After a stirring rendition of DANNY BOY (or as Pigsnit cynically remarked DANNY BOYle), unwashed serfs come to tear up the Fields So Green becuz now comes ... THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION! You know, when we Brits threw our poops out of windows and everyone walked about, smelling like a clogged toilet. We also had lots of chimineys and unemployed soldiers wid only one arm. Meanwhiles, their ragged wives baked 2 grams of bread a day to share amongst 15 offspring. Frankly, I think this Olympic Ceremony would be so much better if Id designed this part meself.
Oh, Kenneth Branagh just finished some crap from THE TEMPEST or something.

WHut follows now is an Unholy Mess, full of World War I, sufragettes, the Pearly People, and the Beatles or a close facsimile thereof! Some viewers may find this charming but I dont. I think it sucks. Theres also some bell ringing or whatever. Anyhoo, whut this place needs is some dancing star people wearing light bulbs and signing the Magna Carta! And wheres Robin Hood?

I haf no idea whut to say about the tribute to the National Health Service. It has
To be seen to be believed, methinks. Although I am still miffed that the maternity nursies didn’t call the GUARDIAN about my heroic driving through London traffic to save Basil’s pantyless mama.
Its hard to blog now. Too loud. After the NHS weirdo, there wuz something about British villains and now its Mr Bean.

After Mr Bean (and I didnt like him a whole lot), there wuz a whole slew of musical tributes to the 60s, 70s, 80s, whutever. BOOORRRRRIING. And then theres Beckham carrying the torch on a speedboat, big wooop. Speaking of BIG, did I forgets to mention the Giant Wire Baby that wux part of the HEalth Service thingie? BIZARROO! Boyle must haf been on crack when he thought of that.
Now is the Super Boring Parade of Nations, which I only watch to see for the teeny countries so I can CHeer Most Loud for them.
