Olympic opening ceremony....

[Novasport]

....what a load of tripe so far!

Can't beleive we are showing this to the world, its a bit embarrasing!

Hope it gets better

[Mark]

I'm sure it'll go with a bang soon.....

[Novasport]

Music through the years bit is a little better

[novalew]

only car so far is a BMW lol

[Novasport]

Said that to the missus, very British that. What a Mini, yeah the German BMW Mini. Then she says what is British? Err, fcuk all.

[benw456]

some good music on at the moment though!

[novalew]

should of used a metty ;)

[Iain]

Thoroughly confused during most of what I've seen tbh lol

[mowgli]

1. this is a global thing.. & they have to set the story out.. rural idyll turns into industrial power etc... the work involved to stage that must have been gargantuan
2. the music was excellent
3. mr bean on the jjoanna had us pissing with laughter
4. bond & the queen was amusing..


in conclusion, i'm enjoying it

[Jack]

Should have had a bodykitted nova handbrake turn into the arena and some burberry clad oik fall out and try to sell drugs to people... that would be a more accurate portrayal of England lol

Eez back is stan!

[Novasport]

'gonorrhea' PMSL lol lol lol

And yes, they do look like holiday reps lol

[Asa-James]

I was going to say the music's okay, then they put the pet shop boys on. Dreary, monotone garbage...

[mowgli]

looking at the athletes & the crowd, i'd say half the fast food outlets in the south of england will be shut tonight

[Novasport]

Rather embarrasing capture of a bloke in the audience waving at the German team looking more like he was giving a Nazi salute :tard:

I was also going to mention that, not ideal really :roll:

I'm enjoying it tbh, Danny Boyles doing a spiffing job what what lol

[brownbear]

ooooooh. Underworld dark and long! TUNE!!

I thought it was rather well done myself, I was entertained. The way they transformed that green countryside view into an industrial area, then 'built' the olmypic rings was clever stuff. The best bit being when James Bond met the Queen and they then parachuted out of a helicopter into the stadium :)

[Calamity Josh]

was it just me that thought it looked like a scene from charlie and the chocolate factory...?

[mowgli]

i suppose it was a bit..

She looked a miserable cow aswell, she was caught on camera picking her nails when the British team came in whilt everyoe else was applauding!

To be fair it is hard to smile constantly for hours, just in case the camerman decides to focus on you. She also has seen pretty much everything, so probably is hard to impress now.

[Novasport]

That may be so but pick yer fingernails or nose when Usbeckistan or whoever are parading through, not when your own bloody countries athletes are!

So abdicate the throne and skip Charles, let Wills step into the breach

[EwanG]

cancelled!lollollollollollollol

[Novasport]

Eh?

[mowgli]

i don't see why everyone jumps on the diss the queen bandwagon... would you take your granny to an event like that??? i wouldn't... the woman has been there & definitely done that a lot of times.. i heard a rumour from someone who should know that she might well be taking a back seat after this year's events...

[Edd]

The Team Sky boys fcuked the cycling road race right up ffs :( Cavandish 29th

[mowgli]

they rode it like it was a stage of the tour, and no other teams were up for the pelaton charge.. so they tried to catch up on their own, and it simply was too much for them, but fair play to borat's mate.. he rode the race of his life
