The Olympics 2012

[Galahad]

It's had good moments. The Queen bit was cringeworthy.

The Queen bit was cringeworthy.

Even when "she" jumped from the chopped with Mr Bond

 

[GermanF1]

Even though I'm clearly not getting all the references I really love this show, absolutely beautiful, no stupid Beijing choreographies. Just a nice ceremony

 

[Galahad]

Yes, mainly that. The humour is welcome, it feels very British. I daresay many foreigners will be scratching their heads!

 

[Jos the Boss]

I think we have Beckham doing it!

 

[Josh]

Yeah I have to be honest I've no clue what I'm watching. It probably doesn't help that I've got no sound though...

 

[F1Yorkshire]

It can't be Beckham,

 

[Greenlantern101]

This is amazing. What a brilliant show. All you haters should be ashamed.

 

[GermanF1]

Lennox Lewis...You heard it here first Beckham would be awful. He never competed at the Olympics and never won any major tournament with England.

 

[Brogan]

It was all rather British, wasn't it?
A bunch of overweight, badly dressed people trying to dance in clichéd sets.

Let's hope the athletes do a better job.

It was all rather British, wasn't it?

Wasn't that the point?

 

[Brogan]

I though it was supposed to be about sport?

 

[Greenlantern101]

Hate to mod the mods bro but I believe the haters thread is elsewhere.

 

[Brogan]

I'm commenting on the opening ceremony so it's valid for this thread

 

[Josh]

There are so many countries I've never heard of

 

[mjo]

I thought it went as well as it could go - I enjoyed it. Remember, we could have cocked up.

 

[Brogan]

So, does anyone have a good link for what's on when?

I'd like to try and plan to watch the events I like most.

 

[mjo]

Why don't you download the BBC Olympics app? It has all the schedules on it.

 

[Brogan]

My phone is about 10 years old

It doesn't do apps.

 

[mjo]

Just google it.
My life is now fulfilled now I know that the Cambodian alphabet has 74 letters in it.
