The 'Lympic Opening Ceremony

[Mad Doug Biker]

Who will be watching, and how many more hours of mindless waffle do the BBC feel they need to subject us to before the bloody thing actually starts??

You don't want an answer to that one.

You don't want an answer to that one.

What, who is watching?

I remember 4 years ago there was live coverage on here from a few people. Will we have the same again here?

Wait for them to get on their bikes.

What, who is watching?

• Archery Finished for today 4 events
• Equestrian Finished for today 1 event
• Football Finished for today 2 events

All times UK. Schedule subject to change. The BBC is not responsible for any changes that may be made.
But some 30 hours in total, to answer your question.

I'll watch it when the road race starts tomorrow. Not before.

Are you getting angry?

I only like the egg & spoon race.

I won't be watching for the following reasons:

1. It's on in the middle of the night
2. They're never going to top the Queen parachuting out of a helicopter

I and a few others were at @rich p's gaff 4 years ago; I seem to remember we drank a fair bit and took the piss out of the opening ceremony, and then continued to drink a fair bit more...

But they've announced Dame Judie Dench (Queen's body double) for the opening ceremony!

I gained a lot of respect for the queen for going along with that

Typical, I'm in the pub here getting nicely lubricated sozzled.

Am I really the only one who will be watching??
