Given up and now joined you in watching thisThe Supercupini Boys Final on BBC iPlayer at 8pm, I’m going to watch that. (BHA v County Armagh). Anything is better than the opening ceremony

We had this in 2012 . I think this was one of the greatest live spectacle I have ever seen it was simply magnificent

Tuned in and saw a rapper lip syncing. That was enough for me

The Seine is beautiful but it's being asked to do way too much heavy lifting to make this watchable.
I'm not watching, but based on the snippets of description I don't know what people are complaining about.
This sounds AMAZING.

Apparently there is security back up under the water in case a boat sinks!

Aha. Le frenchies.
f*** me, this is shite.
Now, try this. Name me 5 really good French bands of the last decade. I can think of only one (that I like). Little Nemo.
Edit, 2. Asylum Party.
Edit 3. Øfdream. What was I thinking? Total legend. RIP Theo.
What a mess of a country.
ps Norma Loy, Kas Product, Alcest. All good. Getting up to Leeds level now!

Big boat to be fair
While I agree with the general point that other countries views of London 2012 may vary from ours (I once read a snippet of a Chinese article which described the games in general as one of the worst of all time), I'm not sure those are the best examples. Mr Bean, Bond and the Queen are up there as the most internationally well known and popular cultural exports/symbols to have come from Britain. I expect all the NHS and Industrial Revolution stuff probably raised more eyebrows abroad.
