The 2012 London Olympic Games

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I've been very impressed!

I think it was a show that is very much aimed at a British audience...not sure how it would translate internationally though.

A sense of genuine national pride for once I hope.

Brilliant so far, great to see her Maj parachute in:-)

I hope those drummers are working shifts, they've been drumming for a good 15 minutes now and we're still on the B's. Gwan Bhutan!

[Beanz]

I was going to make an inappropriate joke about Cambodia and the catering tent but I don't want to let the country down so I won't. Come on the Huns,sorry Gernimey

[Beanz]

Loads of B's and S's do we come out under U or at the end as hosts. Syria now

I think it appropriate that the hosts come out last, keep the yanks ahead of us with the guns primed.

[superheavyrhun]

Well, the US are on the track, so that means we must be coming out last as hosts. USA aren't going for an understated entrance!

Berets?

[Beanz]

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhssssss

[Beanz]

Great choice of music, nice splash of Gold, come on!!!?

[Beanz]

HA HA HA! Miles is going to go apoplectic

[superheavyrhun]

This is the first time I've made it this far into an Olympic Games opening ceremony. Really good, and not just generic boringness that is enough to put people to sleep.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Ah bollocks i lost interest the moment the teams started coming out.... what happened when we came out?

[superheavyrhun]

There is no greater Olympian than he who is here tonight. The greatest of all.

Muhammad Ali's health may be fading, but he is still the greatest.

The torch was so beautiful
