Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

So that old geezer on the tram was the President? I thought it was your common or garden nonce

Why Mariah? Feels like an odd choice, but she looked like a work of art.

That’s what I was thinking. It was quite a flat performance.

He hasn’t parachuted in…

Those model.types are so thin they could have hired me and done the flag in one.

Where's Andrew Cotter when you need him? Is he tied up and gagged in a cupboard in Broadcasting House somewhere?

They should have Laura Ramoso somewhere in this she’s the best thing about Italy right now

Oh this is a nice tribute .

Italy is just a classy place.

If we want ott and trashy- I'm sure Los Angeles will deliver in spades.

Hopefully

Oh yes, I'd forgotten him. Bring him back!

They’ve got their uniforms from Grand Fenwick

I want a horse galloping aimlessly on water for 20 minutes.

OMG I’ve mixed up Andrew Cotter and Andrew Castle.

I miss French Tony

You can totally tell that the country putting this on is the home of opera (which was never just about singing).

That was so funny 🤣

Noooooooooo Rafa! 😱

Have you ever seen them in the same room together??

God that was shit alright. This is way better.

When the announcer says “Mesdames, messieurs” by brain then fills in “Le disc-jockey Sash est de retour”. Every. Time.

Quite enjoyed the catwalk (did one person go the wrong way?), the soldiers, and this is quite classy.

We need Andrew cotter I agree

One should be locked in the cupboard. Not the other one.

It's the initials
Andrew Castle, and his bouffant hair, and annoying comments- irritating.

Andrew Cotter, Scottish, has dogs- we like him.

I've just tuned in - bring on the madness.
