The music reminds me of Bilbo's birthday party from LoTR.

I was thinking of the flute part of Spinal Tap's 'Stonehenge'

[Clegg]

Everyone on my newsfeed complaing that it's not 'Welsh/Scottish/Irish' enough.

Thats because we're not British.

I can guarantee you that the people complaining about the lack of Irish participation would also be complaining if there were too much Irish participation.

 

[DJMicLuv]

It's like something from 'The Wall' live show.

 

[GJS]

Fuck I hate Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Also Americans won't get this bit at all.

Unless they have an interest in the UK, I would guess that most people won't understand much from the ceremony.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

STFU Trevor Nelson

THIS.

Sounded like he was on the phone to his mate, not broadcasting on live TV.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

 

[Zaph]

Seriously can't believe they're letting that idiot Trevor Nelson 'commentate' over this.

 

[anaron]

I'm buying the album when it becomes available. The music's so good.

Oh, totally.

Thanks, your a lifesaver!

 

[Majine]

Great music throughout this, as fitting for the musical capital of Europe.

 

[Piggus]

Loving this so far! Well done to our friends across the pond.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Talking about phone cables. jesus, STFU. You ruined the Jubilee, dont ruin this BBC.

 

[Shadow780]

I'd like to popp those Marys so hard.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Can't believe people are complaining. I'm a cynical nobhead and even I'm loving this.

These Olympic ceremonies always seem to shut me up. I can't find much to nitpick because I can't help but appreciate how much work and talent went into this. The sheer scale of these things is beyond impressive.

 

[dc89]

I need some bedding which glows.

 

[Amagon]

Army of Marry Poppins crush Voldemort.

Oh my god.
