heheheh agree straferjack...fair play to DB. But the commentary...well thank god for twitter.

Nope. Not joyless..don't start with all that bollox. Just utterly disappointed as I wanted to enjoy the ceremony. How they can justify the cost of this I'll never know..however,as this is the pro-Olympics thread...


Huzzah for the Fiji flag bearer (highlight of the ceremony so far)

I saw him. Boy that was weird.


There were so many enjoyable little moments during the ceremony it made it worth watching. I was particularly pleased that in this age of the celeb, the torch was lit by 7 unknowns.

    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
