    It all feels a bit flat with no crowd noise.

    It's quite appalling...the Can Can looked like 100 amateur dancers who had never seen it done before.

    I did wonder if they’d won a competition but the Antoinette bit was good.

    Bring on Pepe le pew, the smelly skunk. :D

    I've never enjoyed these sort of tournament ceremonies, apart from London 2012.

    Actua
    Actually the French aren't usually too bad on water; I once saw their military build a pontoon bridge across the Rhone in next to no time during a Bastille Day celebration. :cool:

    I went on an organised trip to see the French Navy ........ we were on a glass-bottomed boat.

    The boats are good but if they sink that would be insane.

    Why would they though? And it’s only the river with tons of people all around them, it’s not like they’re alone at sea.

    We looked right miserable with our ponchos, we should embrace the rain like Italy and Jamaica!

    Did I just see loads of graffiti in the background or was it supposed to be some kind of art?
