swannymere Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I see the Daily Mail brigade are out in full force tonight. Bit sad really, love to hear what they would've wanted?? Personally i think it's great, shows us at our best.
Thedelldays Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 That was an unfortunate sight when that old fella was waving the German team lol
doubleonothing Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 (edited) Storm brewing on Twitter Aidan Burley MP @AidanBurleyMP The most leftie opening ceremony I have ever seen - more than Beijing, the capital of a communist state! Welfare tribute next? Now there is an outcry with such great responses as Willard Foxton @WillardFoxton Presumably Aiden Burley preferred the 1936 opening ceremony? Man's a maggot. A national disgrace. Greg Callus @Greg_Callus .@AidanBurleyMP I imagine most things look pretty leftie to those who pall around with men dressed in Nazi uniforms Graham Linehan @Glinner What's the view from the average piece of ****? http://bit.ly/LSPzJA And my personal favourite Stan Collymore @StanCollymore @aidanburleymp I'll happily stand against you at the next election.You have no clue about our town or its people.Game on. Ah you've got to love it. Edited 27 July, 2012 by doubleonothing
dune Posted 27 July, 2012 Author Posted 27 July, 2012 "some ver interested onlookers" .... and none of them are watching.
sussexsaint Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 FanF***ingTastic! This! So cool, compared to the automaton control of Bejing
Sour Mash Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Couldn't it have at least been made a bit more interesting by booing the German and Argentinian teams?

Patrick Bateman Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 That was absolutely amazing! Danny Boyle is a genius! Those that know me, know I'm straight down the line. I'm a Manager, black and white, sort it out and deliver, if not, why not. However, I wish I was more artistic sometimes, Danny Boyle's talent is unquestionable, amazing! I loved the history "lesson", I loved the music, I loved the Queen interlude, Mr Bean, everything - utterly utterly gob-smacked, it was genius! I am very very very proud to be British this year, what with the Jubilee and now this, amazing! Nothing more I want to say really, love it.

doubleonothing Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Viz Comic @vizcomic Our money's on Pippa's arse lighting the Olympic cauldron.
Colinjb Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 (edited) Becuase it isn't discrimination. You wouldn't expect a white person to play Nelson Mandela in a story of his life would you? Move on man, it's olympic season. Peace out. x (Of course I wouldn't, that's a specific character... but where to draw the line, can only a certain child portray Jesus in a nativity? Dwelling over this, really? It means that much? It's an Olympic opening ceremony. If you read between the lines this much it will only have one outcome, and it won't be to your benefit. Chill. x) Edited 27 July, 2012 by Colinjb

Turkish Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Most normal people can see that it's been a brilliant opening ceremony and a fantastic celebration of our history and culture. However early 1800 bits were laced with political correctness. Black Morris dancers for example. Has anyone ever seen this before? Black people at a 18th century cricket match. Many Black faces during the industrial revolution. It simply isn't an accurate representation of that period in our history. Sorry if you PC types don't like it but that is how it is.
Sour Mash Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Storm brewing on Twitter Now there is an outcry with such great responses as And my personal favourite Ah you've got to love it. Ha ha Stan Collymore of all people trying to take a moral stance.

ottery st mary Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I am looking forward to our Ladies Synchronised Swimming team marching through:rolleyes: Just to confirm I was not discriminated against looks:blush: and that it was my flower arrangement on my cap that got me thrown out at the trials:p Did they say 274 countries walking through? Ps I did not have to look up Synchronised......

Turkish Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Ok man! You been on the sauce tonight Col? He's been showing his new saints shirt off to the locals in his coventry boozer.
Colinjb Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Ok man! You been on the sauce tonight Col? It's helped mellow the more abstract bits.
TopGun Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 This sort of thing gives you a good insight into posters here. There's a few very bitter and sad people. Luckily they are outnumbered by the generous and proud members of our society.
Colinjb Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 He's been showing his new saints shirt off to the locals in his coventry boozer. You forgot to send me a birthday card Turkish, was most upset. Xx

doubleonothing Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 My God! A white man waving the Kenyan flag!!! Danny Boyle you are shockingly airbrushing history! (pull pin, throw into Turkist/ColinJB argument)
ottery st mary Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 :DGood to see you're back to normal with an emoticon after every sentance It is this ceremony:D Sooooo excited:) Luvving every minute:rolleyes: Except this bit where all these peeps marching round:? I am waiting to get back to the singing and dancing:p

Colinjb Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Turkish will be proud, we are dressed most smartly.
dune Posted 27 July, 2012 Author Posted 27 July, 2012 FFS the parade is only half way. Are you still dizzy with excitement Col?
Colinjb Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 FFS the parade is only half way. Are you still dizzy with excitement Col? Yes, I am perched on my head right now to compensate.
aintforever Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I thought Danny Boyle did a fantastic job. Spectacular, and conceptually very good. ****es all over the Chinese slave show.
harvey Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 Turkish will be proud, we are dressed most smartly. Stone Island and Addidas Chille trainers?
Seaford Saint Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 He's right. In your uneducated narrow minded opinion. Please educate yourself
ottery st mary Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I am led to believe there are 932 in the USA team to march round:rolleyes: Will take them 30 minutes to circle the arena:D Time to make a cup of tea before Sir David comes back on for his speech:scared:
CB Fry Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 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.

Relax, we're on to SssssszzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dig Dig Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 In a way it does reflect this country. False history, X-Factor look at me public participation, bad dancing, over-acting, pompous, fakery, over emphasis on multi-culturalism................ The only thing which was missing was a good old British moan.

Totally agree Like I said earlier, my mate is there and he had text me a few times and said this is the most incredible spectacle he has ever seen. The response from the public around him is of disbelief on how brilliant it is
angelman Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 I am now waiting for Becks to curl a burning football about 50m to get the thing finished. I don't want to carry on being negative, but the bird announcing the countries is doing my head in.
Dig Dig Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 My God! A white man waving the Kenyan flag!!! Danny Boyle you are shockingly airbrushing history! (pull pin, throw into Turkist/ColinJB argument) That was my cousin waving the Kenyan flag. Useless fact of the day
