Olympics Opening Ceremony

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Very, very impressive so far. Hard act to follow.. we'll probably get a few morris dancers for 2010.

Yeah catch them off guard by holding the ceremony 2 years early

 

[Man of Harveys]

Opening ceremonies should either be low-key: Euro 2008, say, or the 2006 world cup, or insanely spectacular. Anything between the two is PANTS.

 

[Normal Rob]

nice of them to have the only 8 year old girl in China sing a song.

cant see what all the fuss is about really

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

What the bloody hell is Brightman doing there?!

 

[smudge]

Absolute quality.

Will the septics wear face masks when the U.S of A march out?

 

[Barnet Seagull]

fantastic, I fear for London...

 

[London Calling]

I have been identifying premises for the business that will oversee our "stage sets" lets say they are working within a very small % budget of the Chinese, the result of the usual fear by our authorities, that the media will attack them of wasting money.

They are hoping for 7,000 volunteers and expect and plan for a high drop out rate!

 

[Superphil]

I shall avoid as much of this disgrace as I possibly can

CIPFG

 

[maffew]

that was bloody amazing choreography. London wont top or even think they can top that, Seoul was indeed the only closest opening ceremony in the same league that I've seen

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Watched the odd 30 seconds or so, looked very impressive with the sound off.

more likely a few gangsta rapping muggers bustin some moves to celebrate the 'cultural' diversity of London

I don't think we should even bother with fireworks after today.We've got to think ouside the box and be clever.Preferably on the cheap somehow.

 

[severnside gull]

have to say it was awesome - how many thousands must have rehearsed for a year at least to get that right? Hope someone sees sense for 2012 and does a techno jobby - all lights and graphics and less chance for us to embarrass ourselves. Certainly can't compete with today

 

[clippedgull]

It was impressive, either side of the athletes entering the stadium (boring as hell!)

I think we will do alright. The London New Year fireworks have been spectacular the last few years so I'm sure we won't be too embarrassed.

If the opening ceremony at the Falmer Seagulls Nest is half as good as Beijings Birds Nest then I will be impressed.

 

[desprateseagull]

Whos watching it?

1:00 I believe, gonna go down for a lunchtime beer and watch it in the king and queen I think

they reckon up to 4 billion watching and the internet could well be very slooow or stop even

gonna be a bit crowded in K&Q then, with 4 bn at the bar!

 

[John Bumlick]

fire off a few of these babies:

"let the games begin, innit."

sorted.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Still wont live in the memory like the 1984 Rocket man though!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

To be honest I'm hoping London does tone it down a bit. I hate the way budgets spiral out of control and this pointless attempt to out-do the event four years previous.

Dont worry. You can rest assured that our nation will revert to type and a) will do it on the cheap and b) will no dount be second best.
