[ZenGiraffe]

Hope they do To Zanarkand next, then a Kingdom hearts medley

REAL EMOTION PLEASE

 

[Madíson]

Looks like the majority of athletes aren’t attending.

 

[Diddy]

Ugh making that heart gesture while holding your phone, how déclassé

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This is a fun game.

Victory Theme - Final Fantasy

 

[Diddy]

Sepiroth theme for Azerbaijan

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I feel at a disadvantage clearly being about 2 minutes behind @Diddy

 

[Diddy]

[Diddy]

How far behind are you, Algeria just arrived

 

[ZenGiraffe]

[ZenGiraffe]

Can't clock what this new track is.

 

[Lee]

Is that the final fantasy victory theme? Omg

@COB better be watching

Yes! I noticed it immediately!

 

[Diddy]

God I really hate everyone holding their phones up

 

[Madíson]

I hope the two flag-bearer idea is dropped for 2024.

 

[Diddy]

Did I start my sync watch too early?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I hope the two flag-bearer idea is dropped for 2024.

I thought it was going to be two people with their own flag, not the awkward two people holding one flag

 

[Diddy]

I hope the two flag-bearer idea is dropped for 2024.

yeah the Aruba one just looked awkward

 

[win_the_game]

I thought it was going to be two people with their own flag, not the awkward two people holding one flag

It’s not really working is it!

 

[Diddy]

Well the music is good anyway, thank god, this is THE ultimate flag parade

 

[win_the_game]

Love this regal Angolan Queen.

 

[Diddy]

I like Antigua & Barbuda’s ties

 

[Diddy]

Who’s after Andorra? Why, Yemen of course

 

[ZenGiraffe]

OH MY FUCK

Olympus Colosseum music!

 

[Diddy]

Wtf are these aerobics pensioners wearing?

 

[Lee]

@Diddy you’re about 5 minutes ahead of me

 

[Diddy]

Were there more representatives from Andorra than Iraq?!

 

[Diddy]

@Diddy you’re about 5 minutes ahead of me

I would say I won’t spoil anything interesting that’s going to happen, but I don’t imagine that’s a big risk

 

[Madíson]

Is Diddy really ahead? India have just entered for me.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I am on iplayer so I'm definitely going to be behind, just seeing Iran

 

[Diddy]

Uganda trying to make a moment, that’s no Haka

they found that Ugandan weightlifter who escaped his hotel to live here

 

[Diddy]

Is Diddy really ahead? India have just entered for me.

[Madíson]

(Liechtenstein is the answer to the BBC’s riddle)

[Diddy]

Actually I don’t know why we haven’t come on yet, they’ve done the イs!

 

[Lee]

[ZenGiraffe]

Is that for UK or GB?

 

[Diddy]

Oh we are under a different name

so they aren’t all the athletes? There must have only been about 30

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I have always though it a bit weird that it's GB not UK. Poor NI.
