Olympics Opening Ceremony

I can't wait

I predict at least 4 forumites banned and 1 arrest for anti-Olympic posts that get out of hand.

Be a long old night...starts at 20.12 hope to wrap it up by 12.30.... Ronnie corbett to light the Torch

Not Ronnie Barker's son then

I do hope Chit Chat's very own Olympic Attaché, rogerthebutler, will be on hand to cheerlead

who's been nominated to start the **offician olympics opening ceremony in running** thread?

Think hes busy lighting the torch on behalf of chit chatters Olympic Squad

What is the spread for the amount of forumites banned during the Olympics?

who really cares?

Not my bag really.

These things are generally, unmitigated boll0cks, with Barry Davies warbling a load of stuff that would get him an internship in 'Pseuds Corner' on the Beeb.

Still, if it gets a few non-committed's interestd in the Games and provides some further w@nk material for the self-styled Chit Chat 'Cultural and Good Taste' Stazi then rock the fk on!

Basically it's about the Sport now. Going to be at Dorney on Sunday and have just got a ticket for the Womens Eight Final next Thursday.

As Butler says, me loves sport.

I'm going to miss it.  Wonder if they'll mention it on the news the next day.

no

Almost certainly, especially if 'third Crusty from the left' in the Glastonbury Moshpit extravaganza fluffs his lines in the full glare of the worlds media during 'The Levellers' Vignette.

Ohhh, there I go - giving it away again!!

Clay - totally agree, was thinking exactly the same thing the other day.  Just imagine a thread to draw our the witticisms of forumites on a combination of pretentious creative types, celeb spotting and national stereotypes from 190 odd countries.

It needs to be a true legend of the forum. A real David Beckham type IMO.

Don't want to spoil the fun, but saw a picture of Roddick in the official USA outfit yesterday.  Hello sailor!

write him a letter then berto if you fancy him, he isn't likely to be reading chit-chat is he?

I think we are going to be surprised

will we all be drug tested

Anyone know what time the athletes parade begins? Not sure i can stomach the panto bit that precedes it. Thanks

rogerthebutler,

I can't have you throwing cold water on the opening ceremony.

For a man that has spent a long time on here championing the Olympics, this is no time for faux disdain. Just as Chit Chat is readying itself to emerge from a fog of denial and cynycism and properly embrace the Olympic spirit, this is no time for you to abandon ship.

I'm there dude, but Danny Boyle doing his best not to offend the sectional-interest miserablists does not make for ennervating viewing.

Now the Cycling tomorrow and even the fact there's alrady been World Records set in the Archery today, has me tumescent with anticipation - feeling which is only further heightened by the fact no spectators were allowed in to see the latter, thus winding up the miserabalists yet further.

You just KNOW that the culmination of tonights opening show is going to be the synchronised popping of chit-chatters heads in a David Cronenberg 'Scanners' style jamboree as they realise it's here, it's on, it's going to be brilliant and there's not a damn thing they can do about it!

scanners , classic film

Im with you roger, i have the olympic fever

Go with your bad self Ibrahima!

Get into the party groove.

I'm having my tonsils out on Monday, so it's Dorney on Sunday morning then some decent chow for the last time for a month on Sunday afternoon, with the family.

A b1tch indeed since I won't be able to cheer like lunatic for the Women's Eight's final next Thursday!

I'll be down at the Pineapple on thurs, pal coming over for his 1t trip to the races, Goodwood on Friday

If I make it there, I'll be the one in the corner, sucking ice cubes and cranking CoCodamol!

One tenth of London opening budget spent, let's see .
