coogar: Slapping the tories on their own turf, yet no labour MP was invited to the opening ceremony, huh? They need to take politics out of a sporting event, politicizing the opening ceremony was disgusting IMO - and it won't stop David Cameron from privatising the NHS. your forefathers conquered theirs, they speak your language and yet you are the follower who happens to be a dog? the mind boggles..... My ancestors are buried somewhere in the jungles of Africa... Honestly, we need a new foreign policy devoid of the yankz - and yesterday should have been about competing with Beijing, and not the yankz. the yanks would wish they have such history apart from the union/confederates nonsense history. millions of them troop in every year to see the buckingham palace every month! What history? The industrial revolution, James Bond, and Beatles?? If they wanted to showcase more about British history and achievements - they should have included immortals of science like: Sir Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawkings, Peter Higgs etc. |

] coogar: It was a mess, Coogar. Public's opinion . . and that's all that matters. If it was the British olympics and only you guys were watching, the everlasting Queen and Kate Middleton could have done cartwheels for 3 hrs and it would have been acceptable. That dress rehearsal we all watched yesterday wasn't acceptable. |

The only thing that woke me up was wen nija was parading..popsy woke me up to see it. Omo this british no get culture oo! The only thing that made sense there was the rural display to the indusrial period.. And that was the END! Everyother thing that follows were disorganosed! Utter rubbish. They just showed up sum gurela daville,mary popins etc... So james bond is nw part of british culture? And a boy wit his ipad... O come on! They culd hav done better. Go back and watch that china opening. For somebody who fell asleep 3 times, you are not in a position to rate London's performance. |

buzugee: cant help were i was born. but i am not deluded enough, like yourself, to classify a pantomime show as a world class event. bruh you gotta admit, britain is finished. the people are stodgy pretentious bores living on past glory. the show yesterday encompassed this point. awwww, come on - don't liken everyone else to your sourpuss status. the whole world enjoyed what they saw last night apart from few people with no lust in their lives. people like yourself that are belaboured with hunger, frustrations, obesity....the people who still reason like you do are tools who drive white vans and fuck prostitutes! 1 Like |

BABE!: go on twitter and read what the sane world think about the ceremony! i never rated danny boyle as a world class director and i was a bit worried when i learnt he was the string puller but after what i saw last night, he should be knighted! that was the best movie he never made! shymmex: they did not politicise sports! they only showcased their history and tradition and up until yesterday, nhs was still government owned. so what do you expect? nobody cares about cameron. everyone knows if he goes to the poll tomorrow, he would lose by a landslide margin!
then you have no chutzpah to criticise if your country cannot serve the same showmanship you saw on tv last night!
cameron is about to change the currency to the american dollar - the brits always tailgate the yanks!
james bond is not history? a franchise that started in 60s isn't history?
bringing the inventor of the world wide web to the ceremony is enough. sir isaac newton is dead, don't let madam tissauds deceive you! 1 Like |

I think in terms of creativity and content London has it but in terms of execution and showmanship, Beijing wins. I know for sure that what was shown last night was not the best of British...last night, the good bits were brilliant and the bad bits were awful. The Brits forgot this was a global show and failed to use the well known icons that people recognise as british. Also, the good things they remembered, they failed to showcase properly e.g. shakespeare, the suffragets (fought for women's right to vote), focus on health and welfare would have been better portrayed by the Redcross.... I like the tribute to the fallen soldiers around the world (love the whistling as this added a bit of poignancy) and the tribute to the dead (though I thought Leona Lewis would have sung the hymn better). The forging of the rings and the lighting of the cauldron were the best bits and justifiably so as these are the two parts that people focus on the most at any opening ceremony. People need to remember that civilisations rise and fall...persia, rome, etc...so all this talk about Britain and US fading away is just reality...mind you I said fading not failing. Even China was once a great civilisation that was overtaken by the west and is only just picking itself back up. Countries rise and fall, which one is Nigeria doing How many of you critics can envisage a time when Nigeria can put up a show that's even half as good as last night's? in 2020? 2024? when? How many King/Emir's palaces will get airtime? which of the globally recognised great Nigerian sportsman will light the cauldron? Will we do it without any foreign consultant's help? ...Please look to your own country and your own households. Oh, and I hope you guys realise that the queen did not really fly in that 'coper? If you did, you be real mumu Can I also add that last night's opening ceremony, as imperfect as it was, was a people's opening ceremony and not a 'photoshopped one like Beijing. London used deaf kids, hospital staff and inpatients at the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Beijing would not let a cute healthy (not deaf and definitely not dumb) girl sing bbecause her teeth were crooked. They didn't even try to fix her teeth, they got another girl to mime the pre-recorded song!!! I know which one I prefer... definitely London |

shymmex: Some of you're are still stuck on London's nuts.. i thought i was the only one that noticed that, not only that she couldnt even be bothered to stand when the british contingent marched past. this has got to be one of the most boring and quite frankly ordinary opening ceremonies ive ever watched, how can you even compare it to the pomp and grandeur of the chinese, look at how the chinese showcased their culture and tradition compare that to the rubbish that was on show yesterday, i mean the queen jumping out of a helicopter - how s.tupid is that? A right wing british mp even dubbed it multicultural crap! |

Ayoo, shymexx! Where was your ugly a*s during the ceremony? Cleaning the toilets? |
Re: London Vs Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony: Which Was Better? by Nobody: 7:13pm On Jul 28, 2012 |
coogar: Oh please shut the hell up. That someone didn't fancy the British show doesn't imply they ''didn't understand it''. What rubbish is that? What is the great complex mystery behind what they were showing? For many people the ceremony was CRAP. Pure and simple. And most definitely inferior to the show put up by Beijing. Don't come in here patrionising anyone with any British nonsense. Many think it was crap. Deal with it. |
