Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

Oi. Stop taking the piss out of my minions. I’ve popped back but I’m bored.

Oh. Is this snoop dog?

Did they say they had volleyball players? I thought they’d have skiers or skaters?

The local performing arts school has its moment.

He’s at the curling isn’t he?

Well since we didn’t know they could manage stairs for decades after they first appeared, I think that’s a good shout.

We’ll probably find out that they’re also bullet proof, waterproof and immune to radioactivity.

Truly the intergalactic cockroach.

I was wondering about this. Volleyball is massive in Italy but not a winter olympics sport.

Maybe they could volley snowballs

Is that a dove of peace or an escaped manatee?

I can't tell you how much better they are than Legs & Co.

What was that shape meant to be of ?

What was the picture they made?

Wow. These are just young kids. Amazing.

Charlize is looking gorgeous

This dance is giving me squid games vibes, which I am pretty sure wasn’t the intention.

Oh, a dolphin, possible……

A dove I think

It literally is the local performing arts school.

We've taken a break to watch Astrid in Paris, come back and it’s still going. How come Bocelli's orchestra was a) too small, b) not miced up and c) the chorus was nowhere to be seen? We’re wondering whether he was miming tbh.

A dove. They have stopped using live doves at opening ceremonies.

Sound of a door slamming as the Vances leave the stadium at that speech.

Charlize Theron does Nelson Mandela?

Im truly lost now. Bring the Daleks back.

Only dead doves?

Ah Bryan Ferry 😁

Why not? We did the same in 2012. Most of the drummers/dancers were just londoners who signed up.
