Shit i forgot the opening was today... if you put away the patriotism (haha :D) was it any good?

Re-watch it on iplayer. Skip forward to the music section, then move straight onto the Australian, Italian, Norwegian, and Finnish female athletes. Job done.

becks should have rabbit punched redgrave and taken the torch!

Would have loved for Daley Thompson to have got it, Redgrave has already had so many honours and plaudits. Why Daley doesn't have a knighthood is beyond me, 30+ years of tireless charity work and coaching.

Thompson should definitely have got it. The number of furious key presses I made on my Spectrum trying to get a best time on Daley Thompson's Decathlon...

Ruined it with AIDS-filled rap.

I hit agree on your post Tom, despite the fact that I didn't see it and am only just back from the pub.

You were 2-2 on agree-disagree. FUCK THAT. Rap is FILLED with AIDS.


The amount of AIDS in RAP > The amount of AIDS in Waz....

Paul McCartney is on, time for me to go to bed. Now if Roger Waters had appeared I'd still be up.

I think that was what that German guy with the interesting salute was shouting at the Israeli team

Liked that it was upcoming athletes that got to light the cauldron rather then just a single person. Something that most places wouldnt even think about doing. Look to the future not the past!

Best part though was clearly Mr Bean. Not just for the shear entertainment value and that pure comedy was inserted into a "serious" event, but for the fact Im currently at my parents, she hates Rowan but was in histerics over it

Just caught up on iplayer. Liked the first bit until the rings. The rest of it went downhill quick and mostly decended into utter utter gash.

Well I just returned from a corporate Olympics do. Yes a lot of us may hate on London (and I live there), the traffic problems and the amount of money spent are frightening but fuck me, a boat trip on the Thames on Olympic opening night with every single building and tourist attraction next to the river lit up to the max was a truly amazing experience I will not forget for a very long time. Those kind of memories are priceless. Cheer up you grumpy bastards, this is a once in a life time event and we should be proud to host it.
