Watching the start of the Olympics in London......Anyone else?

“I think it might have been better if more people knew who Tim Berners-Lee is.”

To be honest, and much to the shame of my inner nerd, I thought he was Clive Sinclair.

[stylecouncilor]

That WAS a surprise.

[Betis70]

Yes, and as ConservativeTeen pointed out, they STILL can’t bring their own flag to the Olympics.

[virgil]

I thought the Queen’s entrance was funny and I’m surprised she allowed it.

[dfwgator]

I bet the DUmmies are really letting Costas have it over there.

[Liberty Valance]

Ha!

[dfwgator]

Bowie’s “Heroes’ playing for the British team.

[jakerobins]

I had a look they are still PO’ed that they let loose the smell of the Industrial Revolution.....oh and Mitt Romney! LOL

[jwalsh07]

US and UK tie for gayest attire. I missed Kenya, was Obama carrying the flag?

[dfwgator]

Where’s Pippa?

[Betis70]

Can anyone explain why these US announcers are using the honorifics reserved for British subjects? “Her Majesty” “Sir Paul McCartney”.

Didn’t we fight two wars against this crap?

[jakerobins]

I know I would have liked to see her “Gold Medal” bum tonight as well.....LOL

[dfwgator]

This Beatles Cover band sucks.

[Jrabbit]

Really bad...

[John W]

She’s in the royal box. They’ve shown her a couple times.

[the scotsman]

Firstly, we arent subjects. Thats a myth, we havent been for many years.

Secondly, thats what they are. Saying so isnt kowtowing to the Limeys. You are reading far too much into it.

[John W]

Sorry, got my royal bums mixed up. It’s Kate in the box they’ve shown.

[Jrabbit]

Community activists, environmental activist, etc., etc.

[aberaussie]

bttt

[matt04]

Ban Ki-Moon. Barf!
