Olympics opening ceremony: poor España

[Gentile]

I liked it when they brought in "representatives" of the Army, Navy and Air Force to commemorate the armed forces. When they said they had representatives of them there, I had thought they were just going to flick the cameras onto the erstwhile G4S portacabin at the door of the stadium.

Official languages of the Olympics (to stop the French sulking)

It would be better if the second language was Spanish or Mandarin.

Ah, well there you go. So far we've only been represented at white English or black British so it wasn't for our benefit.

[Gentile]

Don't!

It makes you hope all the Americans are watching it and calling us "commies".

Yes, but TW has had some, em, unfortunate experiences with the NHD (Disservice) recently.

Is this in Canada? They keep doing the announcements in French 1st

In an alternative universe, Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo.

I never actually saw them - it was solely a listening experience for me at that juncture as I was still making dinner.
