Just watching the build up to the Opening and, lordy me, it's all a bit cringy. Speaking as a Brummie, we don't do this.
And, as much as I love Lenny, why is he there? We do have comedians in Brum that actually are Brummie. And don't do that bad accent cos they actually speak Brummie.
I don't know. I'm being picky. The BBC either forget we exist or try far too hard. We shall see how the Opening goes.

Well I'm glad the pre-show chat is over. I liked the cars. Not sure about the steam punk bit. Bull is great.

Why are we having interviews? I'm sure the athletes would prefer to be with their team, soaking it all in.

Well there's Joe lycett being controversial. I'm not sure about the sarkey commentary or the naff jokes but still enjoying seeing all the different countries coming in.

Bless him - hoping to make headlines. But with the racial history of Birmingham very much to the fore tonight his comment sort of fell flat. IMO.
Loved the bull! Brilliant - in fact the whole staging has been incredible.
I do wish the interviewers could find another question rather than "how do you feel?"

Love it when a tiny country comes in with their lawn bowling team - just fantastic, imagine how excited you would be
