Opening ceremony just a tad embarrassing !

[cheekypickle]

I just don't get it!

I don't get it,

It like the emperors new clothes, but instead it's where's all the money gone!

I love it, absolutely amazing.

I'm pretending to look enthralled to appease dh.

It's all a bit odd and I'd love to change channel!

all very british and awful and embarassing

I found a live streaming on BBC when I found this thread. wtf is with the queen? Is that actually the queen?!

Did the queen actually say 'hello mr bond'

Why is it in French first then English? Curiosity rather than having a go...

I'm loving it and I hate this sort of thing usually!

I'm loving it. I'm not a royalist but I want to kiss The Queen!

What happened to the bit where we went to other countries and enslaved their people. We could have had avroght old knees up St slavery, chains rattling and all.

French is the official language d the olympics

Such a Mumsnet thread title. I think it's fucking great.

Now we know where all the NHS beds have gone!

I want one of those beds!

My DH has summed it up, 'this is a bit surreal'. I'm going to have to get more drink in a minute.
