Paris 2024 Olympics Thread - 11th August (pg 430)

[I'm With Stupid]

Yeah, usually there's the performance for about an hour and then the athletes come out and I switch it off. There's no way I'm sitting through four hours of boats going along a river.

 

[urban genie]

This is proper shite

 

[balotellishaircut]

C’est de La merde :)

Wonder if Bob Geldof will be on our boat.

The choreographers for these kind of things must be off their tits when they approve stuff like this.

 

[discopop]

Fucking hell it’s like some alternative reality Dunkirk.

 

[crooky]

It's great that we get two Eurovisions this year

 

[Bazzmand Show]

This feels very budget...

 

[BimboBob]

Thought that was Gaga. Apparently not.

When you try and celebrate things your country has given to the world...and then think, fuck it, chuck em all in boats and wave some fans about.

Where's the burning tyres? The left wing marches? Cheese? Where's the cheese?

 

[frothy]

What a load of crap, must be the worst one for a long time

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Anyone checking that these boats aren’t all heading straight for the English Channel?

Chester de la merde ce truc!

 

[crooky]

Do we come under United Kingdom or Great British?

The start was very New Wave cinema and I thought "Right, here we go." And it lasted about 5 minutes.

Grande-Bretagne, presumably.

No baguettes
No pan au chocolade
No croissants
No brioche
Very disappointing so far.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

China didn't even get their own boat.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Just say "right we are open for business - in fact we have been for 2 days " and get on with it?

Its the first opening ceremony not to be held in the stadium - should be the last. London 2012 was way better - told a story

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Ah, this is the bit where they pretend that half the builders working on Notre Dame are women.

Anyway, nice to see Assassin's Creed get a shoutout.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Why is it not being held in the stadium?

 

[discopop]

Can’t wait to see what float the Duchey of Grand Fenwick get.
