Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

Saudi Arabia, oh yes, that famous snow bound country……

He was hot AF it's true. I'd have held his umbrella for him.

Just had takeaway pizza and arancini to eat along. Cannoli for pudding.

I liked Venice and Florence. Italy is something else isn’t it.

Blimey Furforks, you can be our go-to expert throughout!

Hazel name checked the Puffa coat 😊

Who was it , turned up basically topless , in Beijing?

I think it was someone from Samoa.

Yes, I've been to the San Siro as well to watch a game. I am Italian, basically.

Sleeping bag chic? Whatever you say, Hazel.

Imagine training to do the skeleton.. or any of it tbf.
All scary as anything.

I agree, they are fab

Probably a greco-ronano wrestling competitor

I wonder if it was a failure to work out how best to use the cameras, in Paris.

There was lots that didn't work but Celine Dion on the Eiffel Tower was heart-stopping, a real moment.

I've never been to Italy
It looks fab.

2010?? how can any of the athletes be born in 2010?

DD2 was born in 2010.

She's slacking.

The Aussies look cool.
At least I could hide my fat in their coats and jackets
Actually do any of the actual sports , just no

Celine was fab u lous.

did the Austrian athletes draw lots to see who got the red jackets and who got dog shit brown?

I agree re- the cameras, with it being along the river.

I loved Celine.

I saw these long coats in the damart catalog

Is it Olympic level slacking?

Aw, one lonely Azerbaijani.

I feel for the director with 4 different locations for the parade of competitors.

Belgium - bet they’re all skaters.

Azerbaijan
