Opening ceremony just a tad embarrassing !

I just don't get it!

Loving it.
Abide with me was beautiful and haunting. The beginning was 'Wow'. James Bond and the Queen- what a giggle.
They all need to walk a bit faster now though.... running music!!

Let Me Google That For You

Worth a click even if you know who he is.

Who is Danny Boyle?

Seriously. Google or the news or any kind of awareness of the news/media will usually help with such complex questions.

I have a 9 year old who knows who he is. She isn't that bright really but she knows.

Try my link Pag

The amount of times I've wanted to use it on this site. Seriously.

RE the camera's: Because it just seems rude, people want to cheer them on, individually and as countries, they can't be cheered individually if we cant see their faces thanks to the cameras It also feels rude and unprofessional to me, I'm not sure why!

So knowledge of popular culture is a measure of how bright you are now, is it?
What a strange notion.

So a celebration of British Culture consists of one celebrity appearance after another to appease the masses (and i dont recall any other OC having to rely upon that). Sounds about right.

thank you. Most educational.

camera thing annoys me a bit too - but pretty common these days.
Whenever teams do that victory through the town on a bus thing - like Chelsea did after winning Champion's League - they are always on their camera phones.

I think a capacity to google is probably a reasonable measure of how bright you are.

A celebration of London culture to be precise.

Knowledge of how to use the Internet for research is fairly basic these days I would have thought.

"and i dont recall any other OC having to rely upon that" Would you have recognised many actors or actresses from China? I know Brit and American Actors and that's about it. They could have had the cast of Big Brother China on there and I wouldn't have known, doubt our commentary would have mentioned it either as it's not relevant to us, it not being our pop culture.

Whens Cliff coming on then?

Sydney had Kylie

The phone thing is very odd. Look at what I could see when the world was looking at me...
But people video and photograph every experience now I guess.

Oh just look him up and stop being so pompous

Love it! Its been fab

Dd is hoping that harry potter or dr who will light the flame. I think she is going to be disappointed.

Blimey. I didn't realise asking people rather than the internet was such a faux pas these days. Modern manners, eh?

Loving it

I think it's been an outstanding OC, we have a lot to be proud of - well I feel proud and patriotic anyway

Ooh the flame could shoot out of Harry's wand

The drummer's arms must be getting very tired now!

Laziness has never been a desired quality.

Why do something for yourself when you can get someone else to do it for you, huh?
