Thank Heavens for rain in the rank third world hell-hole that is France, it got plucky Brit Anna Henderson a Silver instead of a more likely bronze :)

Quote from: dom on May 28, 2022, 10:13:58 AMI went to see Top Gun in a cinema in France and thought it was a load of tripe. In hindsight I can see the filmography was stunning but at the time i couldn't get past the awful glorification of the US war machine. The Cold War was at its most frozen at the time so just who were they supposed to be fighting ?

I think they were supposed to be Libyans. Carrier-based F-14s had shot down two Libyan Su-22s in 1981 off the Libyan coast, and actually three years after the film came out, Navy F-14s splashed two Libyan MiG-23s over the Med.

I just hope France's failure with the opening ceremony doesn't carry over into the actual competition.

Awful, just awful - I gave up at 'T' when that vulgar fashion parade was going on. Also Czechia came out at letter 'N' - I've no idea?

Ye gods. The French have made a right dog's breakfast of the opening ceremony. Never seen such a vulgar, tacky spectacle in my life.
