#297518 - Fri Feb 24 2006 08:56 AM Olympic Ceremonies
PurpleFan Multiloquent Registered: Fri Oct 22 1999 Posts: 2249 Loc: New Westminster BC Canada	As the closing Ceremonies are on Sunday evening I am wondering if anyone will be watching them? The reason I am asking is Vancouver will be the Host for the 2010 games and it will be the First ever in the History of the Olympics to have a Quadriplegic Mayor receive the flag. I would like to hear what you thought of the Canadian Presentation. I shall be glued to my set and waving my flag.And probably shedding a few tears of Pride.

Honestly, I don't mind staying up all night to watch these kind of events _________________________ [color:"red"] 'Liverpool - Pride of Merseyside' [/color]

It is being shown here at 6.45pm and we are some hours ahead of you. It clashes with a couple of programmes that I like to watch and as I haven't watched any of the events I might give it a miss, or just watch parts of it - not decided. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	There was an all night black out last night, combined with a screaming child (it's so dark, Mummy!) at 3am meant I missed all of it. I'm sure there will be plenty of highlights shown later.

I like the part where they were extinguishing the Olympic flame. One minute the cameras were focused on the brides, they next minute the flame was out.

PurpleFan Multiloquent Registered: Fri Oct 22 1999 Posts: 2249 Loc: New Westminster BC Canada	I got to watch it very early and I proudly admit I shed a few tears when the Mayor accepted the flag. The whole ceremony was awesome. Canada's part in it was short but made me proud to be a Canadian. So COME PLAY WITH US in 2010! PF _________________________ All Things Purple Are Relative!
