What a.... Unique logo choice

With around 2 weeks to go until the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics will dominate international TV's for two weeks (July 27th - August 12th)

With thousands and thousands of people flocking to London to catch the Olympics, It's going to get busy, But for those of us who are back home, It's going to be another exciting event.


So who's going to be catching some / any of the events? I might get a few depends what's being televised on the day. Cheering Australia on for GOLD ;)
Watching it now on tbox, even though we have foxtel too, I'm looking forward to javalin etc

Ceremony is being shown now... replay at 2pm and I think the first events start some time around 6pm...

Seems weird to me how they make such a big deal over the NBA athletes.
Run run run
Great show!

I started watching at 8 this morning after all the good stuff had been shown so definitely need to re-watch it this arvo.
I am in the process of watching the opening ceremony. Did anyone else get completely lost??

just saw Australia march in
watched the start then lost interest once Dizzee Rascal came up, then went back to it once the athletes started to march, then stopped just after the Aussies came out...
Drowning this out as much as possible. [Derp]

Drown it out with this article full of win.

Started watching the replay of the opening ceremony. It got so confusing that I had to turn it off. Girlfriend is watching the countries being introduced now.

Mary Poppins coming to save the day from Voldemort, Monkey Men and something else. A giant baby head being given an exorcism. @_@ Then it just got discordant. Something about music and the internet?

I really am lost for words, though I totally forgot this has anything to do with a sporting event whatsoever. A silver lining. Maybe they know people like myself won't watch the Olympics if there isn't some sort of ambiguity to it all, hence, what I just watched. *starts conspiracy theorising*
*boring stuff happens*

MR BEAN [Derp]

*more boring stuff*
i just want to see the bit where queen music is on

do you think i can find it on the internet? [Rage]
Was just watching the opening on the 9 3D channel. My eyes are now bleeding.

But seriously, why didn't all tvs just use the 3D glasses from the cinemas.

LG are doing it. [MOG]

The opening ceremony was very good, but it went downhill after the rings were in the air.

Lol that was pretty funny!

I'm really getting into the handball games this time around.
I find it funny noones mentioned the gold medal in 4x100m women's freestyle medley yet :P

Rice choked finishing 6th, looks like China are going to own the Olympics again.
GBR off to an average start.
Should have got at least something out of the cycling.

Great find SevenII. Very funny.
Saw the OC yesterday, and wasn't as memorable as previous ones IMO. That Bond and Queen was ho-hum. Even Beckham going down Thames was unspectacular.
That British music recollection from 1960s to present was decent, but that today's tech era was hokum.
Only real highlight is Mr Bean's dream of 'Chariots Of Fire'.
