People in Europe are you watching the ceremony right now?

It's delayed in the USA.

Spain, Mexico, Italy, or USA to take the medals home and I'll be happy

Wasn't that absolutely top hole, my good chaps? A jolly good show!

Good luck to all athletes. But especially to our merry band of Elvis impersonators

Well that sucked, get it together Britainland.

One of my friends was singing in the song before Paul!
She was shown up close twice.

@AGuyiswatchingyou - Why would you say that? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Oh mai gawd its so british i hope you americans got all that look at how we make ourselves look cultureless

For the love of God you guys didn't even stop to count Big Ben's bongs at the end of the hour!

That was fucking awesome. So much so that I had to come on Hupit and tell you all how awesome it was.

I really enjoyed that Opening Ceremony, the fantastic music choices and the opening sequence made me wet. I liked what Danny Boyle did and hopefully he'll be given an OBE or something.

Felt good to be British.

I didn't think it was that bad it didn't portray the English stereotypically. It made a timeline of the major events and some of the multicultural flavour.. Sorry if you didn't like it but it I don't know what else could be done to please you.

Cultureless? Please.. Industrial revolution, 60s, 70s, 80, 90s, WW1, Ye olde days and not to mention Royalty.. It was almost BASED around the culture.

FYI: I AM English

He be sarcasm-ing you.

Also, Tory MP tweeted that he didn't like the leftie multiculturalism of the opening ceremony. No idea why he was watching the Olympics in the first place then.

The opening ceremony went really well, I liked the way up and coming people lit the flame and the petal for each country was a really good idea. My only complaint would have been that when the countries were walking around the track, there were ad breaks on my TV station so I missed Japan, South Korea and Switzerland among about 15 others. It was way more free flowing and looked funner than Beijing.

I'm so glad we have national TV channels over here with no adverts for things like this.

Okay Olympic rings forging was pretty cool.

I just hate that USA shows delayed stuff.

Indeed, it makes paying for a TV license worth it ^^

The opening was kind of weird.... Like the entire baby and healthcare thing? Are they trying to make a political statement or something? Jesus, you can't even go eat at Chick-Fil-A without politics being brought up...

It tried showing things that Brits are proud of: the NHS being one. Then Mary Poppins slaying Lord Voldermort and the Child Catcher being another.

Yeah that went well...

OLYMPIC FACT: At Beijing, the only member of the GB cycling team not to win a medal was... Mark Cavendish! I'll give you good odds on the same thing happening again.
