    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...)

    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!

    I'm just watching this whole circus out of curiosity. I have bad vibe about this, but I wonder if it's because of the conspiracy theories?
