A mixture of good stuff with the oh dear lol.

Positives:
* The Church and Cat Empire.
* Aboriginal bit.
* Athletes entrance
* The stuff on the yarra - fireworks, fish and all the footballers looking worried about falling into the yarra.
* Delta and the rings of fire lol.

Negatives:
* Ch 9 getting mostly Sydney celebs to host the coverage of Melbourne's games ???
* First half an hour sent me to sleep. Like being at a school concert  :shh. At my place we must be the only Melbournians who has never heard of this boy and his duck story/poem  ???.
* Why since the Sydney Olympics does every opening ceremony now have some kid flying through the air  ???.
*  If you're gonna have people flying through the air you might make an effort to hide the cables from view  :rollin.
*  That kid's spiel for the Queen - "all of us see you as the glue that binds the Commonwealth ...". Okay I'm biased as I believe any monarchy is a load of garbage but for heaven's sake turn it up :chuck.

There was a pic in yesterday's Gold Coast Bulletin of distance runner Sonia O'Sullivan, who's Irish but will be competing for Australia, wearing a Richmond guernsey.

I've never heard of the boy and duck either.  Thought Delta was going to catch on fire.  She looked fabulous though.

The duck sucked. Actually I was hoping the live duck would bite the kid just to give us some excitement

How many members of the Webster family can there be left  :scream :help ;D - at least he didn't sing

I don't mind Queen Bessy - she certainly didn't seem to upset that we didn't sing "God Save the Queen" - maybe some of our pollies could take some lesson from her on that one ;D ...............and I actually thought Dame Kiri was the highlight...

Had to laugh when the Kiwi's entered the areana and Johnnie H started clapping - startled the Queen it seems perhaps he woke her up because she was probably as bored as the rest of us

I like that Leila chick from the 9 morning news.
I believe she would be a dirty,dirty girl :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :cheers

I've heard eyewitness reports from parties that she is quite the dirty one, although this was before she was a married woman.

Ran the Lake today and when i got to the old Carousel/Robs Restraunt,i wasnt allowed to run around the front along the water.
About 30 coppers,Pirahna task force boys and and uniformed standing the door.

I was thinking WTF is going on here?

I think Condaleeza Rice was in there.

Should of called her a murderer but i would have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

LMAOO@The Lake and it's political agenda

Watched the games tonight on tv for the 100m sprint but stayed on for the 5000m. Sheesh 5 km in under 13 minutes  :gobdrop.

Even when I was fit aeons ago lol I'd be lucky to do a lap around Princes Park (about 3 km or just over) in that time and would be dead on the ground afterwards :P. The Kenyan guy who won was jumping up and down and running around like it was nothing afterwards :help.
