A thread for the Olympics. 🏃‍♂️

Rafa!!!!

It’s still not over!

I liked the flashes of the catwalk, the disco and the 🐎.

Hurry up with the flame 🔥. I’ve run out of wine 🍷

To all the idiots that can’t speak French he’s saying “soon this misery will all be over and we can all go home to dry off and try and forget this embarrassing evening”.

^I thought bits of the ceremony were amusing/clever^

Yes, it was mixed, quite disjointed I thought.

The flag wavers, dancers, singers etc all performed their hearts out. That's the important thing. 👏

The girl with the umbrella should get together with Penny Mordaunt.

Crack on Monsieur

The only man with the sense to wear a Goretex type waterproof jacket with hood - rather than a plastic bag.

Starmer 1 rest of the world 0!

I liked the fashion thing and the horse. Bits here and there. But cram on please Monsieur .

That's it. I'm done. I can't take any more but I've enjoyed all your comments gransnetters!

Stuck down some chimney somewhere?

Where’s yer man with the torch ! I want to turn it off but it’s so boring it’s hypnotic

Netflix recently put out 'Under Paris', a disaster movie involving giant sharks in the Seine. I'm beginning to wish it had been a documentary...

DH: "If they didn't have umbrellas, they'd cut it short"

Oh those lucky people whose trains were cancelled.

Warner Bros Discovery holds the main Olympics rights in the UK - and have since 2020 - with the BBC sub-licencing from the broadcaster.

So the Beeb is not responsible for the filming, or the sound quality. And it means that it is limited in what it can show live, and how many channels/streams it can have. There will be 1 digital and either BBC1 or 2, compared to 24 digital + TV in 2012.

I thought bits of the ceremony were amusing/clever, but I’m not sure how well it translated to TV overall.

So am I!

And us Calli.

He’d better wind it up before that poor girl’s arm drops off. ☂️
