Well, I know there's a lot of bitching mixed in with praise and pride on Twitter, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was funny, touching and quite dark in places. It was probably just about as opposite to the Chinese ceremony as could be.

They haven't, yet.
Oh, I heard them mention them but missed the next sentence Thought they would have said.
I can't wait to see what Curio has arranged for the Cottage III. That was a high, high, bar to set.

I have to confess, when the Queen sat down I said "What the fuck is Rowan Atkinson doing sat behind her?". I'm an ecumenical question.
Look up Rowen Atkinson Indian Waiter on YouTube.

The wine-tasting. France usually does well on this.
Nah, I'd be in the British team.

They're the two people everyone in the world is likely to recognise.

I'll do it after this.
I think they just said the copper pots are petals.

You have to spit the wine out when you're wine tasting.
This ceremony has genuinely made me feel patriotic for the first time in my life. I think it's because of the tangible stuff like music, rather than some jubilee bollocks.

I sincerely hope you're joking, Kern...
Seriously, though, what the fecking feck is the Archbishop of Canterbury doing getting that sort of seat?

Shut up, Joans.
That's a point, actually - given that Vatican City is technically a country, sort of, do they send some competitors in? The 500m choirboy steeplechase must be a shoe-in for them.

Think how awesome the Vatican Games would be! Ladies' beach volleyball in St Peter's.... The hurdles in St Peter's... oh, the possibilities.

I assumed that was on purpose, seeing as he got a lift in a mini in the beach clip.

That wasn't a mini! It was a 1940s car.
She's using an iPhone!
Christ, look at the chins on the canucks. Maybe Perkies isn't such a mutant afterall...
Oh my. Canada has some real talent.
I think Atkinson is a genius of comedy. In his writing he can craft a sentence with the most precise and well balanced comedy cadence. His pronunciation and vocal delivery are just as precise and his physical expression is amazingly adaptable.
I could just watch him say the word 'Bob' and crack up.

An Olympic opening event would be a great scenario for L4D2.

Ditto. Mrs K loves him to bits, too. She's a bit weird though - her top two sleb crushes are Rowan Atkinson and early Hugh Laurie.
Nice to see Chile walk out to Pet Shop Boys. Very apt.

No, he's awful. He just pulls faces! It's not my kind of humour!!!

Chilean Archery Flag Bearing lass was a bit lovely.

And imagined his face when he did it.
Wasn't "bob" a punchline in Blackadder Goes Forth?

She must have gushed buckets when she saw your rubbery mush.

Mr Bean or Rowan Atkinson?
I'm surprised no athletes have committed suicide after being forced to listen to West End Girls for that long.
I love it when they have absolutely nothing sports related to say about a country so they just turn to geographic and political facts. As just demonstrated by the Cook Islands.
I bet you'd gush buckets if you could find someone to play Left 4 Dead with you.
Yay! Critical mass ran a protest outside the stadium and they're in a kettle.
BTW, did anyone else notice Huw I'm Having A Stroke Edwards couldn't pronounce Isambard Brunel properly?

Yes, pity they didn't mention the human rights abuses when Bahrain came out.
