Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[Corax]

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

Why do Greece come out first?

 

[Lord Camomile]

But it wasn't humorous.

et tu, firkus?

We came out first and then pissed off to the pub

They said, GB come out at midnight.

 

[Firky]

The drummers must be knackered and dying for a slash.

 

[story]

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)

I imagine there would be many thousands of those.

 

[Pickman's model]

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.

your spellchecker's let you down

there's only one t in prat

 

[Firky]

et tu, firkus?

Sorry

 

[Corax]

Skirts on men look very silly when paired with blazers.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes, which makes me suspect he's got his information a bit muddled

 

[prunus]

That's not true is it?

Yes.

 

[free spirit]

oi - just no.

if U2 wanted in on the Olympics they should have got Ireland to join back up with the UK. As that hasn't happened they can piss right off.

 

[quimcunx]

Why do Greece come out first?

Maybe the way they spell it begins with Aa.

 

[prunus]

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

No, we came out first as hosts. Did you miss it?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

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

They've never watched an opening ceremony just because Danny Boyle wasn't directing?

 

[twentythreedom]

We must be coming out in "U" then.

 

[story]

Yes, which makes me suspect he's got his information a bit muddled

I find it more believable that Barry from Earbenders is lighting the cauldron.

 

[Fez909]

Tuvalu flagbearer is awesome.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking loving some of the national outfits, but you do wonder how many of them are their equivalent of gold-lined fucking hoodies.

 

[Pickman's model]

oi - just no.

i thought you knew that u2 were given a spot at this due to the great size of bono's ego.

 

[Espresso]

Torquay is Turkey in French.
Ace.
If I watched more Eurovison, I'd already know that.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe the way they spell it begins with Aa.

But as England is the host nation and you come out according to house the host nation comes out, then they come out under G so someone fucked up big time sending them out second after Great Britain. They're probably in the pub with the GB team by now

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yay! Zoe Smith got name-checked! Local girl

 

[elbows]

The twitter responses to AidanBurnleyMP are longer than this ceremony

 

[claphamboy]

You just love taking the piss out of people's disabilities, don't you?

What a sad little man you are.

 

[Lord Camomile]

The twitter responses to AidanBurnleyMP are longer than this ceremony

That has rather exploded on him

 

[Crispy]

Love those moustaches

 

[quimcunx]

Most of the tweeps I follow are Middle East commentators. All getting excited as their countries turn up with new flags etc. All claiming to be best looking.

 

[Firky]

You can tell some of the countries are just glad to be out there, like a labrador in the park, just pleased for a trip out

YANKS

 

[Fez909]

Big cheer for USA
