Is there a link to see the ceremony on the internet ?

I'm sure there is but no luck so far finding a legitimate one

Had a chippy, my body is now quite literally ready.

Red Arrows showing how it's done.

Oh great loser Khan turns up to spoil the show.

 

[ckohler]

Sorry, I meant British. I'm american so I get UK, British, Europe mixed up.

British. And they are better than the Blue Angels

#rulebritannia

Now now, those are fighting words. This is a time of unity of peace!

 

[D4Danger]

I'd pay to see Lennox Lewis KO Aamir Khan right now

 

[Salvadora]

Sorry, I meant British. I'm american so I get UK, British, Europe mixed up.

:lol

 

[DECK'ARD]

I am now very, very excited.

I think it was the Red Arrows.

 

[Addnan]

Red Arrows went right by house, it was beautiful

 

[Xun]

I always get a lump in my throat with the Red Arrows.

[The_Hitcher89]

I love Michael Johnson

 

[Kurtofan]

You guys are sure it wasn't the Patrouille de France?

is the BBC stream super awesome? if not, I'll just stick to Canadian coverage. I suppose it would be neat to hear reactions to the opening ceremonies from a British perspective, though.... still <3 Canadian Brian Williams

[subrock]

anyone had any luck streaming in Canada? ctv.ca is blowing it.

 

[twobear]

What's happening to me I'm...I'm...turning...into a...Royalist!

 

[dc89]

WHOO!! It's finally here!

 

[Shadow780]

The BBC player works, woot!

is it gonna be on BBC One, it's showing boxing.

 

[Hackbert]

happy i could be of help, but the link was posted in this thread the last hours a few times hehe. and you don´t need a restart. but i took the installer route

and wow. that was a picture book english accent of the boxer hehe

 

[Adamm]

The BBC player works, woot!

Yes, build up is on now

 

[Jensen]

The BBC player works, woot!

is it gonna be on BBC One, it's showing boxing.

Yes, the ceremony starts in 40 minutes

 

[satriales]

Red Arrows went right by house, it was beautiful

Same, I heard them fly over about a minute before they showed up on TV.

 

[Noaloha]

What's happening to me I'm...I'm...turning...into a...Royalist!

Sporty propaganda! Flee!

 

[Oxx]

So those are the white and gold uniforms we'll be wearing. Look very nice!

That's some Team GB merchandise I would buy.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Apparently he will.

Excellent!

Boyle better not have him just driving around that grass circle, I want him firing missiles out of his Aston to light the Olympic cauldron.

 

[jett]

Why does the stadium look like ass

 

[Edmond Dantès]

How tacky is that watch.

 

[B-Dex]

Why does the stadium look like ass

English Countryside.

 

[Shadow780]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

BBC stream will unquestionably be the best. You will get over 3hrs of uninterrupted, ad-free coverage.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Why does the stadium look like ass

It was meant to have art all round the side, but they dropped it because the company doing it was involved in the Bopal disaster.

 

[dc89]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

Well there TV coverage doesn't. So online shouldn't.

 

[Jensen]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

It won't have any adverts or sponsors

 

[Salvadora]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

BBC doesn't have commercials.

 

[Withnail]

I'm so hyped. Scepticism is always healthy but I think London is going to put on a great Olympics and the opening ceremony will be glorious.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

working fine from my phone... streaming in pseudo HD

there is this thing called "world feed" on CTV"s website. maybe that will be ad-free?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

No commercials. Its a public funded.

 

[D4Danger]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

BBC doesn't have ads because it's publicly funded

you're welcome

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

No.

There's no such thing as a commercial break on BBC channels.

 

[Wes]

Rain!

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

After standing outside the Birdsnest earlier this year, the stadium here looks like crap, like it's surrounded by trading estates and factories.

 

[Nevasleep]

You guys are sure it wasn't the Patrouille de France?

Quite sure, because Paris didn't win

 

[Clegg]

Katie Taylor is going to win the gold for womens lightweight boxing.

She's Irelands only realistic chance for a gold medal in the Olympics.

 

[killer_clank]

rain lols.

 

[Rich!]

Can I assume BBC won't have stupid commercial breaks too?

BBC has no advertising, full stop.

 

[Jamie OD]

Settling down on the couch now. The way the stadium looks feels like a decoy. Maybe the village stuff will open up and transform into something else.

 

[dc89]

Fiddlesticks at the Olympic Games.

 

[Kamakazie!]

Yes, the ceremony starts in 40 minutes

Yeah 9pm. What was the talk about 20:12 then? Was that the red arrows?

 

[Kal]

Not feeling very confident about the opening ceremony.... Animals??? WTF is going on? This will either be very amazing or the worst opening ever...

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

The countryside thing is embarrassing, out of all the things we have to offer they decided to highlight the countryside, really!?

 

[BigJonsson]

Settling down on the couch now. The way the stadium looks feels like a decoy. Maybe the village stuff will open up and transform into something else.

The ceremony will show the history of London; of course they are going to have it start with a village

 

[navanman]

Katie Taylor is going to win the gold for womens lightweight boxing.

She's Irelands only realistic chance for a gold medal in the Olympics.

I hope she can do it. She must be under huge pressure to perform.
