How dare they feature the athletes from their own country! ;)Lynnehttp://www.rickandlynne.com/lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-88194859138431463072012-07-28T18:17:57.872+01:002012-07-28T18:17:57.872+01:00Loved every moment of the opening extravaganza , e...Loved every moment of the opening extravaganza , except that old guy at the end singing the most tedious song ever.Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-78135441938696554572012-07-28T16:48:43.837+01:002012-07-28T16:48:43.837+01:00J and I watched bits and pieces of the opening cer...J and I watched bits and pieces of the opening ceremony. We didn't see much of the big dance and musical numbers, but we saw the celebrated bit with James Bond and the Queen (loved the corgis), the parade of nations, and Sir Paul at the end.<br /><br />I don't have much patience for the epic, nationalistic bits: I changed the channel during the bit celebrating children's literature and the national health system, for instance. But I'm a sucker for the parade of nations: it's just so much fun to see the different outfits, the number of athletes from each nation, and the obvious joy on the athletes' faces. <br /><br />I guess, in other words, I prefer the party to the pageantry.Loriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610684937868696220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-16507270411073286372012-07-28T16:34:13.876+01:002012-07-28T16:34:13.876+01:00FREEDOM!FREEDOM!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806541324601976987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-73450326776227085582012-07-28T14:06:20.993+01:002012-07-28T14:06:20.993+01:00Nice images!
