Think it's bad having to sit through all this? Imagine being a Greek athlete.

Yeah, but they get one of the biggest cheers for being first on

 

[claphamboy]

did they search the americans for guns?

It's not a movie premiere.

Jamaica rocking it looks nothing like the wire statue tribute on Loughborough Road. Bit pissed off about that to be honest.

So we had the suffragettes on earlier - and yet 100 years later we still feel that the ceremony isn't complete without pretty girls to hold up the signs with the country names on?

 

[Fez909]

One thing that's annoying/bothering me: what are the girls with the country names wearing? They look, to my untrained eye, to be wearing Polish/Austrian/similar-inspired dresses. Anyone explain? Same with the girl/boy carrying the kettles? What are they meant to be?

Stan Collymore has just tweeted his 301,000 followers about Burley.

Yeah, but that's because women can multi-task. They're walking and holding a banner

Yeah, I noticed that as well. The kettle carriers are male AND female, but the country name carriers are exclusively female.

Bit of a dig at the chinese no? Internet is for everyone...

when this bit came on i was told that Tim is a zoophile and his zoophilia helped inspire the www's - supposedly if you google it you can read all about it. i cant be arsed right now.

I'm sure that will help the blisters and aching limbs.

Fuck me. bare royalties for Underworld

 

[Fez909]

Underworld have really done alright out of this. The music really suits the Olympics, though...aside from "lager lager...."
