London 2012 Olympics Stuff

[tigerbob]

I gave up on the Olympics years ago when they had commercials every 3 minutes, (yeah, I timed them) and they wouldn't show what I wanted to see. I doubt they'll do any better with the London Olympics. It's all become too commercial.

Surely that's down to the channel you're watching and not the games itself.

Sheeesh, I miss the BBC.

 

[tigerbob]

The French seemed a tad bitter walking out. I wonder why? #BritsBeatFrenchAgain. LMAO.

I'm off to Paris in September... I think I'll get a London 2012 t-shirt to wear. My bad.

Any references in the opening show to Trafalgar, Waterloo or Agincourt?

Nope. Pity... I think that would have been funny.

Personally, I thought the opening ceremony was very British. Tasteful, understated and dignified. Very entertaining without being overly flashing and ostentatious.

An opening ceremony was so embarrassingly awful one almost wished for some Al-Q to sparkle up the event.

Ooooh. Closest I've come in ages to neg repping.

Then you would like the opening: it was thorough pc, inclusive, lost the plot of what it was suppose to be about and as dull as dishwater.

Are the uniforms as bad as they say?

 

[tigerbob]

Yep. Bowie. Skyping with old friend in london. And f/b-ing. And tweeting. Olympic social overload.

Interesting factoid.... when Team GB came in, there was a mass of confetti launched. Apparently there is one piece of confetti for every single human being on the planet. Cool.
