Watch Olympics opening ceremony online?

[roddy]

Yeah, they were clever. More pretty fireworks . . .

[roddy]

Oh cheer up, Hu . . .

[skylee]

here come the drums

[roddy]

Ooooo, giant floaty drums . . .

[skylee]

I don't feel excited at all. Perhaps the opening ceremony has spoilt us ....

[roddy]

I've got to admit I'm sitting here thinking '5,000 drummers and dancers . . . again?' Those light wheel things are fun though.

I was out when it started foraging for food for the family.... missed the fireworks... doh, recording it though...

Here comes the UK anthem... singing seems off...

[Shadowdh]

I cant wait to see what the 8 mins of UK doing the olympics is...

[Shadowdh]

Here comes Boris... could have tidied up a bit bless him...

[Shadowdh]

I wish it was that sunny (its sunny in London...) where I am, seems London must have ordered the sun for today... peeing down where I am...

[Shadowdh]

I know I am the only one writing here... but what the f....??? umbrellas, graffetti, punks... throwing newspapers and littering.. sheesh so far not great...

[Guest realmayo]

hi mate! actually I like it!

So is Boris Johnsons going to be whizzing around the roof of the birds nest then?

[Shadowdh]

Hi there... some aspects were ok, Paige was spot on, Lewis needs work, the bus was ok... but the people around it were a bit naff and showing the pushing and shoving to get on the bus... along with the spray painting... all we needed was Roddy's stab fest and the chav image would have been complete... for me it was lack lustre...

I mean contrast it with the tower of people... and listen to what the commentators report Zhang Yimou said... I fear some truth is there to be had...

So is Boris Johnsons going to be whizzing around the roof of the birds nest then?

Hahahaha... you know I think he would do it... :mrgreen: his hair is a bit of a birds nest on its own... top man...

[skylee]

nobody is singing live, right?

oh hate this song, got to turn off the sound.

[roddy]

Bit of chemistry there . . . hope Jiang's not watching . . .

[Guest realmayo]

ah, so it is her! I guess Jiang still has some influence after all ... I guess he probably appointed all these Beijing Olympics people.

[Shadowdh]

Are we talking about the operatic bit that was on...?? The chemistry was definitely there... they performed well together... the pop bit was ok... interesting they had China, Hong Kong AND Taiwan performing together... perhaps showing a united China... aspirations??

[roddy]

Is this ever going to stop, or do we have to listen to them sing right up to 2012?
