of shite.

 

[Gingerman]

Poor aul Zambians gonna have a long wait

 

[twentythreedom]

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I suppose in the absence of anything going on right now, we'll have to see which countries have the best hot hot totty

 

[Badgers]

Can someone call me when it gets interesting again. Cheers.
