CB Saint Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Fair play to the Canadian, Ian millar - his tenth Olympics
harvey Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 CB Fry said: I thought the ceremony was brilliant, well done Danny Boyle, knighthood in the bag on New Years Day I'd say. Perfect distillation of what it is to be British - history, humour, heart, diversity, great music, pomp, style and fu ck me we invented industry, modern capitalism, universal healthcare and the world wide web. Had a little well up four of five times through the show, our country really is freaking ace. Anyone want the parade to finish now, though. Jeez. A knighthood?????????.........jesus

ottery st mary Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I think Lord Danny Boyle will be more appropriate after this jaw dropping spectacle...

doubleonothing Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Gary Lineker @GaryLineker We're going to show a replay of the countries parade before the flame bit #BBCSport #London2012
Griffo Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Ha, the German Ambassador gave a Nazi salute by the looks of it. P*ssed myself when I saw it, couldn't believe my eyes.
doubleonothing Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Danny Wallace @dannywallace Qatar have sent about 9 people. A real nation of athletes. Bodes well for the World Cup.

If you enjoyed it then that's really good (I wanted to), but I personally didn't think it was.
angelman Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I think I have a soft spot for Victoria Pendleton, although she could have a wee bit more up front.
