Did I forget to watch the opening ceremony last night? Damn, and I was actually going to make the effort to watch this one.

Oh well, maybe in four years time.

They must have put an east german in charge of the uniform selection - the uniform will be efficient and cost effective

Ah, I was thinking it was on last night.

You'd think they could have planned to happen during peak viewing time in Australia. Very badly organised.

Time for a republic!!

Shame Margaret is dead. She could have just flicked a ciggy butt into the cauldron to light it.

I screeched when the Queen jumped out of the helicopter. The James Bond thing could have been played out much better.

Only about an hour in and its awesome.

I reckon Australia kick started the over the top extravaganza and mostly just keeps getter better each 4 years.

The rings looked amazing as well.
