Olympics closing ceremony on TV now.

[DJ Squelch]

Well here we go lets hope it's as spectacular as the opening ceremony, plus we have Beckham, Lewis & Page on a bus to look forward to.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

*wonders how much of it is taped this time*

 

[DotCommunist]

as spectacularly fake as the opening ceremony?

 

[Dillinger4]

David Beckham and Boris Johnson to represent Britain on the world stage.

I am so ashamed.

 

[Dillinger4]

Them soldiers look tough.

 

[Vintage Paw]

So, any word yet on whether there will be hoodies or not?

 

[Dillinger4]

They should get Rab C Nesbitt to represent us.

 

[DJ Squelch]

It's Tron 2

 

[dlx1]

Dillinger4.

David Beckham - going to kick a football wow

 

[London_Calling]

Do we know roughly what time the London segment is on?

 

[Wookey]

It's fucking brilliant.


'Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laserbeam
Guaranteed to blow your mind'

In a world racked with wars, hunger, inequality and pain, to be reminded that humans can create such incredible spectacle in the name of our commonality is very special indeed.

 

[Dillinger4]

Those lightwheels look like the IT off southpark.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Is boris goona be on the bus too? i can see him accidentally knocking over a firework which zooms off into the Chinese premier's box and burning the whole stadium down.

 

[marty21]

I'm liking those strange bikes

 

[twistedAM]

My TV just broke
At least it saw it's way through the Cycling Fest

 

[Dillinger4]

I'm liking those strange bikes

Powered by dildos, you know.

 

[Wookey]

My TV just broke

OMG!!

I suspect the show is more in the name of the Central Committee, and the performers are there becasue of various 'incentives', but go with it if you want.

I just hope to God Lodoners have more interesting things to do with one, or even two, year/s of their lives than to 'dedicate' themselves to making politicians look good.

 

[marty21]

i'd like to see the politicians taking part more in the olympic games - brown v obama in the cycling pursuit - obama won't like it up him

 

[DJ Squelch]

Hurrah, the return of the dancing girls in the white outfits, this time with waved coloured hankies.

 

[JTG]

I don't believe those kids are really playing the drums, there's some less pretty child doing it behind the scenes

 

[London_Calling]

I guess the BBC don't tell you when the London segment is due to appear in case you don't want to watch 3 entire hours of this guff, with some cliche driven, bland-me-to-death, Welsh newsdesk bore trying to blag his way through a voice over.

 

[Matt S]

Do they really need *two* fossilised suits to repeat each others speeches?

Matt

 

[dlx1]

getting boring need some fireworks & Techno

 

[Orang Utan]

Dull duller dullest

 

[Melinda]

Whoop!

 

[Matt S]

Dammit. When they started singing the second verse of the National Anthem, I thought they might sing the entire thing, and get to the 'crush the rebellious Scots' bit.

Spoilsports.

Matt

[DJ Squelch]

Here's Boris YAY

 

[JTG]

'Rebellious Scots to crush' isn't an official verse anymore Matt
