Found it all so boring.. Was ready for falling asleep.. Very poor show indeed from the French.

They appear to be delivering the Olympic flame to Leazes Park...

...although that Olympic flame cauldron is very cool, especially with the nod to the Montgolfier brothers.

Impressive stuff at the end but largely shit.

Like an extended version of one of those segments they have from the host country in Eurovision.

Celine Dion was very good 👍

Aye. I'm no fan but her voice is bloody amazing.

Aye. I'm no fan but her voice is bloody amazing.

Aye - can't disagree with that.

I understand whats behind the Olympics and its aim.

But by fk theres none of them you'd open a beer to get into is there? The track stuff is over in a blink and dressage just doesn't do it.

Was looking at some long forgotton events like live pigeon shooting, dualling and chariot racing. Bring that shiit back I say.

It's amazing the corny things they now include as serious sports like skate boarding and 10 metre air rifle shooting, both kids toys.

It'll be arm wrestling next or fast pint drinking.

Be thankful, they had Olympic art and town planning around the turn of the century.
