well, it IS the elephant in the room.

so - what did everyone think of the opening ceremony?

i live in weymouth (as i know i've stated more than once) and we are host to the olympic sailing. it is a nightmare down here at the moment in regards to traffic, tourists, military patrolling the streets etc. going to stay indoors for a few weeks and hope this all passes.

goldencup:
Well.....I enjoyed it.  Bits (scene changes, cauldron, fireworks) were amazing.  Other bits were confusing.  Some were just odd.  I liked the Mr Bean bit and James Bond.  Not sure about getting Mohammed Ali involved.  And Hey Jude was awful.  But generally good!

chocadmin:
Yes, generally good opening and quite  a contrast with beijing. No idea if we'll win many medals though.

wjp666:
we're not doing too well atm, are we? hmph.

oldspice:
I watched bits of the opening ceremony (there was a good documentary about Thin Lizzy over on BBC4) and, like GC, found some bits very good and some rather strange. I loved the bit with the Queen (especially the corgis) However, it cost £27 million. That's a lot of money considering we're being told 'austerity cuts' are necessary.
