Opening ceremony tonight, from 6.30pm on BBC2. Surprised it’s not on BBC1.

I’ve seen the basket people in Maderia.
I didn’t go in it. Looked far too scary and quite expensive.

"I'm wandering about in a huge papier mache composer head".

That is just so "Jeux sans Frontieres" or "It's a Knockout" (in English).

Here is an example from 1981, go to 5 mins 35 seconds:

It was a series of international games (a bit like a sports version of Eurovision) between different European countries.

You do have to be a certain age to remember all the costumes and games (it was last broadcast in the UK in 1982.

Loved that , and It’s a Knock Out !
Classic telly .

Mother and son athletes. Wow, and there was us all wondering where we had gone wrong by not getting our 16 year olds in an Olympics.

I feel such a deep sense of personal failure.

SabrinaThwaite · 06/02/2026 20:43

Loving Mongolia!

A whole new level of failure!

How come so few from Mongolia? There's fuck all there apart from frozen wilderness which you'd think would make them a shoe-in. Maybe they just can't be arsed.

FurForksSake · 06/02/2026 20:45

Mongolia are out of this world.

SabrinaThwaite · 06/02/2026 20:45

Disappointed with the Noggy hats.

AnnaMagnani · 06/02/2026 20:45

Oooh some proper knitwear, very nice
