Opening ceremony is on. So far, boring as batshit.

FREE TIBET of the batshits.

First country - Greece - has entered the stadium. Aust is the 3rd last nation so we won't see them for about 3 hours.

by PeterCS Fri 08 Aug 2008, 14:17

Zoztralia?

by Paul Keating Fri 08 Aug 2008, 14:27

I disagree, I thought the Opening Ceremony was pretty good.

Yes some parts were boring, but on the whole I enjoyed it.

Has the 'Uber Sporting Facist State of Australia' appeared yet?

She's waving her fan about a lot.

They were talking about air quality over there on TV the other day and compared it to London.
London was 35 and in Beijing it was 380.
No idea what the count was for, but what a difference?!

I saw Anne, she was a mite shiny. Still, her bun was beautifully coiffed.

by Guest Fri 08 Aug 2008, 15:43

Did you ever see this?

French pleat, isn't it?

The Chinese alphabetical order is weird.

by Yorkie Jill Fri 08 Aug 2008, 15:51

Was it? I'm watching the bbc feed, I couldn't rightly tell. Either way, it looked neat.

Dem - which part of the show is that? I don't have sound on my pc. Likely I have seen it though.

by Yorkie Jill Fri 08 Aug 2008, 15:53

it's how many strokes per chinese character it takes to write each country's name, so the fewest strokes were first. It's still odd though. I'm not seeing any patterns with letters, length, anything.

by eowyn Fri 08 Aug 2008, 15:55

Jill, I'm watching the Beeb too, I just not sure it's a bun. It could be chignon though and then we'd both be wrong.

by Yorkie Jill Fri 08 Aug 2008, 15:58

hmm. i just can't tell. is it tucked under the rest of her hair? it's quite poufy on top, as usual, but she sometimes wears pleats or other funky royal things.

Ahh, interesting. I will endevour to look for patturns now. I take it Australia comes near the end because the chinese for Australia, goes something like, "hot, red country, populated by marsupials, brown men and white ex-criminals".

It's hard to tell, it could be she's doing funky royal but like you say she's not a hair out of place, the hair lacquar must be top notch, it's probably Elnet.
