Waz 4,274 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think they was announcing in French first just to wind them up seeing as we beat them to host the Olympics and then the ol' tour de france, aswell as the football recently.....MDR (Which roughly translated means dying with laughter!)

Born Hunter 17,817 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I don't know if anyone noticed but when the French team came out waving the little flags, one side was the French flag, the other was the Union Jack, I didn't see any of the other teams showing their respects to Britain like that. Credit to the French for that, I thought it was a very sporting and respectfull thing to do personally. Not saying the other teams should have but I just thought it was very respectfull. Best part of the night for me was the olympic rings being forged from the industrial revolution and the being raised and burning intensly, really spectacular. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hob&Jill 258 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I went down the pub instead. Feel bad really but I just have no interest in the Olympics. Couldn't give a shite about volley ball and badminton etc any other time of the year so why now? I'm not against it, pleased its here for the people who do enjoy it but I just cant get enthusiastic about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
