Default Beijing Opening Ceremony

Anybody else watching it live or on the BBC player.

Bloody impressive, I cant see how anyone let alone the UK can compete against such a thing.

Granted mainly because we dont force people to pratice for 2 years with a gun held against their heads.......but still......absolutely amazing stuff.

It's fantastic. Never seen anything so impressive. 4 Billion people watching!

No idea how we can compete tbh. I don't think we could manage even one of those 'routines'.

Without a doubt true.......they are probably concentrating so hard on getting the construction work done...... that they may have even forgot they have to host the games and organise things like this.

The UK simply wont be able to cope, the name will be tarnished and no one will want to do business with the uk ever again........its going to be embarasing but I'm strangely looking forwards to seeing how terrible it will be lol

hehe. I'm still giggling at the idea of it.

There's some beautiful girls in the ceremony. It's great seeing how the faces change as the different countries walk out......and how badly dressed the Belgians are


Anyone else playing...'spot the basketball team' ???
