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

[AGinAg (38)]

No rehearsal?

London wouldn't fuck with no rehearsals. They literally seal off Buckingham Palace with 30 metre barriers to rehearse.

 

[Madison]

Loving the skulls.

 

[win_the_game]

Bit on the nose having Zidane stuck on a broken down train.

 

[Lucille]

Love that we’ve already had a feature from THE RATS!

 

[D5K]

Was that a Ratatouille reference?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

BOOOOO!

 

[Marina Salty]

Is it already on?

 

[Lucille]

DC isn’t here so it’s a safe space if you want to say disgusting things about Macron.

 

[Madison]

Is the sound messed up for anyone else? I can barely hear the annoying BBC commentators.

 

[D5K]

Nu kor vi!

 

[Finn]

The BBC sound operator is having a mare.

I'd rather not hear the commentators at all, mind. TWO Scottish people? No thank you dear

 

[AGinAg (38)]

The tricolore bridge explosion was quite cool.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I genuinely struggle to understand the Scottish bloke.

 

[GNL]

I see they didn't quite hit the deadline with Notre Dame sack the project manager.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I genuinely expect something to catch fire. Because you know Paris.

 

[Lucille]

I see they didn't quite hit the deadline with Notre Dame sack the project manager.

Even the Old St. roundabout was completed quicker!

 

[Finn]

The music is AWFUL

 

[PercyPig]

Qatar to turn up on a super yacht

 

[Lucille]

YAS to the one refusing to compete for the anti-gay Cameroon.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

The music is AWFUL

It's like a 70s variety show.

 

[straightorbroken]

Loving the Scottish commentators.

 

[win_the_game]

These boats were a terrible idea.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Whose idea was the boats? It's much less exciting

 

[straightorbroken]

Seriously, we have Jane McDonald and never thought to do this for London? By 'eck.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It's so much harder to pick out the hot ones

 

[Lucille]

It's so much harder to pick out the hot ones

Only spotted the bearded Greek so far.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

It's so much harder to pick out the hot ones

Don't worry there's an accordionist

 

[Lucille]

Olympic E-Sport games?

 

[Lucille]

Show us the Armenian boxer then!

 

[D5K]

I want one of those Aruban jackets

 

[Lucille]

Still on A.

 

[Madison]

These aren’t in the right order

STRIP THEM OF THE GAMES

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Yes. Every country should have boats to scale of their team

 

[Madison]

Unless are they skipping some host countries?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

LADY GAGA!!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Finally!

 

[Marina Salty]

Bahrain bateau teenie tiny

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Do HEAVY METAL LOVER you COWARD!

 

[Madison]

Might it be a good idea to have a caption or a commentator point out who this feather lady is?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Genuinely though, why aren't they getting a full French woman to do this instead?
