That friends was amazing, I don't think anyone will beat China as far as opening ceremony's go. Talk about military precision that was it in all it's glory.

Not much to work with. Cold pork pies, warm lager, a few resentful colonies. They'll hold the OC in a BBC studio.

Was Nasi Goreng at the opening ceremony...???

 

[blues4flag]

Thought it'd never end. Great ceremony, though being up past two isn't preferrable when I've got to be up at half past 7.

What about the dramatic toss of the flag during China's national anthem? I thought Rolf Harris had invaded China when they brought in the bamboo things. What an amazing spectacle, here's hoping Cadel can get us to a good start today!
