[8ball]

well, we've just given 6 billion people a massive wtf moment

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I thought we were all on the your thoughts thread then loads got bumped and now i'm all over the shop.

I think we've been welded together

 

[DJ Squelch]

Oooh that was pretty cool actually.

 

[Fez909]

Threads merged I think

 

[agricola]

who is responsible for the music, i quite like it.

according to iTunes, it was Underworld

 

[mrs quoad]

All of it I think.

Seems to've ended

And now, a McWord from our sponsors

 

[prunus]

Wait, what? Screw the queen.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That must depend on whether our admin registered our lot as GB or UK.

No it doesn't. The host nation always goes last. Greece always goes first.

 

[Barking_Mad]

according to iTunes, it was Underworld

Fucking sellouts!

 

[Epona]

I am not quite sure what to say.

 

[quimcunx]

Can't wait for the bit where they're all Maccy D operatives, call centre workers and IT nerds.

 

[mrs quoad]

James Bond wut?

I hope this is better than the time Maggie did Yes Minister.

 

[Fez909]

Should've been Helen mirram

 

[agricola]

James Bond and the Queen? This is officially the best thing of all time.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ah, didn't see this bit.

Ha, they actually got the Queen in it!

 

[ddraig]

big up Boyle
loads rave imagery in there
pretty impressive too! not £24million + worth tho

 

[prunus]

Phil looks ecstatic.

 

[quimcunx]

No it doesn't. The host nation always goes last. Greece always goes first.

And when greece hosted it? Was it like those old group photos where they ran round the back from one side to the other?

 

[Boppity]

The Queen was a good sport!

 

[mrs quoad]

Speaking for forinn nationals everywhere, Artichoke says "the fuck? Is this serious? Is this humorous? Is this British humour?"

 

[quimcunx]

The traditional ranting racist cabbie!

 

[AverageJoe]

Fuck all you naysayers. This is ace

 

[Espresso]

The real life actual QUEEN?
Hah! I love it.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Between Wiggins & all those Brunel lookalikes the whole world will think we all wear massive sideburns (and next year we probably all will).

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

And when greece hosted it? Was it like those old group photos where they ran round the back from one side to the other?

Yep, then started and then ran to back of queue again

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bits of this are starting to make so much more sense now. We only ever heard a helicopter, had no idea what the fuck was going on.

 

[Barking_Mad]

please dont let the chopper crash....

 

[quimcunx]

Fuck all you naysayers. This is ace

Who are the naysayers?

 

[prunus]

Yep, then started and then ran to back of queue again

Did they really? Please say yes.

 

[Frankie Jack]

The fuck is this all about..?? Trying to convince us all of the whole British thing or what? Where's the spectacle and excitement. From hobbits to huge chimney to her maj.. Fuck that..
