Olympic Opening Ceremony

[ChillDoubt]

Anyone watching? I understand they have to cover the history of the country and they've purposely gone for a lower budget affair in comparison to the last two but it's mostly insipid thus far IMHO.

Thoughts, anyone?

Very colourful, upbeat, dancers....... With natural rhythm :-)

I thought it was drab, but they didnt have the budget for it, as all the Brailian Politicitans have nicked it!!!!

I heard them say something about Judy Dench, what was that about?

[Dahlia_Lama]

In a way I'm glad it's very clearly low budget given the current economy of Brazil so I salute them for that .
It's extremely low budget though , theyre doing their best but it's more tedious than normal waiting on Team GB . I was hoping to stay up to see Team GB but I think I'll record and watch in the morning !

I'm watching. I'm really not bothered by how high or low budget the entertainment is. I just wanted to watch Andy Murray carry the flag for Great Britain. I can go to bed, now.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

I bet he uses both hands ...

[Cloverjo]

Ha, Talbot. He used his left hand to save his racquet hand, of course.

With all the drug problems they have in Brazil, Im surprised they allowed kids to carry Marajuanna plants into the stadium? :-)

I think my time would have been better spent finding out why Biggins was thrown out of Celeb big bro

[wolf63]

Talbot - something to do with bi-sexuals being afraid to admit that they are really homosexuals. I can't find out where I read this, but it doesn't sound like a major crime.

He said that a couple of days ago ... must be something else.

I hate posting a Sun article - but it could be this

night night, sleep tight, don't let the bugs bite. Or in my case - don't let the little tom cat take over the bed, leaving me a few inches on the edge.

This thread was about the Olympic opening ceremony. Every time I see an answer to it I get interested, but then I find it's about CBB!

[wolf63]

I am sorry - I am afraid that I have a tendency to go off at a tangent.

I hope the Olympics go well and Andy wins tons of medals. If I had a TV I would, maybe, watch it.

You should buy one Wolf, they have colour theses days, and flat wide screens!

[Cloverjo]

That's Ok, wolf. He could win two, but we'll see.
Come on GB! So exciting!

[grumpy01]

If he wasn't going to carry the flag as it was meant to be carried why was Andy Murray chosen to carry it.

[maggiebee]

Can't believe how this thread disintegrated so quickly. If world peace was announced today, some folk would still find something to moan about!

"I understand they have to cover the history of the country..."

Er...why? I thought it was a sporting competition, not a history lesson.

[1rovert]

OTT on colour, music was a noise, no singers, just shouters, in all Rubbish.
Not that anyone cares about my opinion :-))
