Olympics 2012 opening

What a great day it is for the people of Great Britain as we sit down to enjoy the opening here in the Olympics stadium, and there is Boris Johnson Mayor of London on his bike pedaling around the stadium with the Union Flag fluttering from from his bike. And here comes the fireworks man with his big box of fireworks which should last about 10 minutes. And as I look around this half empty stadium, I can see the London Olympics committee standing up and clapping as the first firework is lit then fizzles out without a bang, well what did you expect when its done on the cheap. We were expected a fly by, by the Red Arrows but the PC lobby put a stop to that.


Sarcastic git I am at times. :rotfl:

Maybe we will use CGI fireworks just like they did for Beijing

I think they only got enough money for Windows98, can they do it?

As to the news item I heard about that.

I'll buy a ticket if you are the feature intertainment. (a drunk) Steed in a pink tutu on a unicycle, with a Union Jack. I'd pay to see that. Sure it's not as "flashy" as China's was, but just as entertaining.
