Could've had the decency to turn up on time. I'd have made them sit outside.

[Niall]

West End Girls oh my God I adore this song :lovedup:

[Jayson]

China look like they're embarrassed about how **** their ceremony was in comparison to ours.

[Harry!]

This part may be dull but it is great for children learning the countries of the world.

[Lee.]

That's a tall Chinese chap!

[Braden]

I would love to just dress up in one of the tracksuits and walk with them, don't actually care what country.

[Jayson]

That's a tall Chinese chap!

Yao Ming was even taller, 7 ft 4 iirc

[Shaun]

Cuba's blazers :love:

Becks will light the cauldron. He'll use Victoria as a splint.

[Braden]

The Indian holding the flag was alright wasn't he

[Shaun]

[Marc]

I think the Independent Olympic Athletes were thrown out of their countries because they are mental.

[Marc]
