Hmm. Now shall I move from my current position by the barbecue with copious quantities of home brew and steak and put the telly on?

Should I not need them to look at arses and legs of almost any breathing female, I would only be too pleased to pluck my eyes from their very sockets rather than have them convey anything to do with ‘The Olympics' into my consciousness. :y

You boring lot of old barstewards, get a life. ::) ::) ::)
I reclutantly have watching it so far and have really enjoyed the spectacle, two fingers to the rest of the planet. :y :y :y
Can't abide the parade of countries but hey oh more spectacle to come and who or how many will do the ulimate honour of lighting the cauldron?
As for the expense, non sports etc etc my views are clear waste waste waste of time and money. Only proper Higher, Faster, Stronger nothing else :y
-

Im expecting John Malkovich to jump out and declare the throne belongs to him (Johnny English)
Rowan Atkinsons on site along with mr Craig. The Queen seems to have some developed some M16 skills too.

( only on "I" , got to go to bed soon!
-
It's only mildly embarrassing, I expected worse.
My horlicks is kicking in, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out who set fire to the big dish.

The other half has scuttled off to bed with the thought that becks might get the job...
Why is it the beeb excels at having one commentator who has a good idea at whats going on, and an idiot??
-
Ive watched parts of it and was quite underwhelmed tbh.Just watching the Artic Monkeys playing. What an atrocious racket.God knows why they were chosen to play.Hardly living legends. Now singing Come Together - simultaneously singing and playing guitar out of tune.A tad embarrassing. ::)
Announcements in French before English - in London !!! Can you imagine the opposite happening in Paris ? Jesus wept,ffs.
-
The flag carrying speech just reminded me of the film "demolition man".
Poor old Mohamed Ali looks like he cannot have his afternoon tea and biscuits until the ones pulling the strings have had there way.
-
Oh gawd,theyve wheeled McCartney out again. ::) ;D
-
Any one for toast..
-
I repeat ... you Sad Barstewards ;D ;D ;D
I really enjoyed it, thanks to Peroni , well apart from the fact that Macca can't sing anymore even at 00.45, they stopped GOD Bruce ;D ;D ;D
-
I think, when you look at the whole thing, it worked pretty well overall, with quite a surprise at the end.... :y :y
-
I'm quite impressed overall! :y Nicely eccentric in a truly British way!! :)
The cauldren was very impressive and a nice touch getting the youngsters to light it!! 8)
Shame about Macca, but they had to clear the stadium somehow... ;)
-
a great show in all, with country's I'd never even known exsisted! but with some fit women :P :P ;D ;D
shame we had to see Mohamed Ali like that I didn't even reconize him :'(

Imo, its getting ridiculas to keep on wheeling the poor bugger out when he is in that state :(
Well out of line in my book >:(
Just leave him be to live out what ever time he has in peace

Agreed... It upsets SWMBO seeing him like it as it brings back sad memories of a family member battling Parkinson's.
As for the ceremony... We had it on while I was busy doing some other bits. I actually quite enjoyed it (surprisingly!). I thought Danny Boyle did very well tbh, although it is a waste of money ::) Some very nice touches and some tasteful nods to sad events :y
-
Yeh, fair play to Danny Boyle, swmbo plyed me with beer and piza so I watched most of it and even enjoyed it :y
On thing I did notice, who ever described Doreen Lawrence as a "peace campainer" and invited her to carry the olyimpic flag should be shot :(
Vile women >:(
Fell asleep just before Paul Mc Cartney so that was a blessing :D

False start. ;) ;D

The whole thing is a disgrace & i can't wait til it's over. I'd like any of you who are fans to remember those who were kicked out of their homes/small businesses & had them levelled by compulsory purchase. YES it happened & is'nt mentioned now so before you get all patriotic & supportive on your settee in your living room watching your big old telly with a beer & some munchies you are very lucky this "event" was'nt held in your town.
Democracy? Yeah really, disgusting describes this better. Boris & ALL fans should look a little deeper. We should be ashamed not proud.

Didn't they get any compensation? :o
-
did i miss something :o

no bored with it all to much hype :( :(

I think we did ok in our own humourus way ..as for that old idiot from the beatles...give up you sounded crap you are over rated and when you were in full flow.
As a british english person i felt embarressed..paul mc crappy...idiot why the f..k did they pick you ;D ;D
-

I don't know mate. I only remember a bit of fuss when we won the bid 7 years ago. Since then the whole of the media has kept very quiet about it. Even if you were compensated you should'nt have to leave your home if you don't want to. Legal is one thing but morally this is so wrong it stinks.
No wonder so many folk don't vote. I despise ALL politicians regardless of their party. you vote for them & they take what they can. They don't love you like you love them. ALL votes are misguided support & all politicians are corrupt hypocrites.
You vote for them but they could'nt care less about your homes & families & they're doing it again with this London 2012 B/S. Never the less the majority will watch & get excited. Not if it was your house you would'nt.

......and it was all over so quickly ..........
Having spent months flogging to rehearsals variously across east london and then starting to do the rehersals in the Stadium at the end of June, there were times when it got a bit much. We were all saying how much we were going to enjoy having time to do other things, but having spent so long being involved, I feel as flat as a pancake today..... :(
Danny Boyle was very friendly and would stop and chat lots during rehearsals.
Pushing those bloody beds was a pain, but the kids were great fun and the lot on our beds had a lovely blonde chaperone ::)
It was great walking through Stratford afterwards with 100's of be-skirted nurses (they wouldn't give me a skirt and petty-coat, but I did ask...) 1 nice american lady did ask me why the men were dressed as dentists. All the close ups were of the professional dancers which was disappointing, and we guessed that they'd concentrate the cameras on GOSH and NHS.
Only had to buy 1 drik all night, too, which was nice
Great fun, and very pleased to have been involved, but now, I just want it to be September 14th.
Bloody Olympic lanes.....
