Olympic Opening ceremony watch along

[Theremedy]

I can’t see a thread yet but please do point me in the right direction if there is one!

Anyone else watching? It’s all kicking off at 6:30pm, apparently with the athletes parade first.

London 2012 OC was remarkable, I’m hoping the French can match that magic!

Nicked the idea from Australian Eurovision of a few years back

Tbf the London closing ceremony was awful, maybe theirs will be amazing

Maybe it was a lottery for the tickets ?

Nice library!

In other news, it isn't looking great for Paris on my "Rain Now?" App. I'm feeling sorry for the poor ladies on sticks. Are they all Cirque du Soleil?

Has that dangling woman just slipped

Well those guys are getting their library tickets revoked.
What a mess!

I am loving it (sorry!). I've seen too many stadium opening ceremonies, and we spent Paris on our honeymoon. It's different, I like it!

I feel that they should have watched that queens jubilee flotilla they aren't the best idea

I'd be sick swinging about on a pole

before we all get too carried away with 2012 being perfect. 2 words Paul McCartney.

WTF is going on now?

Really, I was there it was a million times better than this

Ive gone from mocking them to feeling sorry for them this is a disaster.

the eople on the poles must be dizzy

great visual show so far

This is how it should be done, mes petits choux-fleurs…

Very worried about the people up poles...

Is the opening ceremony only meant for TV audience? No live audience?

I liked the London closing ceremony.
It wasn't as good as Sydney , but a good effort
Those pole dancers will need hot chocolate and a blanket

Just worked it out; they don't have enough boats and are zooming them back up the river while all this crap is on

I would like to see some Chanel and Dior haute couture

I think it's brilliant so far.
I reckon the torch bloke will climb the Eiffel Tower at the end.

Woah. They were. 😮

@Sunriseatsix 🤣🤣🤣 - ever thought about commentating ?

Health and safety isn’t a thing in France. Have you ever been to Chamonix?

Id love some for some of the French Impressionists to be celebrated
