Mostly pretentious pish, but these things tend to be, what else can they do.

They could have wheeled Jasper Carrot out to go through some rude 1980s adverts.

Duran Duran

They really need to shorten these ceremonies.

Three hours is arse-numbingly long.

What on earth is this bull business about?

He could have ridden around the track on his funky moped.

The athletes procession hasn't even started yet. We'll be here until mindnight.
