Opening ceremony just a tad embarrassing !

[cheekypickle]

I just don't get it!

Confused pixie, I'll go on your behalf ;)

I'm LOVING it. It's been bonkers so far, but very brave.

This is fantastic!

WTAF

shelby, you are a genius management analyst: "now we know where all the NHS beds have gone"!

Liking the music.

It's fucking awful I am shocked and embarrassed

Is this really how we want the rest of the world to see us? I'd watch hours of Mr Bean though.

I think it's pretty impressive.

And of course we wouldn't show the bad bits of our history, what country would?! It's a celebration.

It's bonkers and brilliant!

Millions, if not billions, watching around the world are learning about British life and history in a very entertaining way.

Cheeky: 5 days in the middle of fucking nowhere in Devon in a tent with my DP when it'll be rainy all week, go ahead

I'm actually getting some packing done through this bit, bit shit!

It is brave I hink esp following Beijing

I like his idea of what Britain is

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!

I am a few mins behind as couldn't get DS3 to bed in time but I love it and I always hate these things. Who in their right mind would have an NHS section in an opening ceremony. Genius!

I love it! At least it has a bit of humour and Mr bean was great

its very British! im liking!

It's hysterical & bizarrely I'm loving it - especially the giant punks!

Loving the music

now comes the sex

It's a bit weird ?? Dnt think the rest of the world will get it tbh??

I have managed an hour. Escaped to bed with my book.

choreography works for this bit. strange, given that the ind revolution was a mess, whereas machines ought to be better "choreographed"?
