    I’m not sure why they thought carrying the torch should be so long in the actual opening ceremony.

    It’s clear the commentators don’t know half the torch bearers

    I don’t mind that, if the rest before it hadn’t taken so long.

    I’m getting ready for this balloon to fly off to somewhere else now. Probably back up the Seine.

    They should have got Drew Barrymore in because that kid (in the mid 80s), really knew how to light a fire, and keep it going!. :rolleyes:

    Ahh now they famous French woman Celine Dion singing.


    I'm now waiting for a Peter Sellars lookalike coming on as the pink panther character.

    "Does your dog bite?"

    "no"

    gets bitten by the dog.

    "I thought you said your dog does not bite"

    "that is not my dog"

    Not a Celine Dion fan but omg what a performance. Even more amazing when you take into account her recent medical history!

    Agreed. And anyone who wants to say anything different should think twice.

    Strange they have used another person not actually from France with Celine being French Canadian. They used Lady Gaga earlier too. Seemed they spent more time on promoting people from other parts of the world rather than French artists.
