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

I think we were spoilt by Danny Boyle.

Loving a bit of Cerrone though!

 

[pbsmooth]

I think everyone is ready for the denouement. And has been for some temps.

Who is the person with torch who isn’t Serena, Carl or Rafa?

[Lord Camomile]

"Don't look at the internationally iconic monument cosplaying as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, look at me dancing in the rain!!"

 

[Indeliblelink]

OK that looks pretty cool. Now we just need Daft Punk to reform and appear at the top to play "Around The World".

Nadia Komenech

 

[Lord Camomile]

Those fairy lights are going to be a fucking ballache to put away once the Games are over.

 

[weepiper]

Bloody hell it's going on a bit this isn't it.

 

[quimcunx]

First looooooonghorse now loooooooongsoooooong

 

[Aladdin]

Bloody hell it's going on a bit this isn't it.

Tooooooo looooooooooooooong.

 

[Lord Camomile]

At what point do we start to give serious credence to the possibility that four international sporting icons are in the middle of pulling of the most audacious heist in history

Nadia Komenech

Ah the perfect 10 gymnast

 

[tommers]

When does the Queen jump out of the aeroplane?

 

[pbsmooth]

They’ve got four huge star athletes and they’re just stood on a boat waving while we stare at some random guy dancing on his own. Sack whoever organised this…

 

[Epona]

I really feel like I've had enough now, I hope I've not missed something good on another channel

 

[quimcunx]

Where are they going? The surfing arena?

 

[Mation]

A cracking exit for the dancing signer!

(It was sharks that pulled him down, but he's a trouper )

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell it's going on a bit this isn't it.

Better wrap up soon, the Tower is unionised and the regs are very clear about not working beyond contracted hours.

 

[May Kasahara]

I really need a wee but the torch could arrive at any moment fgs

 

[brogdale]

Bloody hell it's going on a bit this isn't it.

Yeah, think i might be off up the wooden hill before this malarky ends

 

[Favelado]

Love the 80s mentality to TV there. Like you can miss something

 

[tommers]

Those guys on the boat looked petrified.

 

[Aladdin]

Blast.. I need to go tto the loo and I bet the torch will be lit while I'm gone..

 

[Elpenor]

They’re going to light it where the Louvre triangles are like da Vinci code?

Maybe Tom hanks will light it?

 

[Lord Camomile]

They're bringing the torch to your house?!
