The Queen! Bond! Corgis!
I know, you're just here for the Corgis.
At tonight's Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics (or as I know them as, the 2012 Athlete Bulge Watch), London shot their biggest load by putting THE QUEEN (you should curtsy at your keyboard while reading that) and James Bond together in the same room. I expected Helen Mirren in THE QUEEN drag to turn around when Bond came sashaying in, but it was the actual Queen and she had a line and everything. I hope this leads to The Queen starring in the next Bond movies as a villainess who beats him with her pocket book.
I haven't finished watching all of the Opening Ceremony, but I'm assuming that instead of fireworks, a naked Prince Hot Ginge came out and did jumping jacks. And I'm also assuming that the musical entertainment was Pete Doherty letting out his crack yodel while Harvey Price backed him up on the tambourine. Oh, and England's official ambassador of beauty Jodie Marsh lit the Olympic cauldron, right? Am I right? I'm totally right.

I dont think any opening ceremony will ever be as jaw dropping/unnerving as the one in China D-:
What was it like 10,000 people all moving and singing perfectly in sync?! If we ever went to war with them id start studying mandarin so i can be prepared for when they take over...

Thank you RedPeggy! It's from a 16th century painting from a Dutch artist...can't remember which one right now. My brain is acting up.

Fuck Yeah! I'm at home watching this with my mother (she's gone to bed right now) and both of us were like WTF!? when they started playing. Me loving it and her going 'errr....?'
I fucking missed Dizzie Rascal doing Bonkers - that's was my anthem oh nine (and he is the nicest person ever)!
Twatty and GG, saw that, lol! Timothy Dalton was also, not bad! Yes, Pierce was good too!

No hate RedPeggy - jellys that's all

5)This is all a fraud without Patsy, Edina and
Kate Moss gakked to the tits falling down.

Binge Drinking/Hen parties.

Patsy and Edina did their bit last night. They had an Olympic episode with Stella McCartney . . . sorry no Moss though.
IMO David Gandy would be the perfect James Bond.
OT I would love to be in London for the Olymics. I shed a little tear when the children sang God Save The Queen.
Oy on the opening!

YW. You should have peeked into OP today. There were quite a few of us who had our geekiness full on display. LOL
Well at least that Katie Price slag (too many cheap whores to name)didnt pop out wearing a Union Jack bikini.

You should be proud! It's extremely exciting.
It was silly, but fun. Love Daniel Craig, and the corgis (so obviously not the queen's!) were adorable. "We can go in spinny whirly fun flying thing, pleez?"
The CGI Churchill thing was not only stupid, tho, but nightmare fuel.

I'm here to kick ass and drink tea. And I'm all out of tea.
Did I miss something? What's the Churchill bit, where the statue turned around and waved at the Queen in the helicopter?

And another thing. That Ferris wheel. London has such a magnificent history-the idea of disturbing that glorious panorama (View From Westminster Bridge, anyone?) with that cheap carny ride just boils my blood.

THIS! I was really disappointed. There is such a rich history with amazing architecture and it sure wasn't capitalized in the opening ceremonies.

Thanks louise!
I was like wtf no way!
I'm not watching if the Churchill spot was bad. I like Churchill. I have a collection of British War Relief pins *hides geekiness*
Personally I would have buzzed the joggers in Hyde Park! :D

Close. It's always French first, then English, then if the host country has a different language, it's read in that language. Like when they were in China, it was French, English and then Chinese. I may have the English and other language order mixed up, but it's always French first.
French and English are the official languages of the Olympics, for some reason.
RedPeggy: Aww, you should be proud! We'd be busting on anything that ANYONE came up with.
And it's an awesome feeling to be somewhere when the whole world is watching. Cheers!
Did the American athletes march in the "French" Ralph Lauren threads that everyone hated that I liked? Guess I need to watch.
GG -- one time I used the word vulgarians in front of someone and they asked me what I had against Bulgarians -- it was quite funny!
Omg I want to kidnap those fat little munchkins and bring them home! I Loooooove Corgis!! Aaaaah!
I love how absolutely bored the Queen looked during the little chirrens singing at her and the military representatives hoisting the flag.

LMFPO when they showed the Queen during the national anthem and she looked like "Dear God, yes. Do save me."
***************
Didn't she though?! I was on the horn w/my mom, and told her that the Queen did not look amused.
@RedPeggy
No laughter from this hoor! Would forking LOVE to be there!
***********************************************
It's LOCHTE time! JEAH!
Within -- it seems that way, doesn't it? It just seems that a lot of my hot men have been on dlisted lately, that's it. Normally, I have a pretty small roster of them. Daniel Craig just happens to be on my list, too. He seems like he'd be an angry fuck, doesn't he? He looks so nice in a suit, too; I like that in a man.
Dion, I've been to one of those - OMG!

I didn't know that. So, it's always a french version of the announcement first, followed by the language of the host country?
Thanks for the info. I was about to get all irate about THAT next .... as if the Jacksons aren't enough.

Hekki, my mom does that face when her precious daughters are acting like unwashed vulgarians (she called us that when we were "acting like boys"). Memories...

So many points:
1) You should always start with Corgis, even if
they are stunt Corgis.
2) Xoxoxo Daniel Craig
3)Delete that awful Churchill bit. Goddamn that
sucked.
4)Nice touch to have surviving members of The
Who do their bit.
5)This is all a fraud without Patsy, Edina and
Kate Moss gakked to the tits falling down.

Did you all see the Queen picking at her hang nail while the British team was coming out? She looked positively bored to tears. Katey had her perma-grin when the camera was focused on her.
Not to be picky but some of the special effects at the beginning looked off.
Guess it is a budget Olympic year.
Let the games begin.
Looking forward to the swimming, diving and gymnastics events.

No she didn't! Did she? I saw it on a Google headline and the photo looked like someone with a wig on.
Did she really?!
No, it was a bit.

Daniel Craig looks like the female version of Liberty Ross.

To me he has "Simpsons lips". I don't know how else to put it. I can't get beyond that.
I think he has a mouth like a duck's ass,

All announcements at the Olympics are given in French and English and the host countries language if different.
I'm very proud to be British. Laugh if you want! I live in London and the atmosphere tonight is electric.
