Olympic Opening Ceremony

I don't really see the sense in Beckham lighting the torch, he's been involved plenty enough already in the relay of the torch IMO.

It'll be interesting to see who they have chosen - it really ought to be a previous successful Olympic athlete.

Boris hasn't put in an appearance yet though :p

If you were paying attention you may have heard the tardis during the music, i think we'll see the doctor light the flame. :p

Yet it pales in comparison to all the traditional Olympic sports.

traditional like Architecture, Music, Painting, Sculpture......and all the other events that made up the modern Olympic Games for the first half of its existence....

Or Chariot Racing, or the Penkration.....or the few original sports in the Ancient Olympics where every competitor had to speak Greek?

Be careful what you wish for. :)
 
There are obviously too many countries, I propose we introduce the teams by continents instead! ;)

Loved the opening ceremony though (well until this boring bit), the use of music has been immense. Feels like a true theatrical event.
I can't really remember any other Olympic opening ceremony's but this one will stick in my mind.

Yes of course , the highlight of the Olympics, a bunch of overpaid, over pampered haircuts dragging their end of career ego's about a football pitch.

Thank god its seen as a joke compared to the rest of the event. Even the synchronised swimmers will get more respect.

End of Career...lol, the vast majority are under 23.

The only joke is your attitude. :)
