  • Who are the people mincing around in the glass tunnel supposed to be entertaining, they only put the camera on them for about 5 seconds every twenty minutes.
  • Alphabetical order seems to have gone to pot. Australia and USA right at the end
  • Why is Australia near the end, when the French for Australia is Australie?

    Did the Chad and Czechia boat break down, or is there some weird linguistic reason why they were in with the Ts?
    French spellings apparently, Tchad and Tchéquie.
  • As it's a curtain raiser, why not a bit of Sash....... Encore une fois. That would get me up off the sofa.
  • Have to admit, having the Surfing out in French Polynesia is pretty cool
  • Why is Australia near the end, when the French for Australia is Australie?
    I assume it's because Australia are hosting 2032, USA are hosting 2028 and then the hosts France bring up the rear.

    The Chad boat 
    The Czechia boat

  • I don't remember there being as many French lyrics songs in the London Olympics opening ceremony

  • Wonder what Marie Le Pen is making of this bit?
  • This is terrible.
  • The dance routines look much better now it's dark. Those pontoons are quite restrictive though, the dancers can barely move.
  • Things just got weird

    That's the Yorkshire spelling surely.

    That makes sense, thanks.
  • Hello blue bollocks 
  • What the hell is the French Smurf Keith Lemon all about?
  • I take it this production is called No Box Left Unticked?

  • London had Frank Turner. By comparison, this is awful beyond comprehension, or an elaborate french practical joke. Or both. 



  • Air exclusion zone over France during the ceremony…
    Is that because they are trying to avoid the stink being caused by the French opening ceremony.
  • This mob are defo part of just stop le oil
  • Shit his pianos on fire in this weather!
  • Dyou know my pianos on fire?

    you hum it and I’ll play it
  • They’ve even managed to fuck a song like Imagine up 
  • I realise it's the done thing to rain on the French parade but the horse galloping along the river is pretty cool.

    Kinnell, they've dragged that mechanical horse out a bit. Time to bring back the tranny dancers. 
  • Saying goodbye to my orse
  • I just dont get what this has to do with France... I mean I get the Fashion bit, but struggling with the rest.

    At least ours celebrated a lot about what we do here in Britain... Film (007) - Comedy (Mr Bean) - Steel (that construction piece)

    This just seems cobbled together rather randomly
