Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

Still can't believe they pulled it off with no cock ups.

I never expected any major cock-up for the opening, the Brits are good at theater, this is theater - FFS look at yourself in a mirror, the Brits are good in the theater.

I heard two and saw one...now can't remember the 2nd audio one it started floyd and turned into something else

Saw one, heard one. I'll probably watch the entire thing again at some point so will keep my eyes and ears open
