Danny Boyle risking embarrassing the nation… the opening ceremony thread

Wtf happened with the sound !

Doubletracked.

This chap is such a gobshite. 🙁

When does Blur come on?

bedtime, mods… lock the thread before macca makes everyone angry 😆

Same crap every time we have a national event.

They’ve managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Should land that massive division bell on macca and put everyone out of his misery

poor old paul…. he’s past his best

No wonder the switch was flicked when he was on with Springstein earlier in the month

Macca just sharted

They should have had Pink Flloyd on live, waters and gilmour i would hav paid 2k too see that

He could fix it by starting “My DingaLing”

All together now….

Naaa sod it

He is pretty awful isn’t he. Bit of a mess…

Doh, double post

I assume I missed JLS earlier?

The producers should do the decent thing and take him out into a field and blow his brains out before he completely embarasses the nation.
Oh, too late.

Right, so when’s the road race start tomorrow?

“everyone aroudn the woherherld..”

“I can’t stop it”
Please do, please stop it

Can’t see many Olympians getting PBs tomorrow – I’d be partied out.

So, i guessed it right that petals = cauldron but WOW, what a beautiful sight the finished item is….
A
May
Zing….

<Doffs cap in the general direction of all involved in tonights ceremony and goes to bed>

Bloody hell – capital of culture all over again. When in doubt, roll out an ex-Beatle for the same old toss again & again.

10am for the road race

bon nuit

Overall – tremendous.

Hello world, this is how we roll. 🙂

Qunitessentially British = monumentally shite.

They’ve managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

and then, in a bizarre twist, victory from the jaws of defeat.. 😀

right, night all!

no arguing now, i think everyones in agreement that macca was rubbish 😆

Coulda driven from London to Leeds in that time. Not saying it’d be better, just sayin’…

<Is still bemused by Federated States of Micronesia>
not it is time for bed……. night all

Night all. Same time for the closing ceremony?

i think everyones in agreement that macca was rubbish

even beatles fans he murdered it but not as bad as the TdF and anthem

There are some stunning babes … hhmmm …

Bloody hell all went pretty well … until the last person to sing … hmmm … WTF!

Ok so if they had to have macca at the end why Hey Jude? Surely All You Need is Love or Give Peace Chance would have been a more fitting finale to this fantastic spectacle.

Thanks Garry.

Does McCartney own MacDonalds..?

Maybe it’s a corporate thing…?

too many miserable bitter lonely old sods on here!

it was really good! well done i say!

Why were Team GB dressed as Gary Glitter impersonators?

Just as I was sneering smugly at the Yank’s gash berets too…

Guess they brought Macca out as they knew it would help clear the Stadium.

Thanks Garry.

not sure garry glitter was involved
