Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony come on Brummies!!

[Punkypinky]

I'm tuned in. Loved that poem on the more uncomfortable things about the 'commonwealth' . Loads of colour from the presenters outfits. Anyone else watching?

Starting 😊

Here we go

I am loving the Rotunda being in it.😝

Very clever those pink and white gloves choreo!

I like the floating houses, bit cheesy but what opening ceremony isn't.

Yep. I didn't warm to Max Whitlock presenting at the start of the programme, he didn't seem to have an opinion on much. But maybe he will settle in.
Well done Birmingham

I quite enjoyed that entry by Charles and Camilla. They look so uncomfortable though.

Why did they make Samuel Johnson look like Jabba the Hutt?

What is all this? I know Opening Ceremonies are a bit off the wall but....

I loved Charles and Camilla arrival!

Camilla looked very trendy I thought. I Loved that car too.
I did start moaning to Dh that that the money they spend on these opening ceremonies could be spent on funding the homeless or used for something else worthwhile , but he is ignoring me. I am not a sport fan though and find it a bit pointless.

I wondered that too. Has he got shady things in his past??
Those poor dancers in the canal must be freezing!

What's with the suit cases ?

Where's Ozzy?!

Ozzy is watching from home somewhere nice and warm I suppose

Needs a bit more humour in it. Bit earnest.

And a bit wafty dancing

It's all a bit shit isn't it ?

Or even Jeff Lynn. A bit of Mr Blue Sky would go down well.

It is a bit rubbish really. I usually enjoy these things.

That huge island in middle don’t help

Oh yes! That is a great song

I'm glad we've got Hazel and Andrew to talk us through it. They're my favourite commentators.

They now have Christopher Biggins !

The floats are awesome but lost
