Paris 2024 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 26 July)

[rhythmbandit]

Nadal really needs to shave that off now.

He somehow looks a decade older than Zidane!

 

[BoysForSeles]

So handing it to another NOT FRENCH person!

14 time French Open champ though so it’s ok.

 

[Kratz]

Why Nadal?

 

[Ellie]

14 time French Open champ though so it’s ok.

Is Roger Federer British now then?

 

[Kratz]

Has SHY’M been on yet?

 

[PercyPig]

Finally a light show!!

 

[AlgoAlex]

I had no fucking clue who that was

 

[ZenGiraffe]

All they're doing is prove that they should have done the whole ceremony from this bit

 

[Sheena]

The fucking NONSENSE of having Nadal in.

BRING OUT MARIE JO!

 

[BoysForSeles]

Is Roger Federer British now then?

Well he hasn’t won 14 Wimbledons for a start.

 

[AlgoAlex]

Has SHY’M been on yet?

No but I have high hopes for Star Academy 3 winner Elodie Frégé

 

[BoysForSeles]

Can’t think who it would be over Perec…

 

[ZenGiraffe]

We haven't heard from @Lucille for a while. Has he FALLEN ASLEEP or GOT HIS HOLE?

 

[PercyPig]

FUCK THIS FUCKING RIVER!!

 

[AlgoAlex]

Cerrone supernature

 

[Kate]

TUNE!

 

[Ellie]

And now SERENA WILLIAMS?

 

[supermassive]

Is that Sonya Morgan on the boat too?

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Cerrone supernature

Proper chills when this started off via the choir.

 

[win_the_game]

Is that Sonya Morgan on the boat too?

Don't ask the BBC commentators. They don't have a clue.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

OK this bit is the absolute tits.

 

[Ellie]

More shite sound.

 

[Finn]

This bit could have done with Loreen, who is of course French in spirit

 

[Kate]

Yes we really wanted to hear *plop* *squelch* instead of the song THANKS!

 

[straightorbroken]

The rain sounds are making me anxious thinking someone's going to get electrocuted.

 

[Finn]

JUST LIGHT THE FUCKING CAULDRON ALREADY

 

[Suedehead]

Not a single British athlete or flag or reference I mean wow Bethany wow

 

[Kratz]

Yes we really wanted to hear *plop* *squelch* instead of the song THANKS!

It must be absolutely pissing it down

POOR FRANCE

 

[ManicKangaroo]

If only

 

[Finn]

And the cauldron had better be the top of the Eiffel Tower

 

[Ellie]

Could they have not got a better dancer? In the year Breakdancing is introduced too.

 

[PercyPig]

I can’t beleive the dancers wanted more money!

The cheek!

 

[Suedehead]

Right I’m off to bed

 

[straightorbroken]

Curious to know what the streaming figures for Supernature and of course Freed From Desire are going to be after this.

 

[Kratz]

Send for PAULINE CHAGNE!

 

[D5K]

Hang on they’re not even there yet?!!!

 

[Madison]

Even my TV has got bored:

 

[FetchFugly]

The Supernature bit with the lights was quite thrilling, cutting to the sad boat on the bloody river not so much.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This light show could use a SECOND SONG

 

[Ellie]

GO FASTER
