Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

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

Yeah it really is. I always come away feeling like I've been more than lightly rinsed, but they're charming fuckers and the cultural richness is incredible .

I've got placard bearer experience. Should have thought ahead for this...

Azarbajan look a bit short on the athlete front.

Benin???
Well fancy that!

To think that Russia had the winter games in 2014 and now look at it ;(

That spiral stage reminds me of those spiral lollipops you get at fairs and at the beach.

Benin? Who knew.

Good for benin

The oldest athlete is 52? Apparently I’m slacking too.

Winter Olympics 2034 here I come.

Benin has attitude.

My time has come.

And gone.

It’ll probably be his only chance in the spotlight.

Bosnia going for it.
Ombré look , stylish

The club idea for the athletes' parade is not an original idea.

Paris was fabulous,despite the rain.

Oh, I used to live round the corner from Jayne Torville. And she went to the school opposite mine.
Is that a credential?

My time went years ago !
Blimey, that’s a coat and a half there
who designed that ?

You can be our skating expert @FuzzyPuffling

Our skating expert.

Sadly yes. Your fault though, you clearly didn’t put in the parenting work.🙂

on another thought, do you think those green country names peel off the duvet coats?

Yep! That is impressive. I like Jayne. She seems very nice.

I love the Brazilian team and their clobber

Thanks!
