[oldbag]

Spitfires and Lancaster bombers please.

 

[naefeart]

some of the images remind me of one of the Lord of the Rings films

 

[Moothead2]

When is the flame being lit, or has it already been lit?

 

[Yas786]

What's with the dancing men in the top hats...im sure they didn't dance back in those days lol

 

[dunker]

[badcompany]

Musics good, men in hats are so cool

[Jimz]

They should have had Paul Mcartney in the front of the that lonely hearts band

[SoundEng]

[Naff8000]

oh god this is horrible, is this a celebration? It reminds me of a glorified Remembrance Sunday

 

[oldbag]

Ok, when does it start?

 

[badcompany]

Nelson? The MayFlower ?, Cook?come on this is pathetic

 

[Marmot]

Its like the morphine dream of a dying blue peter presenter.

 

[Jimz]

There has to be AT LEAST 1 person who visits these forums who are out there tonight performing..

 

[oldbag]

Change the music! It hurts!

The Olympics were also meant to be about art and culture, the opening ceremony is about the only time that gets included now.

Wondering if that ring of fire/iron will explode into the olympic rings at some point.
