it blew me away. i even got a lump in my throat at a few points, but im blaming the all day drinking for that.
Brought back some good memories, and I liked the multi cultural aspects.

Best advice is to stay drunk until it passes, or complain bitterly about bloody hay fever. and how you suspect it is caused by imported crops like rapeseed.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatI missed the first 25mins which I heard was the best. The kids secton with the NHS, Mary Poppins etc all were great, but I got really bored during the 2 hour parade and the Monkey's/Macca finalle was a bit poor if I'm honest. Overall itwas very entertaining but I can't help thinking a bit of a waste of money n some ways.
I wouldn't normally post in an RJH thread, but the opening ceremony was brilliant. How drunk was Danny Boyle when he came up with that?

Originally posted by divegeesterthe beginning was by far the best bit. its on the bbc iplayer. i liked that it avoided the middle class view of britain and seemed very down to earth, but spectacular at the same time. macca bit was pretty bad. they should have finished with the arctic monkeys they seemed to fit in with the vibe better.

i think i liked it so much because i do spend most of my time bitching and complaining about britain, it was nice to be reminded of all the awesome things weve given the world.
i tried not to think of the money spent. it was hard not to though during the nhs section.
