[teapot]

Shall we try and name them all?

That girl cycling in front of Italy, her smile says it all "another 100 to go...'

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

You can, I'm done. Night all, happy viewing. X

 

[numptynoelle]

Shall we try and name them all?

No.

Just no.

 

[teapot]

China and New Zealand are two of them

Sweden, Brazil,

 

[numptynoelle]

Think we've had China - weren't they in yellow?

Portugal, and Venuzuela?

 

[numptynoelle]

Ok, I've now cheated and peeked at this list: http://qz.com/750583/this-is-the-or...rch-in-during-the-olympic-opening-ceremonies/

Loads to go....

 

[teapot]

I must have gone to get food during China

 

[teapot]

We should have played Olympic bingo with gin shots

 

[numptynoelle]

Damn. We should have been more prepared! Let's do that for the closing ceremony, or maybe the Paralympics? :wink3:

 

[teapot]

Country you've never heard of? Shot
Mention of winner of most medals? Shot
Team GB stuff up? Shot

etc etc

 

[numptynoelle]

That sounds like a plan (and rather dangerous)!

I'm fading fast, so I'm afraid I'm leaving your on your tod - I'll expect a full report of the last 100 or so minutes left :tongue3:

Shiny things are back and open to produce the Olympics rings as trees :biggrin3:

 

[teapot]

Speech, a long speech, welcomes world to Brazil, usual Olympic stuff
