I quite enjoyed the opening ceremony =D>

Although it did sadden me to go from when it was Great Britain with Shakespear, Brunel, the industrial revolution, the NHS (as was) and ended up with Dizzee Rascal and Mr. Bean ! All it needed to finish off was armed police turning up to close the 'house-party' whilst being pelted with bricks by spliff smoking teens swigging from white cider bottles :badgrin: At what point did we go wrong ? And how it started with shots of Scotland and Ireland and then quickly turned into it all being about London (and not in a 'thats because it's where the games are being held' way).

Most of it probably went straight over the heads of foreigners though. And the sound quality from the BBC was appaling.


Can't be that many Foreigners left...the majority of them appear to be living here #-o

Errr hello, 5k pw to park a sodden car, err £9 for a hotdog, err £6 for a bottle of Peckham Spring, Marky Boy you should be a race horse with blinkers like yours old son.

Clearly you don't just talk rubbish when you're pi**ed.

I bought bottles of water for £1.30, although you could have refilled your empty bottles in the drinking fountains for sweet f*** all.

Didn't buy a hotdog, didn't see any hotdogs for that matter, but haddock and chips was £7.00. Yes a bit dear, but par for the course at sporting venues.

As for your parking, if true only those that can afford that will pay it, so what's the problem?

Listen Mark, you just gave yourself away completely, you portray the image of a normal guy who drives a PHC, i.e one who doesn't have much money, yet there you are, you have Olympic tickets, time to go and watch it on a weekend day as well, all the stuff you banner off under the name of fair is false, you make it up as you go along and then smart off at others with put downs, you didn't buy any water in London at an official vendor van/stall for £1.30, it's more than that in the One Stop on a normal day in London,

And the problem with the parking is the bloke shoved off his regular's unless they wanted to fork out the £5k themselves, no morality, but then again it's pointless telling you because it's not one of your strong points either is it.

Oh dear Mr Doom doesn't like the truth.

The bottles of water were £1.60 fact.

The cost of my ticket was £0.00 fact.

I watched the beginning and whilst I got it (I think), it seemed a bit off kilter. As it went on I really enjoyed it, the choreography and organisation + Rowan Atkinson being absolutely awesome + everyone smiling............................except the Queen!!!!!!!!!! - I am not being intentionally disrespectful but it reminded me of the old "Soviet Block Politburo" whereby they were stuffed full of drugs to make them appear that they were still alive.

Definitely something wrong there! (Please do not give me the age thing)..........defo something wrong.


The Duke is back in hospital!

Me reckons the Queen knew something was wrong all along - Harry fills in on the last day of the Olympics....................minus his face that always smiles.............what do they know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
