Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

Shows I know nothing about the Olympics..

Do we have a thread yet?

Yea we fucking rock at this.

Thanks all for a lovely thread ☺️

Definitely improved as it went along, and was quite stylish and entertaining in the end.

I say bags not it. I did the Traitors threads this year so I’ve paid my dues for 2026!

So back to BBC4 where it is now a Nana Mouskouri special.

Only on page 37, is it too early yet?

I have today’s sport to catch up on. In preparation for a hard weekend of sitting on the sofa watching more sport.

Thanks all for this thread.

That was fun - thanks y’all!

I usually go for it around 950 posts - time to get a link up if the thread is fast moving.

How can you tell what we’re at? I can only see page 37.

This is 912.

It says at the top of the page for me.

I have my settings on 100 posts per page.

I’ve done it.

Lovely thread - thank you all for the entertainment

Oops I gave up and fell asleep.
But you lot made it for me..cheers chums. See you on the other thread..

Had to rewind on iplayer, miffed

I stopped at the speeches. I feel a bit of a lightweight and should have hung around for the cauldron and all that

So was there any hidden symbolism this time 😂

Bocelli was great What a voice.

Thought some of the oponing ceremony was quite laughable really. Very naff and cheesey plus Maria Carey singing whatever.

What on earth was that get up in silver puff jacket material all about. You know the outfit all the flag bearers were wearing?

It looked like they had been wrapped in an origami version of bacofoil

Yes. l know it was really cold.

Watched it today on the BBC and by far the best was the mens downhill ski race.
Top class.

As for curling.l have had more fum watching paint dry. Its a sort of crown, green bowling gameon ice for a younger generation.
