Predict Olympic Opening

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

The opening ceremony is supposed to represent the country of England and introduce the olympics, China's 2008 opening was jaw dropping and the english said they wouldn't even try to compete and I wouldn't either beause no country in the world in my opinion could do an opening like the chinese did, but lets guess what the english will do for fun!

Whoever predicts the closest to how the opening ceremony will be tommorow wins!


Here's mine

Opening: Stone henge, with ancient pagan flute type music
slowly nordic knights come they find peace
In comes two royal like figures to classical music and a giant classical orchestra comes up and a giant "ball room dance" begins with beautiful lights and LCD's and a great orchestra plays.. then

everything goes dark and a giant chior comes out and out comes Patrick Stewart to do something from Shakespear

then a sweep comes in of a bit of scottish dancing for a short bit with celtic music and BAM

Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr come out playing a beatles tune whom are soon joined by the singer of Muse who starts to sing we are the champions from queen

After this you get a dark spotlight, it's Sir Elton John and Adelle sing a piano version of Rolling in the deep which is soon joined by a giant orchestra to a giant Elten + Adelle rolling in the deep duet.

finally a lone red phone booth drops down from the air and out comes Dr.Who and says "Your not dreaming! Welcome to the london olympic games!"

lol oh and david beckham kicks a ball through the olympic loops but its blocked by harry potter riding a broom somewhere around there.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

I guess no one likes a little fun oh well

[Methmatician]

I have no idea what will happen.

[Rødskjegg]

Why would Nordic knights be there?

-_-

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

Why would Nordic knights be there?

-_-

from when the brits fought them off and royal families and so on :P then it will turn into the three musketeers or something lol

[Graham]

Farmyard with dancing sheep & boulders. Then Authentic mist & rain. With Traffic, lots of cars and frustrated drivers.

With some song by Will.I.Am and Susan Boyle duet.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

[Lithium]

I predict a lot of negroes and pakis. :D

[MST3K]

I Wouldn't mind seeing David Tennant light the flame at the stadium.

[SilverKnight]

Radiohead or Muse opening (or other great British alternative band)? beats Chinese 100x :D

[Graham]

Should be Redgrave imo, sporting Olympian great.

[Graham]

Kasabian. Good for large crowds.

[Graham]

To make up for a spat.

Boris johnson to give Mitt Romney a piggyback in a show of solidarity. Doing the lap of honour.

I agree completely-so we will share victory if EVERY bit of the above occurs! It would be:thumbs up wicked.

[PetiteParisienne]

Morris dancing + rugby mash-up.

A performance of Twelfth Night whilst cheese-rolling.

The world has no idea how wonderfully weird the English are.

[Graham]

It's a fragile mix of sexual repression, ferocious classism, and a thinly-veiled superiority complex.

[Graham]

Sheeep discus

[PetiteParisienne]

Sheeep discus

Ha. I was going to say sheep shot put.

[Apina]

I predict some form of tribute song to Michael Jackson - the Brits seem to be obsessed with this guy :confused:

[carol]

It's a fragile mix of sexual repression, ferocious classism, and a thinly-veiled superiority complex.

Its amazingly funny. I am always very impressed by the timing, and the dry way people express it. Some of the humor is also so subtle to me that it takes a second or two to even realize it was a zing. But my very favorite type is the Monty Python type- sweet silliness.

[Graham]

Going with tonights theme, Official Olympic song Combine Harvester - The Wurzels.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

david beckham to light the torch you think?

To make up for the omitting from the team.

[Graham]

Fucking shoot me if that happens.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

[Graham]

FTQ! good show though

[Graham]

YES! MR Bean hahahaha

[Damião de Góis]

Well, at least the music was awesome.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

I thought it was a complete utter let down compared to china this was crap.

[Graham]

At least we got a small bit our Scots national anthem :P So many nations!

Our Chris Hoy is the front man for GB.

[Pretan]

LOL did anyone else see that German guy giving the Nazi salute when Team Germany came out. xD

[Graham]

Germany came out, zoomed into crowd, guy was doing nazi salutes.

[Graham]

Look at Camila and Boris Johnson behind him. Fucking hell lol

[Rouxinol]

Who is that nazi?

[PetiteParisienne]

'Good evening, Mr Bond.'

'Good evening, Your Majesty.'

[Graham]

Shame Scots weren't allowed to wear their national dress like others. Good to see Hoy though.

[Graham]

Fucking tory Seb Coe, fuck off!!

[PetiteParisienne]

Old Liz looks blimmin miserable, per usual.

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

my brother said it would have oprhans in it, he got that one locked down, i was saying no way, that it wouldn't make sense

i saw that nazi salute too

[Apina]

Germans never fail to disappoint.

[Leliana]

Germany came out, zoomed into crowd, guy was doing nazi salutes.


https://instagr.am/p/NmakLtuMMa/media/?size=l

Nazi salutes are done with the right hand and with closed fingers, not with the left left hand and open fingers. Stoß being hysterical, Brit. :rolleyes: The best you have to over to the world is a worn out comedian like Mr. Bean.
:lol00001:

Btw, we Krauts are coming to you one way or another, taking your medals. :shrug:

[Leliana]

And great opening ceremony, London. I've seen more Black- and Asian than White people by the host town. :stop

I suppose your right, far be it from me to question someone with personal experience on the matter.:D



The best you have to over to the world is a worn out comedian like Mr. Bean.
:lol00001:
They should have got Jeremy Clarkson to organise the ceremony tbh.:(


Btw, we Krauts are coming to you one way or another, taking your medals. :shrug:

Like Beijing?:p


And great opening ceremony, London. I've seen more Black- and Asian than White people by the host town.
It hasn't gone un-noticed, even for London they were massively over-representing the Colonising minorities. That is to be expected though due to the Narcissitic Liberal organisers wanting to show how "Multi-cultural" we are. In reality, that doesn't represent anywhere outside the cesspit known as East London.

[carol]

I couldn't see much, although I found some short video on the news, any suggestions for a good link? From what I could see, short clips, you did yourselves proud, London!

[carol]

'Good evening, Mr Bond.'

'Good evening, Your Majesty.'

Now I know what this means-I just saw a short clip-wonderful. Can you suggest a site where I could see more video of opening ceremony?

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

it was on television in america I believe

[carol]

it was on television in america I believe
I would need to see it on computer, because in Maine on this mountain, I get only three local TV channels, not national channels. I use the computer instead, for just about everything.

They should have hired you to direct and produce the ceremonies. Boyle seems like a nice man who is great at what he does for a living, but the stuff before the parade of nations made me react like this::cool::confused::eek::rolleyes: It's a shame that the first part wasn't nearly as outstanding as the last part. The James Bond skit was cool, though.

[Bobcat Fraser]

Well, at least the music was awesome.

I would buy that collection. The Jam song was a pleasant surprise.

[Bobcat Fraser]

Morris dancing + rugby mash-up.

A performance of Twelfth Night whilst cheese-rolling.

Sadly, that was close to the truth. Who knew our front lawn could have taken part in the ceremony?

[Bobcat Fraser]

Farmyard with dancing sheep & boulders. Then Authentic mist & rain. With Traffic, lots of cars and frustrated drivers.


From now on, your name will be Kreskin. They could have planted crops during the salute to agriculture.

[Bobcat Fraser]

You indeed are psychic. That's the headline on The New York Post.

That's true!! When I first heard about the ceremony being in the East End, I thought oh God...gird thy loins. :D

It was definitely obvious the amount of mischlings that were performing that multi-kulti was pushed. Sickening.

[poiuytrewq0987]

Utterly stupid. Looked more like a circus than the opening of Olympic games.

[Bobcat Fraser]

It's a fragile mix of sexual repression, ferocious classism, and a thinly-veiled superiority complex.

Otherwise known as a hot mess. "Hey Jude" made up for a multitude of sins, though.

The multicultural emphasis was OTT. And this is coming from someone who's multi-ethnic, himself. You would think that the UK has the same demographics and ethnic composition as Brazil. Maybe they were just giving a preview of 2016.

German Invasion.
