Romanian: a cere, to ask for. Monies, we all know about monies. Ceremonies: a Romanian begging.

Ceremonies sucked. It was like it would get to a point where something might happen and they forgot to do whatever.

I enjoyed Bean as well. I was a bit surprised that there was no Doctor Who related acts.

The ceremonies for the Olympics were quite awesome. I don't know what the heck the Rimmer was suggesting while in England that he was concerned if they were ready. Boy, we're they ready. Question is....is the Rimmer ready for prime time?

I was giddy at the use of Pink Floyd's 'Eclipse' during the torch lighting. A very good use of British Pop/Rock history.

I can't wait to see if the torch causes problems located in the middle of the arena.

Better access for hot dogs and marshmallows that way.

the torch was moved to the end of the stadium (still can't be seen outside).

i liked the queen and mr bond jumping out of the helicopter.

i'm annoyed with the nbc coverage in general and have gotten the bbc version of the iplayer. i'll play it tomorrow to see the bits that nbc edited out.

Not able to rx the local NBC affiliate here. Just the luck of the draw that I'm betwen hills and both the Eau Claire and Rochester stations. I sourced the BBC content elsewhere.

I can see the TV towers from my apartment's patio, but I can't receive it. What a bunch of bunk. Since I'm too cheap for cable, I have to get all of my Olympic streaming from illegal streams on sites like justin.tv and ustream.

I tell ya what's icky, all those crappy super PAC commercials polluting the coverage. NBC should have refused that garbage from both sides. If I hear Romney sing "America the Beautiful" one more fscking time, I'll be the next lunatic you read about in the papers.

Yeah, but according to my conspiracy friends on FB, the Olympics is a "false flag" and is being run by the Illuminati.

If they relied on my interest in the olympics to keep things going there would be no olympics. I have absolutely no enthusiasm or interest whatsoever.

I'd gladly watch that over the political bullshit ads; well, maybe not gladly. I wonder if weeeeeeeeeeeee can get Maxwell to sing America the Beautiful?

I have to pass the Olympic Park twice a day to and from work. Leaving London Liverpool Street the first sights you see as you reach Stratford is the; Motorway leading to the Blackwall Tunnel followed by a freight depot and a vandalished hopper wagon.

Someone at work said that a relative met some of the competitors. This morning a cyclist who cut across the Olympic lane nearly met two members of the South Korean delegation via their bonnet and windscreen.

It was unkindly remarked that when Muhammed Ali appeared with that lady supporting him, telling him to wave. It looked like a remake of Weekend at Bernies.

It must have been a good opening ceremony as on Saturday morning some people decided to have some community signing at 2.30 am in the railway station car park at the back of my house.

Is their anyone on here who is at the Olympics or is planning on going?

When I first read this, I thought it said anal view, and I was going to let you know that was no cookie, or chocolate, for that matter. I'm glad I re-read it and didn't make an ass of myself with a stoopid comment like that.

I thought you were fairly accurate with that description....The stadium looks like a giant hospital bedpan....
