Closing Ceremony/Handover to L.A. 2028

[skyscraper101]

This is weird. Can’t we get Jean Michele Jarre out already?

Lol, I've already mentioned him to Mrs SI

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I was outvoted so we've just watched Twister rather than this.

What have I missed, why is Assassin's Creed back, who is the gold person? Where's Tom Cruise?

 

[Lord Camomile]

[maomao]

Why are the audience clapping? Did someone start handing out refunds?

 

[A380]

I like the shadow figures on the stands

You were outvoted right, most interesting thing that happened while you were away was several athletes, at different moments tripping on the same bit of flooring.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Wtf is that headless statue??!

 

[A380]

Tom ?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Love the talk of what aliens would make of us judged by that gold record. "Weird. No pubes. No obvious hits on this album, either"

 

[A380]

Wtf is that headless statue??!

Nike apparently. Godess of ok trainers

 

[brogdale]

I can't make head nor tail of this; might be an early night...

 

[Boo Radley75]

Wtf is that headless statue??!

Marie Antoinette, maybe?

Nothing.

 

[Aaronf]

Love it when it's a grand spectacle of characters and action, dramatic music and performances, Andrew Cotter & Hazel Irvine explaining what it is... and you still don't have a clue what's going on

 

[souljacker]

This has gone on far too long

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I feel sorry for the gold person. I've been on stage when the director has said "just act like you're orchestrating things" and I've thought "What?" then hopped around the stage pointing and wafting my arms to show I'm DOING SOMETHING!!

 

[A380]

 

[magneze]

Vertical piano is quite good.

 

[Aaronf]

In the alternative world I moved to some years ago, this is Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma 🗣

 

[souljacker]

Piano thankfully not caught fire like in the opening ceremony.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So they've basically rolled out existentialism and ennui to mourn the closing of the Games?

Cannot wait to see what the US add to this with their section...

 

[Boo Radley75]

Vertical piano is quite good.

He does seem to run into a bit of bother rewinding his old cassettes with a pencil, though

 

[quiet guy]

Its all a bit high brow. Not a patch on London 2012

 

[Wookey]

I like it.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

It took us ages to work out that Vertical Piano Man is a jellyfish.

Now we just need to work out why there's a big fucking jellyfish.

 

[quimcunx]

This is terrible. I'd almost welcome Boris on a fucking zipwire at this stage.

 

[A380]

You’d be pissed off if you brought a colour TV specially for the Olympics…

 

[Lord Camomile]

So is this what French moving companies look like? They'd have charged extra for that piano, that's for sure.

 

[A380]

Presumably they are going to bring the Olympics rings together and they will all strip off to reveal the colours?
