The Olympics Opening Ceremony

[sp1814]

Is it my imagination, or is it quite bloody amazing?

How could I forget!

I actually got goosebumps at that and the Sex Pistols.

Strange how there was no representation of Britpop though - unless I missed it?

No Oasis, Blur, Pulp.

Or was that when I went to the loo?

[Prudie]

Dare I add I was expecting a bit of Take That

[MarkRae]

Danny Boyle OBE?
Sir Danny Boyle?
Lord Boyle of Stratford?

[sp1814]

Actually, I was expecting that sequence to end with Adele (was hoping for 'Someone Like You').

Perhaps they're saving that and Take That for the closing ceremony?

I would also love to see Bowie make an appearance (as opposed to the almost obligatory Paul MacCartney).

I really don't know what you that thinks it's crap would have done instead.




700 billion tonnes of fireworks would have done the trick for those peeps, Prudes.

A knighthood would do nicely.

Or they could make him kig of Scotland...

[erin-x]

I heard Blur - Song 2 i'm sure....

[TheNovice]

hear hear Mark!!

[Prudie]

I think they're coming MT x

[Wharton]

We've got enough kigs up here.

[TheNovice]

Chuck.....I'm of an age.....the music is brilliant!!!

[MarkRae]

Well said. If and when independence comes, the very last thing we'll need is a monarch...

[TheNovice]

Mark - you've had flower of scotland.....now behave!!!!!!

[rockyracoon]

I'm thoroughly enjoying this ceremony, the music s fanbloodytastic, the whole thing is very British, as it should be Danny Boyle didn't have the budget the chinese had so it's unfair to compare.

[TheNovice]

spot on rocky

[invisiblelady]

Is that true? rockyracoon? That throws a whole different picture on it....

[jno]

agree, rocky, sp1814 and others

[TheNovice]

boyle had about a quarter of the chinese budget......and hasn't cheated with voice overs (remember the pretty chinese girl miming to the so called 'ugly childs' sweet voice!!!) and computer images of fireworks

[bibblebub]

who invited the miserable old woman in the stands?

[Mick-Talbot]

Here we go....a bit of Arctic Monkeys....
