Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

Just tuned in about half an hour ago - did they tell us who Sabrina is? She is a terrible dancer.

Aaah . . the speeches. Time for a comfort stop . . . .

The who Olympic a verse

So true.,

It could be a thing.

We should contact someone at the beeb

Aww, the entire intergalactic federation has showed up.

Anyone else on here follow Shabaz Says on Insta?

It is worse.

Is it 1998?

Which year is it

Depending on what year he’s watching the shiny silver outfits might be similar.

Jacket potato foil with snowflakes on! Make mine with cheese and beans.
Maybe they recycle them later on ?

Ooh I like that. Tradition is not the worship of ashes but the preservation of fire. I like that A LOT.

Can we have the violinist doing the music? He was superb.

Yeah, no. Not that Sabrina. This one:

Brotherhood of Man had been number 1 for weeks with Save Your Kisses for Me. Thankfully they were deposed last week by Abba with Fernando.
