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?

Us too. The conductor broke composure ever so slightly when he heard it so it must have been a mistake.

I heard bagpipes. Out of tune.

Yes I heard it too

Why are the ones at the back of the choir allowed the words?

TBF it looks like he was the only one who prepared and wore vaguely appropriate clothing to begin with.

Chapeau

True- we didn't need any more of Papa Smurf. (though the music was good).

Not being funny, but if the protocol bit is the best bit, something's gone wrong

I don’t know what language the Olympic anthem was written in, but I am pretty sure it has lost something in the translation, either that or my subtitles have been hacked by a race of aliens with faulty translator machines.

THIS is where the ceremony should have been.

Only two cagoules between the whole choir?

It's....Charlotte Dujardin

Why are the ones at the back of the choir allowed the words?

the young ones don’t forget the words

Very wet. Very, very wet.

Il Pleur. Il bloody Pleuring everywhere.

Where did the watery bint go?

🤣

Um, is the flag upside down???

the Requiem would be fitting for something dying on its ass.

Flag part is spectacular

Fair play to the award recipient.

At the front the page would have got too soggy I think. The back has some shelter.

Went off to do domestic duties for an hour. Did I miss anything?

Lovely choir. Still waiting for Celine.

They're probably in the pub to warm up and get dry.
This is why I dislike these elaborate opening ceremonies, all it says is Little countries, you can never host the Olympic Games, you can't afford this waste of money, hard lines.

I just said that to DP
