Opening Ceremony

OK, that was GREAT and I stayed up far too late watching it. I had heard a rumor that Mary Poppins would abseil in to defeat Lord Voldemort, but did not in a million years think it would actually happen, and in the midst of a huge tribute to the NHS as well. Sadly, the Queen did not actually come by parachute with James Bond, but you can't have everything.

Is it true that the rest of the world just watched on in increasing confusion?

I loved every last bit of it! Even Macca doing Hey Jude which at first bordered on vicarious embarrassment, but it was all good in the end.

I squealed at Voldy, and before that, JKR/Peter Pan had made me so fangirly happy&tearful I can't even begin on it. Loved the whole Industrial revolution section and especially the NHS/children's hospital part, and all the awesome iconic pop/rock music, like 'Heroes' playing when Great Britain marched in. And 007 and Her Majesty! Too much great stuff to mention. :)

His voice has just gone. It's sad, but someone should go ahead and tell him.

Yes, the music was great throughout, and there was so much energy!
