When you've ridden to the Opening Ceremony in
a helicopter with James Bond , watching 500
athletes march into a stadium just can't
compare.
Queen Elizabeth, who appeared in an amusing
short film with actor Daniel Craig during the
kickoff to the London Games, wasn't too
impressed with Team Great Britain on Friday
night. As 80,000 fans roared at the arrival of the
nation's athletes into Olympic Stadium, the
Queen was shown on television intently picking
her nails, seemingly oblivious to the
pandemonium around her.

Earlier in the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth and
James Bond were shown taking a helicopter away
from Buckingham Palace. Director Danny Boyle
filmed the scene in March. It culminated with a
live shot of two stuntpeople dressed as the Queen
and Bond parachuting out of the helicopter into
Olympic Stadium.
All that adrenaline must have taken its toll on the
86-year-old monarch. Displaying her usual
stoicism, the Queen couldn't have been less
interested in the Great Britain delegation
marching in last during the parade of nations.
The pool television feed cut to her for three
seconds as the team walked on.

The moment created a massive buzz on Twitter
after it was broadcast live during the BBC's
telecast of the Ceremony. A small sampling of the
tweets:
The Queen not caring about athletes marching?
Not surprising. The Queen picking her nails in
public? That's the stunner here. That's an action
not befitting royalty. It's downright plebeian.
What was she doing when the camerawasn'ton
her: Sipping on a Budweiser and burping? If Kate
Middleton picked her nails on camera, she'd get
the Anne Boleyn treatment!

She be human being na.

I beg go find better thing talk about. Haba she's human for crying out loud.

Seems to me the queen is not caught up with the excitement and probably rather wants to be at home with are dogs.
