Olympic Opening Ceremony, London 2012

[Gingerman]

Can hear the fireworks from New Cross

 

[quimcunx]

Are those olympic rings really in space?

 

[Badgers]

This is like the end of the 3rd LOTR film. Who is lighting? What is happening?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, that was pretty good.

I'm pretty sure I just heard the cheer from the stadium

 

[Firky]

Paul McCartney, am going for a piss. I can't stand him.

 

[AverageJoe]

Oh, turn the sound off on him again like the other week

 

[Bernie Gunther]

I recommend that anyone who is on Twitter ask Adrian Burley why he hangs out with wankers dressed as Nazis.

Is it some horrid fetish, like pig slurry man, or is he just another far-right Tory cunt?

 

[Fez909]

First fuck up....what's going on with the backing track to Paul.

Trust a Beatle, the fucking darlings of British culture, to fuck it up.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

wtf

Sounds shit

There better be more fireworks. Lord Mayor's show has loads more than that

 

[killer b]

Did they fuck up the sound on macca? Nice one.

 

[free spirit]

The Queen's going to start wondering who this McCartney bloke is who keeps turning up at her parties.

 

[ska invita]

more pink flloyd

 

[twentythreedom]

Floyd ftw

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ok I skipped two hours in the middle but I'm still very impressed. £27 million quid? A fucking bargain.

I suppose someone thought "Austerity: better not show off too much".

 

[Corax]

The hard hats were a bit daft.

Did you not get that bit?

It was a tribute to the British tradition of blaming health & safety for decisions that are governed by insurance companies.

I seem to remember his mike was off at Live Aid, as well...

The Chinese did choreographed and fireworks. We cannot compete. We're doing batshit insane and nostalgia. Good move from Danny Boy.

 

[Lord Camomile]

someone in london please confirm these aren't CGI fireworks.

Can confirm. Heard them first, thought it was downstairs' TV. Missed a lot of it, got one pic, will see if I can upload it...

They are still fucking up the sound.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

Paul mcCartney is starting to resemble ken dodd

 

[SpookyFrank]

Nice to see the years have finally caught up with Macca as well. He looks bloody awful.

 

[terrythomas]

[paulhackett]

I seem to remember his mike was off at Live Aid, as well...

Not a bad idea as he can't sing any more

 

[ska invita]

rio are going to look like bastards for going back to the one cauldron thing

 

[terrythomas]

[Espresso]

And at the bloody Jubilee.
Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey stole that show. They should have got this gig ahead of Paul McCartney.

 

[twentythreedom]

Has the false flag alien invasion thing happened yet?

 

[Pickman's model]

[Belushi]

The rest of the world must think we're barking, but thats no bad thing
