Lighting show was Ok although a Pink Floyd gig would piss all over it.

came over as Jean Michel Jarre to me

It took three hours before it became remotely interesting, then they ruined it with speeches, and then a long wait whilst the boat takes the torch to wherever the flame will be lit.

Biggest pile of wank on the telly probably ever.

we all know where this ends - "Royaume-Uni - null points" lol

Technically I think we're Grande Bretagne this time!

The big issue with this approach is because they've distributed it over such a large physical space every segment has to run longer than it's natural span of interest. The tower light show is a good example, a few mins would be decent but it's dragging because of the distance the torch needs to cover. Most bits have been ok but needed to run for at most half the time they have run.

If this boat goes much further they'll be in England.

Fucking illegals immigrants

Reckon this flame is ending up at Wembley

 

[Tuearts right boot]

The French haven't exactly covered themselves in glory with this showing....

If they get anymore french people together they're going to start a protest
