Jokes on you, wel all be up at 8.00am.

It’s men’s volleyball mate. Not even beach volleyball. So won’t even get Brazilian men in thongs

 

[Jimishorts]

'horse' galloping down the Seine and Olympic torch = success

Agreed.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Weird and wonderful mate. Great Friday night viewing with internet friends.

Fair enough
I wasn’t entirely wtf it was meant to be

Bit harsh having the lad in the wheelchair out in the rain could have given him a brolly or a Mack.

Whats worse he probably had to listen to Celine Dion after.

Couldn't believe that part where Carl Lewis, Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams were struggling to carry that torch down the river.

Didn't watch this ... had no tv as I'm on a boat.

I think I saw you, were you waving a Bangladeshi flag?

Much preferred the roaming the city approach rather than a boring stadium thing. Didn't expect to sit through 4+ hours of that so I must have enjoyed it I guess

No way he could hear her without his hearing aid

No moulin rouge
no brothels
no sex farms
not a bit of tit anywhere.

Inauthentic.

There were a few flashes but I think they may have been drag queens

 

[NeilMorepies]

That opening ceremony was pretty dull, but at least they pushed the boat out with lighting the Olympic Cauldron

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Well, I hope no one here will be cheering for the dutch volleyball team:

Shocking.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Anyway, back to France's greatest ever band

 

[Vintage]

Thought the heavy metal part of it was a particular highlight
