Closing Ceremony/Handover to L.A. 2028

[gosub]

The end of another great edition of the Olympic Games where we saw plenty of great events. Players had some concerns with the facilities but as a spectator, I don't have any complaints from the event. I expect the LA Olympic Games to be even more special.

or cancelled

 

[Dr. Furface]

Glad I tuned in just in time to see Zaho de Sagazan. If you were thinking 'who she?' then check out her album from last year, La Symphonie des Eclairs which is fab and probably not what you might expect if you've just seen her.

Canada have had some nice uniforms over the years sadly, this Olympics it's head and shoulders the worst one.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Once again, the seats in that stadium for this auspicious occasion are seriously uncomfortable.

And then GB walked out.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Brits doing a good impression of "the train's been delayed, but no-one's quite sure if it's cancelled yet">

 

[magneze]

I’m not the patriotic type at all, and give even less of a shit about reverence towards national anthems, but I still thought that classical music orchestra rendition of Le Marseillaise was clas.

Really? Great national anthem ruined imho. Where was the raucous singing?

 

[magneze]

This is a bit like the queue for the queen so far.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That giant gold medal seems to be separating Europe and Africa...

 

[gosub]

And then GB walked out.

Pretty much all their kit has had a Withnailesque 'We're not from GB!' about it. It is France though, so fair enough

 

[Lord Camomile]

Les Champs Elysees sort of became France's 'Sweet Caroline', and I have to say I prefer it a lot.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeeaaah, here we go!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, something's gone wonky with the audio, it's somehow out of sync with itself??

 

[magneze]

Seems to be some Daleks there too.

 

[Petcha]

This is beyond cringe

 

[weepiper]

God this audio is a bit of a sensory nightmare.

 

[T & P]

I reckon the Olympic Village is going to see more drinking and shagging tonight than Magaluf sees in a month.

Checkout was at 10am

 

[Boo Radley75]

Over an hour this has been going now and nothings really happened yet.

 

[brogdale]

Is anything actually going to happen?

 

[brogdale]

And we thought that Looooonnnnnnggggggggggg horse was bad enough

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, I never knew the golden record on Voyage was made in France. I just assumed it was a NASA thing.

 

[T & P]

Is anything actually going to happen?

Not that I remember anything about previous Olympic closing ceremonies, but surely nothing much happens in any of them?

 

[Lord Camomile]

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, I think they're always a bit meh.

Don't think much of this French remake of Dr. Who, for example.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, wait, no, it might be War of the Worlds.

Which would be a bold choice in this context.

 

[brogdale]

Can see the strings

 

[A380]

Is that a kind of fabulous predator?

 

[brogdale]

Nope, me neither

 

[Steel Icarus]

This gold cunt better be Snoop or I'm asking for my money back
