The one 8,474 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 You had to laugh right at the start the swimmer with the big nose sitting next to Gary Linker with his big lugs . They have had years to plan that opening ceremony and thats the best they could do ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,866 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Re Rod Stewart etc...I think it's been trendy for a while now to be more proud of your Celtic roots (that's with a hard c not a soft c) if you're born in England but of "mixed race." I'm only one eighth Welsh (I think) but I still support them in the rugby; though that's more to do with preferring their playing style...and my daughter has a Welsh name; though that's as much to do with liking the name. Having said that, thanks to 2012 and all the events that happened in that year, it seems more acceptable now to be able to fly an English flag without being labelled racist. As for the Games and the opening ceremony...I found it was another of those occasions when, as an Englishman, I was proud to be British!
