    Default symbology in the olympic opening ceremony

    Well folks apart from the obvious capped pyramids in the Olympic ceremony what other symbology did you see in this somewhat strange ceremony.

    I'll kick things off with the 7 pillars rising from the ground.

    Well from watching it on TV, the Queen does not look like the Queen at all to me, the NHS gets a big platform and ends with lots of children in bed - sick children - current UK news about flu vaccinations for kids ?? - but I think the positive energy will bring it around. Boyle is cleve from my past experience .
    Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!

    I think it will come around COlin as people value what the NHS should be about. I speak as having a retired nurse as a boy friend ! But change has to happen.

    But when you're playing a different game with hidden rules to the rest of us plebs, acknowledging the minions is just wasted energy... I bet their like wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire (unless it happened to please one of their sun Gods obviously...)

    Oh, We missed it? My guide shows the opening ceremony coming on at 6:30 central time on channel 5/NBC5.

    We just need to KEEP THE HEAT on them. We just need more people following this group and we can use resources from the Tea Party, Occupy and other groups. THEY win as long as they can keep us arguing with each other. WE need to come together with people we wouldn't normally work with to bring these BANK and POLITICAL criminals DOWN!

    I only watched a few minutes but the music I heard played was Enola Gay by OMD.



    Enola Gay was the plane which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.


    I have turned the TV off !

    I watched 2 minutes of it, that was enough for me...

    I find it curious that the same old "same olds" seem to be the "entertainment" when "her Maj" is in town - Mr Bean, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney etc etc.......

    A very quick cut of the Sex Pistols song at the start. "God save the Queen........"
    The following line "and her fascist regime" was quickly dubbed out. No wonder Betty looked so miffed!
