Irish presenter "this is a long enough avenue"

Can’t believe people in this thread were impressed by the horse sequence

To be fair, it was a very low bar.

Who are they even waving at come on now

They are waving for help!!

Shoulda just had the boats with the athletes, the blue Smurf man and the last ten mins and called it a night to be honest!

Thanks for the company - some of the comments have been flipping hilarious!

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

The surfers must be feeling so smug right now.

They don't appear to have given the commentators any details of what's happening either. Usually they know who's who and what's the symbolism of what's going on. Now they don't even know where the torch is going.

We’re actually just watching a really elaborate robbery of the Olympic torch

This dancer sign language guy is the main distraction

 

[Merpedy]

To think this started in daylight

 

[veronica71]

Just discovered this thread and the pages of posts commenting on the opening ceremony as it happened is some of the funniest stuff I've read in ages

People moan that social media etc is ruining society ( ) but on big events like that places like Tattle and Twitter just add to the fun - love it <3

We hope it will remain tethered there great trust commentators

Andrew Cotter's extremely diplomatic way of saying "we've had no fucking clue what's going on"

 

[Delia Smith]

The Beeb clearly thought Adam would be a dead cert for the Gold they’ve given all this pre and post race build up

Who said that logo looks like Mary J Blige. That's all I can see now.

Could do but the idea is that you have to pace yourself across the three sections, not have a rest in the middle lol

Wouldn't you be so annoyed if the swim was your strong event. It's really unfair.

 

[kev1974]

making that poor old wheelchair dude sit shivering in the rain. shameful.

 

[Ultimate Lurkee]

The ability to become an armchair expert in 5minutee about sports I've never watched is my Olympic sport.

I'm an excellent armchair expert, I do feel really old when they go on about the age of the athletes and say its basically their last chance to achieve anything and they're like 22

sweet dreams tattlers, here’s a little image for you to think of before you drift off:

Spare a thought for the people behind Papa Smurf....they will have seen all his Olympic Rings! 🫣🫣

He will definitely be representing France in next year's eurovision!

How does Clare Balding manage to shoehorn herself into everything - racing,
Wimbledon, Crufts, rugby, Trooping the Colour, Queen’s Jubilee, Googlebox, etc.
She will be presenting Strictly next.

Unexpected item in the bagging area!

 

[Moot22]

I can’t watch another person dance. I just can’t.
