Thus far, this is everything I feared the opening ceremony would be...
Lowlights to now - either the 'doors off' Fools moment, or Suggs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Harry_of_Wales
read up Englanders "Prince Henry of Wales (Henry Charles Albert David; born 15 September 1984), commonly known as Prince Harry"
jeez 🙄
will the stage be empty when G4S do their turn 🙂
Apparently his name is Henry
Every day's a school day!
Are the orange heads on 29ers?
I thought it was only Sun readers that called him Prince Harry...
I enjoyed the opening ceremony a great deal. The games themselves have been brilliant.
This closing ceremony is stinking. I am not entertained, I am a bit embarrassed so far.
Woo - Wand Erection
Didn't know that about Harry! Henry? Whatever his royal ness is called!
This is like going to a cheesy 80's bar full of chavs drinking watered down alcohol.
I'm going to do my ironing
Who the **** are these kids after the pet shop boys?
Must be getting old 😀
Who's already switched off!?
This is an embarrassing mess. At least the Pet Shop Boys bit was properly barking. Squidlady & I have decided we need to open a bottle of something if we're really going to sit through this.
It's fun, sssmmmiiiilllleeeee
Who the **** are these kids after the pet shop boys?
Wand Erection

Who the **** are these kids after the pet shop boys?
Is it one erection?

"Hottest boy band in the world"
Who's already switched off!?
I would, but a) Mrs Markie is watching it and b) I want to see the athletes.
This is an embarrassing mess.
+1
I can see jumps 😀
Stop the stomping it's rubbish
The cynicism is back....
(it never left*)

by the gods this is awful 😮 (just watched that one direction bilge 😆 it almost makes me want to start drinking again (almost 😉
Nice to see the arts funding is still paying out
ffs stomp
It would appear all the good will & brilliance is going to be undone by what is so far absolutely god awful.
From the point of view of the opening ceremony you got the impression that every single angle was planned covered & directed so as a viewer at home you were getting an experience probably as good if not better than being there as you knew exactly where to look. This time no such luck, & why have a 'band' that mimed?!
TBF Danny Boyle nailed the opening so this was always going to be an also ran, like French cycling 😛
what the f$/^ is this now
They took the jumps away 🙁
This is what everyone feared the opening ceremony would be.

Danny Boyle cheated then?!?!
Looking like a very standard Olympic ceremony now - bollocks.

Thank god, we've actually managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - we'll have something to moan about afterall.
Still, no macartney or beckham yet so could be worse...
Hmmm it's all a bit Eurovision esk!

Davies looks a real coffin dodger
Jesus did Ray DaviEs come straight from the morgue
Hmmm it's all a bit Eurovision esk!
Except Eurovision can be fun to laugh at - this is just painful.

My GF just asked "Is that Ken Dodd?"
please make them stop .......
IT does come across as too much happening, whilst nothing is actually happening at all. The camera work is awful, too many jumps.
Glad i've escaped to the bathroom for a dump
i think this is properly representing what britain really is like 😉
