The opening ceremony (the only good bit of the whole thing, in theory, although reality has not quite lived up to that billing)

[Nine Bob Note]

It's a GG-1000, looking for Charlotte Du Jardon no doubt...

 

[brogdale]

Is that one of those Ukrainian drone boat things?

 

[strung out]

This is like a 2003 saturday night out at the Reading uni students union

Just need a pint of snakebite

Hang on, were you there at that time too?!

(2002-2006 alumnus here…)

 

[brogdale]

What do you mean 'now'?

You know, back then...the last bonkers bit

 

[pbsmooth]

They were obviously pretty happy with the horse boat. “Do you think it needs something else? Nah just the horse moving for a long time”

 

[Aladdin]

That horse won't be winning any medals..

 

[Indeliblelink]

Sounds like Irene Dresel

 

[Aladdin]

This is too slow...

They should have shot them out if a cannon or something.

They might have written a longer piece of music for it, rather than just repeating it

2000-2003, but would have been there in 2004/5 a bit too

I have been craving cider! That's why!

 

[planetgeli]

YAY that's ace..

Horse on the water

Don't you think Urban's had enough of horses for one day?

Don't mention the horse.

And it was shit after 30 seconds of it anyway.

 

[Elpenor]

YAY that's ace..

Horse on the water

Now I want a Guinness

 

[Aladdin]

They've definitely done it differently.

I have enjoyed it..

 

[Aladdin]

So where is the torch?

 

[tommers]

Shoot the fucking horse. Jesus christ.

 

[tommers]

I mean I like the horse but I was 28 when I started watching this.

 

[tommers]

That horse is really sad.

 

[quimcunx]

Hope they didn't borrow one of our horses for this bit.

 

[Epona]

OMG that grey horse is gorgeous

 

[Elpenor]

So where is the torch?

Horse is going to light it’s farts with it shortly

 

[Aladdin]

Even the horse looks disappointed.

 

[souljacker]

I definitely saw the cut there.

 

[Aladdin]

OMG that grey horse is gorgeous

Yes...
Beautiful

 

[magneze]

That's a different horse. I'm not fooled.

 

[May Kasahara]

15yo just popped his head in and said "why is Pestilence opening the Paris Olympics?"

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Shoot the fucking horse. Jesus christ.

Do you own shares in Findus by chance?

 

[Epona]

Anyone else hoping the horse unloads a massive pile of manure?

 

[tommers]

Imagine if they deliver the flag and it's Celine Dion.

 

[Aladdin]

This is really lovely
