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?

<snort>

Paris does look pretty in the twilight though.

I read that the lower banks of the Seine are ticketed (free for many people from Paris, expensive for tourists), the rest of the banks of the Seine are open to the general public to watch.

Is Celine Dion going to sing?

Did they?

I missed it but I do think sharks can only make everything better.

I’m glad it isn’t just me. I’m really not understanding this ceremony at all and what’s the point of having the athletes in boats down the Seine?

The "models" look really fed up now parading along the runway

As I said in thread one, nothing will ever be a patch on that for me. I was also a stadium based games maker so I’m biased but it was awesome!

my TV is going into auto standby, dare me to switch it back on 😂😂

Make the lame catwalk stop fgs. Wtf.

The Dutch King is having fun.

Ooh, a boat with a jacuzzi!

Yes! I mean could they not find anything else to say?

I love Paris, but this is shite.

Andrew cotter just going totally mad now

That's how the French like their meat, rare.

Oh Lord. It’s my 6th Form fashion show mashed up with several equally shit 21st birthday parties on the Thames.

So, the people that are there (Keir Starmer et all), what are they watching? screens?

Exactly, it was a short hop away from 'they eat guinea pigs, you know'

It's memorable , if nothing else!
It'll be on ' channel five , when Olympic's goes wrong ' type programming

On top of the Eiffel Tower

I hope Andrew Cotter starts talking about Olive and Mabel!

Not regurgitated over your team mates though.

End the blimmin catwalk, please 😳

The Swedish commentators are being very nice and complimentary anyway

@ChardonnaysBeastlyCat I’m now desperate to see some fins in the water . Anything to liven it up a bit more 🤣🤣🤣

Cat walk nightclub 🤣🤣🙌🏽
