Paralympics Opening Ceremony

[QueenOfGoths]

Anyone going to be watching

David Cameron can fuck off

 

[magneze]

Aye. Normal TV has been shit since the Olympics finished.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Get Boris off and get on with the show

 

[colacubes]

Aye We're going to the pub to watch it shortly where a number of the regulars will be waiting to cheer Mrs M's other half when he appears on screen Unfortunately we're currently waiting at home for someone to pop round with a borrowed tent

 

[Maggot]

Blind Lemon is in it?!!!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Maybe. No one's sure whether he'll be on TV he may just be doing the warm-up.

 

[Pickman's model]

Blind Lemon is in it?!!!

Yep, straightaway made sure he got in "it's not what you can't do, it's what you can do". Now where have we all heard that before

 

[IC3D]

Hmm, the war on perpetual terror seems to be giving us plenty of paralympians, maybe for another thread though.

Has someone stole the Albert's roof then?

 

[Badgers]

The telly in the Albert is borked so no ceremony here

 

[IC3D]

Is it supposed to sound like this?

Ritzy?

[QueenOfGoths]

Oooh Ian McKellan

 

[Lea]

Watching it on Ch4 now. Liking it alot. More stylish than the one for Olympics one in my opinion.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Those sway poles look like good fun

 

[twentythreedom]

We need Krishnan Guru-Dimbleby on the mic tbh

 

[neonwilderness]

The Queen looks a bit more cheerful this time round

 

[magneze]

Wheelchair powered fruit.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The Queen looks a bit more cheerful this time round

I noticed that

I'm thinking this ceremony will appeal worldwide a bit more unlike the Olympic Ceremony which was lost on a lot of the world

 

[fat Andy]

Never appreciated the BBC until I saw the wobbly HD picture and terrible sound that C4 are giving us

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Where's Phil? Is he skiving!

 

[magneze]

Where's Phil? Is he skiving!

Pissing.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Where's Phil? Is he skiving!

He's sick.

Luckily he's not on benefits though as he'd probably have them taken away

 

[magneze]

Adverts?

 

[Lea]

Never appreciated the BBC until I saw the wobbly HD picture and terrible sound that C4 are giving us

And the adverts!

 

[fat Andy]

Oh, adverts.......time for tea

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I reckon BBC purposely undercut Channel 4 for the rights. £4m is a huge difference in price

Considering how much they paid for the Olympics, you'd think they could have offered more than £5m

Telly back working
