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!

They need to get this moving. It's so slow.

100%

I don’t mean to be smug but…we did it so much better!

They won't be able to do anything after this
They will all be down with the flu

At least if they are wearing raincoats , it wil cover up the fact the GB/NI team have really awful outfits.

Don't forget the country names are in French so we've got through quite a lot already

Oh god we’re only on C.

I wish I'd bought shares in pac-a-mac.

Hope they don't all catch their death of cold in the rain and then can't compete.
The hot counties must be hating this.

Oh I’m really starting to enjoy this !

Reminds me of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee regatta - everyone on boats soaking wet!

We will prob be crowded onto an inflatable crocodile at the back

So true, it's not very watchable on TV either, I keeping flicking to it but lose interest after a couple of minutes.

Croatia look like butlins red coats

What a miserable lot you all are. Talk about whinging Poms!! I for one am enjoying watching the ceremony.

This is so true, la merde est partout
I love Paris. Spent a lot of time there but la merde is something I cannot deal with

Team GB will feel at home in the rain

You're mistaken. We want to enjoy it!

Umbrellas now ! They've been up to the stalls near the tower for a job lot

not long switched on.. fucking threesome and pride flags and knock off beyonce and half empty boats and pissing wet rain? They'd better bring Celine out to save the day.

J'ai besoin de plus champagne!

We really did.

Just realised we are only at C with the boats! Are we Grand Bretagne, or Royame Unis?

Can somebody explain why South Korea are in the "C's"?

DH had a flat in central London about 20m from the Thames when the Queen's Jubilee pageant was on so we saw a bit of it: It rained a lot then and we froze!

Whacko! Other opinions are available, are they not?
