In the past we always watched the Opening Ceremony from home, with our 55cm TV LOL.
This time I thought I'd like to watch it from a really really big screen, maybe something outdoor like in a park, something like a 3m screen! But seeing that it will start around 4am, I accept maybe it needs to be indoor, like a Pub?
We are based in Brisbane Southside so it's a lucky dip if there is anyone here can shed some light.
Thanking you!!
Maybe you should buy a bigger TV?
Projector?
Need a bigger house with a big media room….
You would be surprised what size screen you can achieve in a small room these days. But that is a rabbit hole in and of itself. Perhaps outside the scope of the Paris games.
can someone call me once the whole thing is finished
That will be me in 2032 when Brisbane becomes a laughing stock.
hopefully it will be cancelled before that
Why do you not want Brisbane or Australia to not host the Olympics?
@Nillionaire: I can think of better things to spend billions on - which will blow out like things always do : EG: the comm games in melbourne did.. and it doesn't interest me in the slightest…
I also don't believe the standard script of 'it will bring in yillions' like they sprout with F1 yearly
YMMV
@schquid: Yes jobs are good but its short term jobs. The cost to a state to create short term jobs doesnt add up.
If however another 10,000 apprenticeships in trades were created it would be fantastic.
But that occurs less these days as a lot of employers feel they are wasting their time training people just to lose them.
Its one reason we have a skills shortage now.
My son wants to get a apprenticeship next year but in our small town and neighbouring towns we can see the competition will be fierce for those few positions.
@2esc: Agree it would be nice.. But TAFE couldnt handle 10,000 apprentices.. probably couldnt handle 2500…
And I know that small town issue… if your parents arent connected either you stand little chance from those who are.. I tried for years back when I left school… kept getting out done by those with connected parents.
@Nillionaire: Why did Victoria cancel the commonwealth games?

My son is in training with the goal of 2032 for Australia. I can assure you that your insulting words will not be the case.
Even now, in 2024, kids are working the asses off to be in with a shot.
Wow, welldone.
Good luck to them!
On another hand, just saw the Video with the Motto "Shine Brightest, Together!"
Oh I cringed!
usually casino will have it on
brisvegas should have plenty of places to watch it
Check out Pig & Whistle in the city. They also showed the soccer world cup.
sit closer to your 55cm

How can Paris outdo them?
I watched first 15 minutes had to turn the crap off.
Ha, its not very nice i agree, with all the rain and the weird stuff. Rather dreadful.
Luckily i had my ipad and mobile with me,but dozed off after 2hrs.
The bit with Mary Antoinette where Gojira played was awesome and unexpected. If you're not a metalhead it may not have appealed to you.
The woke stuff was awful and boring. How could they get it so right and yet so wrong?
First casualty?
C Spire:
"We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics.
C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics."
Yeah it seems quite bizzare that they would want to mock the last supper. A large portion of the world's population are Christians and Paris has just given them all the middle finger. What an odd choice.
Not sure if any of the QLD lives sites will have it
