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!

Poor piano! It'll be wrecked

What a washout. This is inseine.

I was thinking that- cover it up!

yeah, but he's no Rowan Atkinson is he?

this is hilarious. Poor piano man.
I bet they are really regretting doing this outside.
Athletes and their representatives must be pissed.

Is he playing Aquarium by Saint-Saens?

Did I miss the Etats-Unis?

He’s getting wetter than Rishi announcing an election

Piano bloke needs a gazebo

The pianist? It’s Alexandre Kantorow

You’d think they would have cleaned these bridges up a bit for their big day?They all need a good sand-blasting.

Where are Les Etats Unis? Ce qui se passe?

In my defence, I've not been to Paris for a decade or two, except to change planes. What was the big glass house place behind the drenched pianist?

Etats unis should have been between Estonia and Ethiopia - non?

Actually I am worried.

But also chuffed I've locked out the poor official on each boat whose job it is to tell them when they are on camera and to wave!

Ay up! It's us now.

Love a glass or 2 of Crémant 🥂

C'est parce que ils sont les hotes de 2028 peut etre?

Will the USA be last since they have it next time?

I've had to turn sound down.

They must have known that doing it outside is asking for it to piss down.

It's because it's in alphabetical order using the French words for the countries, which given it's in France is absolutely right!

True- I'm sure he's so keen on the rain.Probably sent Carlos as his deputy

Typical! I am working until 20.00. Why couldn't they have started Saturday?? I am off work then!

If you've bought a lottery ticket, you've paid for Team GB!
