I'm usually a huge sceptic of these things but this has been superb.

We are having a family get together with food and beer and all watching the ceremony.
Only downside so far for me is firstly, everything is being announced in french before English which to me is just plain ignorant (although Olympic etiquette) and secondly the new mini is not British

No interest.
Guess this govenment will use it as their Falklands. That is no disrespect to those involved in the conflict. But we all know why "That Woman did it".

Very impressed with it though.

I must have been watching something else on TV, what a load of utter garbage. 27 Million for that, someone has been smoking to much of that funny stuff.

Proud to be British... damn right!
27 million? We spend a hell of a lot more on foreign aid so personally its a bargain!!!!
We will recoup a far lot more, yes its mad but thats the way of the world unfortunately

To put the cost into perspective its less than Liverpool paid for Andy Carroll lol
Expected that to be embarassing but thought it was mainly brilliant, especially the lighting of the Cauldron

Very proud to be British tonight, thought it represented history well up to this day and age. Very well done all involved.
It may of cost £27m but its things like this that get the country proud again and hopefully the kick up the backside thats needed. If it makes more than we spend then bonus.

OI, dont bring Mr Carroll into it
Must admit that I got a bit dewy eyed when Muhammad Ali held the Olympic flag.
All in all I thought it was a superb show, although the athletes entrance dragged on a bit.
Some good tunes too, although Paul McCartney should hang up his mike.
Pretty proud right now.
