Is Mitt Romney in the crowd?

 

[DJMicLuv]

Are they seriously rubbing their healthcare system in the world's face?

Yes we are. Enjoy it!

 

[The Game]

lol NHS really...

 

[KennyLinder]

Danny Boyle is a cunt.


This is amazing, happy to be English!

 

[D4Danger]

NHS <3

what now, Romney?

 

[GazzaScotland]

Trampoline beds? Amazing.

 

[NekoFever]

Is this why hospitals don't have enough beds?

 

[friskykillface]

Lol this is gonna get edited in the US broadcast later, count on it

 

[Majine]

Are you getting the hint, US?

 

[The Lamonster]

Going to be watching later this evening...but is it anywhere near as cool as Beijing?

.

 

[LordPhoque]

At least we don't surrender if anyone as much as farts in our direction.

How original !

 

[Keyser Soze]

So many beds... and I thought there was never any available.

 

[XcL_]

Light up trampoline beds .... Check !

 

[SteveWD40]

Still good but worried he peaked early with that God level Industrial Revolution stuff, that music, the rings...

 

[Envelope]

I'm lost.

 

[Dark Schala]

This music is seriously good. Music director or whomever picked some good stuff.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Dat jazz, so good.

 

[twobear]

GOD SAVE THE NHS

 

[LanceVance]

Danny Boyle you legend

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

lol i wish this was what hospitals were like

 

[Dai101]

I am going to punch a whole in my wall if i don't get a stream that you all are watching.

Thanks NBC for being turd knockers.

Anyone have a ad-free stream? I'm from NZ an the ceremony is being interrupted by ads

http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/62202/1/olympics-2012-opening-ceremony-live-stream.html

That's the one im watching

 

[D_prOdigy]

Getting a northern socialist to run this show was the greatest idea ever.

If you don't understand why celebrating the NHS is a good idea for this, then you frankly need pity.

 

[dc89]

the kid jumping on his knees on the mattress was adorable.

Yeah, I know Sunhi can't GIF the entire ceremony but I'm hoping for this one.

 

[Brinbe]

This is great... wonder how this'll go down when it airs in the US a billion hours from now.

 

[Xavien]

Boyle trolling the Conservatives lol

 

[fuenf]

This music is seriously good. Music director or whomever picked some good stuff.

the music is easily the best part of the ceremony

 

[D23]

wait, is the opening ceremony on right now?? wtf what channel on the states?? i dont see anything on

 

[ag-my001]

Is that the real majesty herself doing such a stunt? Especially at her age? Or perhaps a stunt double?

My avatar is a pic of G.H.W. Bush doing a tandem jump when he was 80. It's possible, but considering how quickly she was in the box, I'm going to guess no.

Edit: Actually, he was 85 in that pic.

 

[kitch9]

How original !

I thought I'd lower my posts to your level of retard.

 

[Magnus]

When Japan last hosted, did they build video games into their ceremony at all? As part of Japan's cultural contribution to the world, that is.

 

[Nesotenso]

I don't get the NHS part

 

[Nilaul]

Opening pretty much sucks, compared to the last two or three.

 

[Fari]

I love how this venerates socialism much more than the Chinese did.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Some people need to chill out.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Wrong thread, oops

 

[smiggyRT]

Because the NHS is the best thing ever and we are so proud of it

Absolutely this.

 

[Quick]

OH SNAP

JKR

 

[TheBioLover]

JK Rowling!

 

[Ushojax]

Oi oi it's jk rowling

 

[Keikaku]

.

It's way wackier but I like it for different reasons than I like China.

China was grand spectacle, this is more like art-house nostalgia.

 

[dc89]

JK Rowling. English literature. This could be good.

I don't get the NHS part

When the NHS was founded - it was ground breaking. It's a very important part in the history of this country.

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy shit, its Harry Potter's god

 

[Clegg]

Dat J.K

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Rowling showing where she copied from.

 

[Keyser Soze]

WONDERBOOK

 

[Levyne]

[Brinbe]

[LegoArmo]
