Paris 2024 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 26 July)

[Tetris-Rock]

I’m sorry but this is terrible so far

Hazel Irvine said they HADN’T REHEARSED this which surely cannot be true?!

 

[Lucille]

So many famously hot countries with no close-ups.

 

[Nancy]

That man from the Congo looks like he's getting off rubbing his crotch against the flag bearer's bottom.

 

[Finn]

"One of the most beautiful sights of an Olympic parade - the smiles of the Cook Islands team"

 

[Ellie]

This trickling sound just makes me want to pee.

 

[Marina Salty]

Holy cow it's pouring rain

 

[Adeva]

These boats are so sad! I wanna see them strut in their VILE outfits

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Don’t say SMALL BOATS, Hazel … the gammons will be frothing.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Hazel Irvine said they HADN’T REHEARSED this which surely cannot be true?!

Based on the evidence I'd say it's entirely accurate.

 

[Tisch]

Is THIS the flag parade? On boats in the pissing rain all in ponchos?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Hazel Irvine said they HADN’T REHEARSED this which surely cannot be true?!

I mean they'll have rehearsed the chunks but not a full start to finish rehearsal

 

[Lucille]

Why is Croatia’s team so large?!?

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh hello Mr Croatia

 

[PercyPig]

It’s a shame about the weather because it looks to be lovely from Sunday

 

[Lucille]

The heads are sending me. Having a great time actually.

 

[Madison]

Yay, Queen Mary

 

[Nancy]

It's getting a bit rough.

 

[Lucille]

Omg the Dominica flag.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Why have the closed almost intimate atmosphere of a stadium, when you can use an open expanse of river completely and utterly exposed to the elements?

I'm pretty sure it rained in London 2012, but it still looked amazing.

 

[Nancy]

They shouldn't all stand on the same side of the boat. Isn't that how they capsize?

 

[win_the_game]

Why is Croatia’s team so large?!?

Lots of water polo and handball players.

 

[Lucille]

This diva.

 

[D5K]

How can we have Ecuador without them playing Sash!?

 

[Nancy]

They need some music with a beat to liven this up a bit. This is like tuning into Classic FM while driving down the M6 with the sound of rain against the windshield.

 

[PercyPig]

HOLD ON ESWANTI!

 

[Ellie]

Eswatini looks like it’s about to capsize.

 

[Nancy]

They should have taken inspiration from the Macy's parade in New York.

 

[Adeva]

i need a QWELLS

 

[Lucille]

IS HE FROM GABON?

 

[Ellie]

Did they really not PREPARE FOR RAIN?

 

[win_the_game]

Why are they only putting the African countries on rickety small boats?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

 

[Nancy]

Did Gabon construct their tiny boat on a team building away day?

 

[Adeva]

I really wanna see those FINGERS

 

[Marina Salty]

Did we all got signal loss card?

 

[Lucille]

Did they really not PREPARE FOR RAIN?

You can’t exactly put a gazebo over the Seine!

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm glad his fingers aren't slipping.

 

[Ellie]

You can’t exactly put a gazebo over the Seine!

You can over a piano!

 

[Madison]

You can’t exactly put a gazebo over the Seine!

I bet the Chinese could.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Hey Mr. georgia
