Olympic Opening Ceronomy
« on: July 27, 2012, 21:41:24 PM »

Is it just me or are you embarrassed about this ? And what's with the French announcements before those in English ?

Surely it must get better

I'm actually impressed with it and I don't impress easily! Just said the same as you on Facebook about the French translation first? How rude.

It got better when they played the music, but I don't think it showcased UK as an exciting and forward looking nation. Big chance missed for me.

There's only so much you can do in one stadium, live...

I thought it was very vibrant and colourful - that'll do for me, I'm easily pleased  :)
