      Decided to watch it and was impressed:

      - the Queen / Bond scene was good
      - Rowan Atkinson was funny
      - the Hobbits playing football was surreal
      - Abide With Me was pretty crap. They would have been better with a Welsh male choir
      - Tim Berners-Lee was actually tweeting while sitting at that desk, I got the tweet
      - Paul McCartney was also tweeting. Got a good picture of him backstage just before he went on
      - a Tory MP tweeted (seems to be deleted now) but bashed on about multi-cultural, leftist love-in. Hopefully the press will pick up on that
      - there were some scuffles and arrests outside. A pro-cyclist group riding in a restricted area when told not to. ******* idiots, no wonder people have no respect for them
      - the German commentator was waffling on to his co-presenters when the camera panned back to the athletes coming in and Paraguay had a very attractive woman at the front and all you heard was 'whoah'

      Very enjoyable
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Or perhaps they've heard about British summers and came prepared ?
        According to the German commentator they were taking the piss out of the British weather

            I'd run out* by this point so made a pot of tea and hit bed.

            * though it wasn't Stella

              Actually, isn't Zaire the Democractic republic of Congo now?
              That's what I thought. There was certainly some sort of Congo earlier on.

                  Beckham "driving" the boat reminded me of some pop video.

                  Can anyone remember the one I'm thinking of?
