Surrey Phil 26 Jul 9:51pm, 26 Jul 2024 10,556 posts	0 Surrey Phil We had Mr Bean, so I was expecting to see Toulouse-Lautrec or Marcel Marceau. We had the Industrial Revolution, so I thought we'd get the French Revolution. I remember Beckham on the boat and I was seriously hoping that night that he would not be the one lighting the flame.
Surrey Phil 26 Jul 10:06pm, 26 Jul 2024 10,557 posts	0 Surrey Phil We all get to hear and watch something like Jean Michel Jarre while the boat crew are having their own mini-relay with the torch. What are the odds of torch remaining alight by the time it reaches the cauldron?
Ness 26 Jul 10:08pm, 26 Jul 2024 43,386 posts	0 Ness Small! That said. I've quite enjoyed the light show and some of the music. The opening ceremony has captured my interest for longer than I expected it to

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
