Got to be said.
Totally disproportionate ethnic mix in the opening ceremony.

Not watched any of the 'show' been watching BB with Mrs Moon and covering my losses on the gg's with the correct evictee. Most obvious 2/1 for years.:)

From reading the thread looks like I've not missed too much, certainly not 27M quids worth.

Can't believe the athletes are using mobi's to film it. I've found that you can end up missing the event by filming.

I didn't know Afghanistan had athletes taking part.
They're going to fucking love it when the red arrows fly over aren't they?

Why is she singing abide with me like she has a peg stuck on her nose?

Opera singers sing through the nose rather from the throat I think.

Expert opinion... You can't beat it.

But am I right?. Fucked if I know ;-)

They are building this up nicely. The audience is just getting warmed up and ready for the main event.

 

[bluemanc]

Well that has been brilliant.
Not a bad thread, 1 or 2 attention seeking wums & the odd sick fucker,but not bad,expected worse.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Why are the announcements in french before english?

French is the official language of the IOC.

Aha,I am now somewhat wiser.

Enjoyed it after the sluggish start, except Dizzee Rascal getting so much time when Oasis, Coldplay, Spice Girls, and other far more popular British acts were nowhere to be found.

The Yardbirds
Cream
The Experience
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Roxy Music
Joy Division
The Smiths
The Stone Roses
Oasis
all ignored, yet Discombobulated Nincompoop gets to perform for about five minutes...

Pink Floyd extracts were played you div.

 

[Hez]

Has that commentator just said "Robert Shite"?

Abide with me. FA Cup final only you cunts.

and memorials and funerals mate.

An opening ceremony is not the right place for that hymn. Cup finals, funerals, memorials and that is it. Well out of order.

What did you want them to play whilst remembering the deceased from the bombings.
