Any body watching this/ watched this, i think its quite spectacular at the moment, I cannot compare it to China as i didn't see their ceremony but watching the changes through society is fascinating.

Yo, Obliette Brits! Any of you feel like trolling the people up in the 40k Section who never bother to read the Obliette? Some of you should start making comment up there like "I heard there is some kind of sporting event going on here? What is that about?" Others could be like "What Olympics?"
-It is probably too obvious but you never know... a couple of you working together might be able to reel in some naive people.

I actually disagree. I think this one was really great to watch and I think the setting of it was just lovely. I think the hill with all the flags is a great addition. Further, china spent like, 3 times as much as anyone else ever has. Q Originally Posted by ragnarcissist

I thought it was very good, but I wouldn't say it was brilliant. The thing I'm most pleased with is that we broke the trend of spening more and more on the opening ceremony, exemplified by China spending £45m pounds. In contrast this ceremony cost £27m. It was understated and it was British, it just didn't make sense sometimes and it veered too far into the realms of silly at point. But I did prefer it to the Bejing ceremony which was just a case of 'let's wow people by throwing money at it. Which isn't to say it didn't have it good points.
I never would have expected HM the Queen to become a Bond Girl. That alone probably makes it the greatest Olympic ceremony to date.Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
