Me watching the London 2012 Opening Ceremonies



When does Harry Potter show up?

ETA: Well close enough.

ETA2: We will now commence with the portion of the Opening Ceremony that will give your children nightmares.

ETA3: So, so far what I'm getting is that Britain is quite proud of its Industrial Revolution, its literature, and its children in hospitals?

Oh and James Bond.

And Mr. Bean.

And I don't even know what's happening now. Sitcom clips and people dancing.

And they also seem very proud of this one rapper. Is he saying "some people pay for thrills" or "some people pay for frills"?

Yep, that sounds like us *grins*.

I have no tv here, so I'm one of the few Brits not watching, heh, but the people in twitter, especially Maureen Johnson, are making me amused even without the visual. Think I'm going to have to try and catch it on iplayer later :)

Nah, I was doing work. Done now and managed to find a live link on BBC, but one where I can start from the beginning :) Thanks though!

I have to say-- as a Londoner I loved it

but I can see that to the rest of the world it may have been a little incomprehensible

I thought the show was brill till the cauldron was lit, but they should have finished it there, and left Sir Paul to sleep-- it's a bit late for an old geezer like him

but Sir Steve Redgrave, Becks looking yummy and generally the whole thing-- that was London saying to the world:

"This is us-- like it, or lump it. We're proud to be Brits!!"
