Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

 

[Meadows]

When will John Terry light the cauldron?

oh please let this happen

 

[zomgbbqftw]

French was the language I diplomacy for a very long time before the rise of America and English.

English is not the world language because of America...

 

[Magnus]

Think about it

I have. I'm not talking about the athletes at all. . I'm talking about the flags. Have they all been placed into one location in past ceremonies the way they have been on the hill here?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Rogg. Hurry Up.

 

[mclem]

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

Temperance young man.

 

[Red_Man]

LOL perfect response

 

[Nevasleep]

When will John Terry light the cauldron?

Exactly, gets everywhere that guy.

 

[Suairyu]

UK ending gender inequality confirmed.

 

[Xavien]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

Little over-the-top, don't you think?

 

[gutterboy44]

"..gender equality" *flash cut to Muslim nations* *Audible cough* moving on.

 

[MRORANGE]

Top Gear crashes and sets the cauldron on fire.

 

[Pandemic]

Hahahahahaha

 

[VelvetMouth]

It's funny that the Queen couldn't give a fuck since her own grand daughter is on the British Olympic team, but hey she's the Queen and can do whatever the fuck she wants.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

English is not the world language because of America...

Yeah it is, you guys were fine with French before we became a super power.

 

[Jezbollah]

Someone's going to light Boris Johnson's hair and let him run towards the caldron.

 

[kharma45]

Julian Assange is looking a little worse for wear

 

[Clegg]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

Shut up and light the cauldron.

 

[Nolan.]

I don't like those gold collar it looks very council estate

 

[SJRB]

oh please let this happen

He lights it by doing his trademark suicide dive.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Yeah, yeah, we know that Britain is great.

G.B! G.B! G.B!

Now let's end this on a high note!

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Torch turns up in the TARDIS, calling it!

A working TARDIS would explain the budget for the Olympic games.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Getting bored waiting for the Opening Ceremony in USA.

There are ways according to Huffington Post.

 

[TheBioLover]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

Calm down Seb

 

[D4Danger]

When will John Terry light the cauldron?

he's already in his Chelsea kit

 

[seanoff]

Someone's going to light Boris Johnson's hair and let him run towards the caldron.

that i would pay to see

 

[JonnyBrad]

Man I hated Metros, but the 89p double mixers kept me going back, tasted like engine oil though. D:

The council put a stop to the cheap doubles a while back lol. It's nothing like it used to be in the early 2000's. A still go on the odd occasion as the missus is a bit younger than me and still likes it.

 

[Kurtofan]

Ahh, I see. That's really weird, especially when French is not spoken in many countries (with large amount of people). Spanish would have made much more sense. Thanks guys. Keeping it French doesn't seem very fair IMO. They should keep it the language from the place the event is taking place at that moment. Oh well

France has hundreds of millions of speakers, France invented the Modern Olympics as well.

 

[KillGore]

English is not the world language because of America...

Now now, let's not start this. UK and US both helped making the English language the closest to a "universal language" without one or the other it wouldn't have been possible, just saying.

 

[Meadows]

hurry up mate

 

[bitoriginal]

Julian Assange is looking a little worse for wear

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. It's remarkable.

 

[iceatcs]

Where's David Beckham?

I'm sure he will light the flame. Maybe?

 

[Amagon]

Fuck yourself you piece of shit.

 

[XcL_]

Keep it Classy.

 

[Mastadon]

Now he has to do the whole speech again in French.

 

[Bleepey]

US team looked like they came for War, the GB team looked like they came for gold.

 

[Keyser Soze]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK SHUT UP

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Julian Assange is looking a little worse for wear

Haha. He's just back from a round the world trip in the CIA torture plane.

 

[Big-E]

Oh no he is speaking French. Why is he doing that? More people speak Mandarin?

Spoiler

Crazy how people don't know this stuff for something that has been going on for 100 years.

It's the old linqua franca before English took over. It's still the second diplomatic language in the world.

 

[BigJonsson]

The Queen's English

 

[Rich!]

Aaannnd a significant portion of English is derived from French during the middle ages.

 

[friskykillface]

I'll lol if NBC puts a "Live" when they show the opening ceremony



bean time again will be awesome

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Mucho gusto, Queen!

 

[dc89]

Wake up Your Majesty, you need to open the games.

 

[owlbeak]

"is it bed time yet?"

 

[T.O.P]

[kharma45]

Short and sweet, you show em Liz!
