That business with the blue Smurf God really made me feel like we were missing Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

I loved Eurotrash

I don't mind the Olympics... 

...As long as I don't need to watch any of it. 

Agreed ........although,in fairness, the Breakdancing (new this year ) will be good for a laugh 
Why breakdancing should become an Olympic Sport I don't know but I think they missed a trick ....could have introduced Limbo instead and run it in tandem with the High Jump.....maybe even made it a Duoathlon in the sense that what goes up must come down !

I thought the opening ceremony was typically zany, French and merde-complet!

Matt Hudson-Smith has gold written all over him ... in a sub-43.5 sec clocking IMHO ... really rooting for him  

The rapist volleyball story will no doubt be widely publicised at a critical time to marr the Olympics and maximise social media air time ... but I'm steadfast in my resolve to enjoy sporting endeavours and personal triumphs across sport, in whatever form.

Vive les jeux Olympiques!

The only good moment in last night's opening ceremonies was Celine Dion (I know, sorry) sing Edith Piaf's Hymne à l’amour.

If tears didn't well up when you heard that you have no soul.

(The Johnny Hallyday live version is even better.)

I don't mind watching some of the events, but what kills it for me is all of the frigging filler.  There is only so much analysis you can apply to people running, swimming, chucking things or jumping over things.  It's soooooo tedious and a lot of what is spoken is mindless bollocks.  Problem is you have to try and endure it so you don't miss the live action, but I've just given up on the gymnastics and put Dr Zhivago on for the billionth time.

£4 for a month at the moment with cancel anytime. I signed up yesterday and the coverage is very decent. I don't really like encouraging them but my whole household loves the Olympics.

Yep, the Fra v RSA game was fantastic.  Aus v Fij ain't half bad either.

When's Daley Thompson on? I presume he'll be supported by Iron Maiden as per usual.

Apparently aspects of the opening ceremony, including Gojira's performance, were Satanic.  Andrew Tate says so.
