The Olympic Opening Cermony....

[trt]

I know we couldn't out do the Beijing opening but, costing £27 million for the opening of the UK Olympics showing farm animals in fields, fake clouds and a cricket match etc, surely this is a ridiculous waste of money?

I can't wait to see it, I think it will be the biggest laugh on tv for years to come not to mention the embarrassment. Make sure you tape it, I will. I won't bother with the rest of it though.

It's obscene.

If they spent no money and just had some bloke and his wheelbarrow you'd be saying how cheap and embarrassing; they're spending some money on the ceremony and, without having seen it, you're saying that it's a waste of money.

If I was to tell you that there is a feature film that is 80 minutes long about a car tyre rolling down a road you probably think that it must be absolute tosh; if you did then you be missing out on the excellent film Rubber

I think £27m is a lot to spend on any opening ceremony, but we'll moan if they do and moan if they don't I suspect. This plan is very British, it represents the majority of our country and it will provide a backdrop to a complete performance which is yet to be revealed. I'm quite optimistic about it myself.

i think it will be odd, what will the people who live in the inner cities make of it?
