Posting from the bathroom?

 

Reminds me of a colleague of mine a while back, during the 'daily start'. It was his turn to say what he was planning to do that day, but his camera was off and he was muted. After some seconds of waiting, suddenly his voice appeared:

 

  Hide contents

"Oh sorry, I'm taking a dump."

 

No never, have I posted/texted while in the bathroom.

Insufferably long speeches. At this point, I have no doubt this man believes he is the master of the universe.

[Vic Liu 1,701]

Even longer than the show.

He is obviously expecting thunderous applause & cheering, but complete silence instead.

What do you expect? Of course an official opening has speeches. We were here for the parade of nations anyway.

As expected, i missed first 75 minutes. 

Strange ceremony, but good memories from previous games are still strong.

Olympics are probably one of the best things than mankind invented.

I count about 80 infections and rising during Bach's speech alone. 

Luckily for the people around Bach, stupidity is not infectious.
