Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

The rings look quite heavenly !
Im surprised we haven’t had someone dressed up as the leaning tower yet.

DH is having pizza 😂

I didn't mind Paris. They tried something different- it didn't quite come off, but they they tried.
The rain didn't help.

Mariah will not have been cheap.
They should have got Andrea Bocelli. He does everything. (Unless they are saving him for the closing ceremony- Time to Say Goodbye).

Will the medals have a bit of the leaning tower in? Or will that make it fall over?

I’ve got some ‘ Morrisons Italian pasta ‘ in the cupboard
( probably out of date from the lockdown days )

The rings look amazing 🤩

Pizza originated from China apparently! ( so I was told when I worked in pizza express once)

Greece dressed as lollypop people.

Ok, this all sounds complicated.

And we thought the Paris boats were different.

So, they are not all there?

The Paris horses was great it just went on way too long

Was it just me who was hoping there were a few drops of real paint in those tubes, or at least some primary coloured glitter. Sadly neither……

Everyone claims pizza, don't they? Turks, Yanks, Italians ...

Oh. God 😍

I thought the forging of the rings was very similar to London 2012! Anyone else?

There are tons of excellent Italian opera stars they could have got.

I did hear that the Paris horses are still going ..😂
They did go on and on didn’t they

Paris was brilliant because it was so relentlessly awful. This is lovely

Andora have come dressed as zebras

I didn’t mind Paris , the thread on it all was legendary !

Arabian chaps....

You're going to need a bigger coat!

I love the placard bearers' silver padded coats

I have snowboarded in Livigno and been on the roof of the Duomo in Milan, so I basically know everything about these Olympics 🤣

Paris was at least fun, I like to be entertained tbh

It was a very funny thread.

Oh me too! It’s engrained in the brain 😂😂 Paris 2024 forever in our hearts 😂😂
