New thread

Why didn't they hold it in the stadium? Is it not finished?

Blue smurf is Phillipe Katerine

There were good bits, but few and far between, and they went on for far too long.

Baffling, completely baffling, what were they thinking?

The piano piece that people were asking about earlier is called "Jeux d'eau" (Ravel)

His wife is a Depardieu

I'm worried that lighted balloon will collapse onto some poor Parisians. That would never be allowed in good old Blighty! Health n Safety n all that...

I think it was dreamed up over many long Parisian lunches. With wine and cheese.

😂

Course you can. Its there to be mocked. Didnt you see Tom daleys 6 boys 5 rings jibe?!

Union flag upside down = distress signal. Have to be careful with flags.

I'd love to see Macron's reaction to realising this...

Or set Notre Dame alight again!

Lots of people care about flags and hanging them the right way up, respecting them etc

I don't think flags are there to be mocked?

So bad it was good?

Maybe?

Anyone?

No, it was just city of shite wasn't it?

Wow, 800,000 pp have been affected by those attacks on the train system in France! What a nightmare.

Had that been concentrated in one location it would have been very different.

Yep

🤷🏻‍♂️et alors?

Fairly sure we poured molten metal into a mould and hauled it up into the sky whilst still red hot when it was our turn...? 😂

The idea was good. In practice it ended up as 4hrs of filler.

It was 'different' - I'll grant them that. People will remember it.

Euro thrash disco on the Seine was epic.

It lacked atmosphere and impact because it centered on the athletes parade which was done in such a drawn out way. There was no audience to speak of because of the different locations and because it was in multiple locations, outdoors the sound quality was not good in many places

Another great image from Twitter

Anyone care to join me 5 points about the opening ceremony…

1.Highlight one was Serena Williams almost chucking her guts up into the already polluted Seine river!

2.what on earth have I just witnessed.

3.Tony!

4.Nadals pants!

5.The two Cs saved the end! A spectacular cauldron and an ailing but spectacular celine!

I have nothing left!
