Olympics

I think he was baiting Sucky...no, correction, he was baiting Sucky...but he's probably still sleeping or painting

 

got to be honest, I hadn’t even read most of the posts. Just posted during a boring teams call trying to stay awake.

 

Uncannily like Michelangelo during the painting of the Sistene Chapel ceiling ...

... although in all likelihood, the only Michelangelo Sucky know of is a terrapin with super powers

One of the best bits of the night for me...

 

London was better

 

I give them credit for being very innovative with it, rather than it being stadium bound, especially up against the elements that decided to descend on Paris today, but everyone continued their performence despite being drenched.

Sort of reminded of the jubilee events for the Queen, or whatever event it was, it just pissed it down.

I think the river boats were boring, but even if it's in a stadium it's boring. I appreciated the theme they otherwise tried to play out. Still think the band was the best bit - in the clip I put up earlier.

Not sure I could have sat or stood outside for hours to watch this though, might have felt different in the sun with beer.

Goes on too long...

 

Can they just get on with this torch now ffs.

 

I just genuinely think that Beijing and London haven't been bested yet.

I think London had a very good theme, from the incredible Industrial Revolution opening, transforming the grassy field into factories, then using those factories to "build" the Olympic rings. Really smart.

Then the homage to British literature, which goes into modern British culture.

Beijing is undescribable just needs to be seen.

This Paris parade of nations was appalling

 

Big minus to Paris is the 30 minutes it's taken to light a ****ing torch

 

It's doing my nut in

 

This is like one of those long car journeys as a kid, are we there yet!

 

****ing hell they rolled a 100+ year old out in the rain

 

Poor fooking sod

Mid 30s man from Gillingham charged with setting the trains on fire this morning.

Senseless

 

They should used the flame to burn down the Notre Dame again for a laugh. That would have got everyones attention.
