Getting wet on a river, Olympic Opening Ceremony thread deux

[Theremedy]

Will it get awesome?

Who is roof guy?

Will the cauldron be in the Eiffel Tower?

I like the horse! Is it Joan of Arc?

Yes it is quite long

Here comes dinner

Is that old chap her target? Why are we seeing his photo? Bad timing to shut up, commentators.

Tron horse.

this whole thing is giving me 70s Eurovision vibes and it’s creeping me out!

So glad it's not just me - and so far too much of it has been samey-samey for my taste

At least we're not the only nation to get our river pageant rained on though, and looking at the radar it may get even worse

Shut your pie hole, we are.

Why did it cut to a random photo of an old French bloke?

Who is he? Guesses in our house are Petain and Dreyfus.

It is taking her a long time, Andrew.

A very long time.

It reminds me of Frozen 2. Was it Frozen 2 ?

I think it was .

🤣 OMG it does!!

You know what it’s missing - no kids!

Ok, the horse is cool

Reminds me of Elsa and the water horse

The comment on the BBC. It's a horse. It's a LONG horse ride.

Yep it goes on for fucking ages.

But not quite as long as the bloody cat walk.

Danny Boyle is, somewhere, falling over laughing.

@Highlandcathedral he does know it's not real?

Live doves would have fallen asleep by now.

Bridges were used as stages

Can anyone post the Keir Starmer shot again please 🙏

Andrew Cotter is so over this. 'This is quite a long segment'

Yes, yes it is.

Hahaha that's so funny I repeated it to my husband and he snorted

I liked the horse - when it started 5 minutes ago 🤣

Which of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse is this?

Does anyone remember Eurotrash? I think it's been revived

De coubertain I think, founder of the modern Olympics.
