It's called being hospitable and welcoming to our world-wide guests, instead of just saying, " D'ya want a wee dram?"

Only some are better balanced that others Brum, bottom line is how can you cut back on nurses and then in the next breath say here have multi million's for an opening show that 3% of the viewers will remember three weeks later?

When matron was about and 'elf and safety' was still a sperm in the thought process, nurses worked a lot harder than they do now and got on with it.

The problem is the whole nation has become lazy and with laziness comes poor economic benefit and scroungers that milk the system.

Address those problems in the country and we could afford 100 such openiong ceremonies.

As it is, why should the rest of us suffer because the scroungers want ever more that the country can't afford and shouldn't be paying out to the mailigering, skiving layabouts.

Ok that tells me enough about your thought plain Brum, if you think nurses are lazy you obviously haven't been in a hospital before, I like you overall mate but recently my dad was in for 8 days until his death and I didn't see one lazy nurse, I saw one nurse being pulled about with a workload enough for 5 nurses, well actually I saw several but all had more work to do than two hands could cope with, you may want to reflect that statement before you answer again mate.

Spoken like a true blue Tory ars3hole.

How many such ceremonies could we have on the tax cut Osborne handed himself and his tax dodging cronies?

Quite a long time, but your question assumes it's one or the other, I say have both.

We are getting off the subject, but Brummie is partly right.

And that's from someone who's family, both immediate and extended, are predominately employed by the NHS.

Part of the problem is that new entrants don't want to work (in the main) as hard as the more experienced staff.

Doesn't make them lazy IMO, or not nice people, just a good example of what Blair and Brown left us with.

Back to the topic.

Having watched it again, with someone who hadn't yet seen the whole ceremony despite spending 150+ hours rehearsing for it, I still think it was absolutely stunning, and the 10,000+ volunteers are part of what makes this country great.

Hang on on a moment, let me get this right, If someone does not want to work as hard as a more experienced person they aint lazy!!!

Oddly enough I tend to find Lazyness at both ends of the work spectrum but its often more prevalent at the experienced end of things, simply because when people get there, more so in the public sector, they have learned every scheme and scam going to minimise the amount of effort they put into things to justify their salary.

But yes, Blairs nanny state and unaffordable bloated public sector has left us with a big black hole that soaks up £trillions in wages and pensions which are paid at an amount which is way over what these people are worth. And to make matters worse the safeguards for such workers and retired workers make it impossible to claw in such expenses.

The Next generation are going to be stuffed good and proper as they'll end up carrying the can for this folly.

And knowing this we still waste £27 million on a ridiculous display of lefty crap from the confused mind of Danny Boyle.

It's not Danny Boyle's fault that esteemed intellectuals like you Mr Bloodnock just didn't get the opening ceremony.

Lets see your tune change when you have a heart attack (not wishing you one btw) and you end up on the slab because the bloodbus that would've got to you in time had been removed due to cutbacks,

In all fairness this was planned way before the eco crash and it did have to have some sort of ceremony, but cloth and cut come to mind in these times, as said in a post earlier by Blooders our kids are going to have to pay for all our mess, those charged with clearing it up are simply treading water until it becomes someone elses problem, and if you think I'm wrong then you don't know human nature, and blame shifting and non responsibility taking trait's are rife in today's world,

And one more thing, much as I do like him, why did Dave Beckham get to drive the speedboat, surely a better choice would've been either Lewis or Jenson of the clan McLaren, or even better Jeremy Clarkson, it would've been awesome hearing him screaming out POWER across the Thames, still I guess not not many people have a sense of humour anymore do they. :doubt:

No...the reason People Didn't get it was because there was no substance to it and it was Crap...It could have been taken straight from the idea behind The Emperor’s New Clothes..only an Idiot would perceive it to have been something it wasn't.
