London 2012 - Opening Ceremony

[medhurstISGOD]

The gushing over Australia was a little embarrassing. Eddie pretending we had some kind of massive roar for the 'famous green and gold' when we can clearly hear for ourselves it was less than other countries.

I thought it was up there.

 

[TheStinger]

Heroes by David Bowie for Team GB. It's cheesy but good on em.

 

[Equus]

The fapping of Eddie over USA was plain embarrassing.

interesting choice of uniforms for the poms

Big roar for Great Britain

The Queen looks bored with it all

Give her a break. It's probably way past her bed time.

Arctic Monkeys

 

[seanoff]

the Arctic Monkeys???? REALLY?

 

[estibador]

After watching that I can see why they give out so many condoms at the Olympic Village.

 

[estibador]

the Arctic Monkeys???? REALLY?

At least they actually get someone English. If Andy D was in charge of our Olympic bid he'd call in some washed up Yank.

I've heard that Paul McCartney will be doing 'Come Together' with David Bowie which would be pretty awesome.

The Poms have no shortage of music legends they can call up, would be great to see some of them involved in it.

Well I got the song right but no McCartney and Bowie.

A shame as they would have been better than the Arctic Monkeys.

Sydney was all aussie performers.

 

[seanoff]

what's going on with his head

 

[TheStinger]

Gee, Rogge is an emotive speaker isn't he.

 

[Wickzki]

Just over 70,000 people at an Olympic Games opening ceremony?

Trust Great Britain to fail at stadium building.

 

[Hairy Lager]

WTF is going on with the GB uniforms, looks like Buzz Aldrin crashed into an English athlete?

 

[Feraligatr]

It kind of looked like the women where wearing Wedding Dresses to me at first. Then I had a proper look.

Gee, Rogge is an emotive speaker isn't he.

To be fair I doubt many of us could give a rousing speech in French.

[Quinz]

Ali. The greatest.

 

[Feraligatr]

Interesting way to bring the torch in.

 

[Plugger35]

So it looks like Beckham is lighting the flame

My bad it's Steve Redgrave, Becks just did the boat bit

 

[ChappyUK]

It will be Bannister. Like it

 

[TheStinger]

Is Olympism a real word?

 

[TheStinger]

It will be Bannister. Like it

I think Redgrave brings it in and Bannister lights the cauldron.
