roddy Posted August 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM I've got to admit I'm sitting here thinking '5,000 drummers and dancers . . . again?' Those light wheel things are fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmayo Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:20 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:20 PM So is Boris Johnsons going to be whizzing around the roof of the birds nest then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowdh Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:30 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:30 PM Hi there... some aspects were ok, Paige was spot on, Lewis needs work, the bus was ok... but the people around it were a bit naff and showing the pushing and shoving to get on the bus... along with the spray painting... all we needed was Roddy's stab fest and the chav image would have been complete... for me it was lack lustre... I mean contrast it with the tower of people... and listen to what the commentators report Zhang Yimou said... I fear some truth is there to be had...

realmayo Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:42 PM ah, so it is her! I guess Jiang still has some influence after all ... I guess he probably appointed all these Beijing Olympics people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowdh Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:46 PM Are we talking about the operatic bit that was on...?? The chemistry was definitely there... they performed well together... the pop bit was ok... interesting they had China, Hong Kong AND Taiwan performing together... perhaps showing a united China... aspirations??

roddy Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:48 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 at 01:48 PM Is this ever going to stop, or do we have to listen to them sing right up to 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
