Where are we? Are we UK for this?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Has any other country ever been confident enough to indulge in some self-deprecating humour whilst also triumphing national successes?

Sydney Olympics 2000.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Please everyone tell me you all just saw that Nazi salute?

Yes it did look a tad dodgy.

This is magnificent though....who said we can't do brilliance. That opening sequence was just incredible

 

[backson]

Can someone please explain what the German bloke was up to.

I guess he saw loads of Germans finally marching through London and got carried away

 

[LamieRobertson]

As Mr Bean said, 'It started badly, tailed off in the middle, and went down from there'. I have a french women and an american watching with me and they think its awful. Dont get much for £23 million do you!

Well the french one is just miffed cos france didnt get it and american..well enuff sed.....it was brilliant

Don't we come on last as host?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I came on here specifically to check it wasn't just me who thought that was a Nazi salute. FFS Germans.

 

[Durlston]

Guam? Sounds like a f***ing hair styling product!

 

[LamieRobertson]

[Seat Stealer]

Has this got a licence from the council or will Paul McCartney be cut off again.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Where are we? Are we UK for this?

Hosts always end the parade

 

[backson]

Sonia O Sullivan surely can't still be running

 

[Lethargic]

Don't we come on last as host?

Yep hosts always last although half the team won't be there as they have to be up early and for some reason we are Great Britain not United Kingdom. Although the beginning was a bit corny the music has been superb and it's a bit different to the usual mundane formula. Some people will always moan but you can only have drummers and singers some many times I thought the later parts were good.
