Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[Corax]

I thought that it was obvious why Greece was first but when I read everyone scratching their heads here, I started to doubt myself.

Is it done in order of national debt?

 

[quimcunx]

the show. just walking now

What?

 

[Espresso]

I am waiting to cheer for my adopted tiny team from Vanuatu. I have a beer ready to toast them with.
Those of you who have not adopted a tiny team will have no idea what I'm talking about.

Come on, eccentric british sense of humour fail, guys...

i think what you mean is that lord camomile wasn't funny.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well none of them have been directed by Danny Boyle before.

They all follow a similar format and the athletes order is always the same

I had a Magnum icecream for my adopted teams

you can adopt as large or small a team as you want, and even ply them with alcohol. they'll see through you nonetheless, and you won't get your end away with them.

I must have missed our team. Were we under "G" or "B"?

At the end I think they said.

I want to go to bed but I also have curiosity over who lights the flame.

 

[Fez909]

Missed it; what was the reason?

The faces of the people who wanted to take part

 

[quimcunx]

They all follow a similar format and the athletes order is always the same

Which means nothing if you haven't seen one before.

Hence my comment that "I get the impression lots of people haven't watched an Olympic Opening Ceremony before"

Bugger.
I was hoping for a bit of late night Vanuatu action, too. You have crushed my dreams. You cad.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

ah, have found out what the country name carriers are wearing now on their dresses

Please tell me

 

[Firky]

Oh Christ, they're playing U2.

Come on, quirky british sense of humour fail, guys...

But it wasn't humorous.

 

[twentythreedom]

Do we come out as UK in this? Team GB wtf is it then?

 

[Pickman's model]

Please tell me

a carrying thing of course

 

[free spirit]

paging underworld... Ireland ain't part of GB now

 

[Libertad]

Who invited Bono?

 

[story]

Please tell me

And me. I didn't understand what you said earlier.

At the end I think they said.

It's already been leaked. Barry From Eastenders.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oi, easy, you've already accused me of being sensible

 

[quimcunx]

Hence my comment that "I get the impression lots of people haven't watched an Olympic Opening Ceremony before"

Hence me pointing out Danny Boyle hasn't directed one before so why bother.

Oh Christ, they're playing U2.




But it wasn't humorous.

Maybe not, but it was a running joke on this thread.

That's not true is it?

 

[krtek a houby]

((((( Taiwan )))))

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Please tell me

Something to do with volunteers who didn't get picked to participate I think

(That's what b/f said but he gets things muddled)

 

[Corax]

Do we come out as UK in this? Team GB wtf is it then?

I thought I must have missed us under "G" or "B"!

We must be coming out in "U" then.

 

[quimcunx]

Do we come out as UK in this? Team GB wtf is it then?

Do we come out last as host? Or is that Greece? Minnie knows.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That's not true is it?

Yeah, I read it a few days ago from someone in the know

 

[claphamboy]

how come you managed to spell all that correctly then?

Pickers, let me introduce you to what is called a spell checker, sadly it's a yank one, but WTF, you're still a pratt.
