Sounds like the opening ceremony will be quintessentially British.

So no chest beating with ridiculous scale. Just quirky and different with a touch of humour and some great music hopefully.

The last opening ceremony in China was impressive, massive but cold imo. I suppose that reflects what China wanted to do. It was about a statement of intent on the world stage.

I'm really looking forward to sitting down and watching it with my family in a few short hours.

Well, it should certainly be different anyway...

I have faith in the organisers. Let's hope they can deliver.

 

So the question is: Will Steve Redgrave, David Beckham, or someone else, light the cauldron?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
