So who's watching the Closing Ceremony then?

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I am

I'm such a sucker for opening/closing ceremonies

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Never knew about this special award

Paralympic Games: Ireland’s Michael McKillop has been named as one of the two winners of the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award, which recognises the athletes who exemplified the best spirit of the Paralympic Games.McKillop, who lit up the Olympic Stadium in London with gold-medal winning races in the 800m and 1,500m T37 events, consistently dedicates time to helping and encouraging thousands of school children throughout Ireland. He believes all Paralympians should help promote their own sports and serve as role models for the next generation.

McKillop and Kenya's Mary Nakhumicha Zakayo will receive a gold medal at Sunday’s closing ceremony, which will be presented by International Paralympic Committee vice president Greg Hartung and Dr Whang Youn Dai.

Yep. liking the mutant mad max style stuff.

And again. Just like the able-bodied Olympics, they fuck it up in the closing ceremony.

Coldplay AND 'war heroes'

 

[DJ Squelch]

And again. Just like the able-bodied Olympics, they fuck it up in the closing ceremony.

Coldplay AND 'war heroes'

It's the same bloke directing them both.

 

[magneze]

Good so far. Don't write it off yet eh?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yep. liking the mutant mad max style stuff.

Was exactly my first thought. I was thinking Mel Gibson was going to turn up

Yeah, and I wanted to see the athletes come on

 

[OneStrike]

Burn the fucker!!

 

[magneze]

So far they've canned the boring bits. The athletes are there, the flags have been waved for a bit. Now just burning stuff.

 

[DJ Squelch]

WANT a neon flamethrower

love the Mutoid Waste stuff.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The vehicles are great

 

[gabi]

It's the same bloke directing them both.

Oh fuck yeah. I just heard Krishnan say that the director was told 'not to have any theme'

oh dear. this is terrible. just awful.

 

[gabi]

Coldplay. Steampunked

 

[scifisam]

I have not a single clue what is going on here. It's kinda interesting though.

The only bad bit so far has been the very sweet-looking woman who failed to sing the national anthem.

 

[gabi]

fuck off mad max

 

[toblerone3]

Its a bit of a mess right now, but maybe it will come together.

 

[gabi]

Its a bit of a mess right now, but maybe it will come together.

Did you see his other closing ceremony? Kaiser chiefs covering the who, followed by.... the who.... oh and then ed sheeran covering floyd.

and then some more jessie j. and then some more jessie j. whoever this director is must have sucked a lot of cock to get where he is.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well this song is boring. Time to go and get some grub

Are all their songs as boring?

Maybe Rihanna will liven things up if the rumours are true

 

[Greebo]

Burn the fucker!!

Who, Gideon?

 

[scifisam]

Are they just doing a whole Coldplay concert or something? How depressing. Where's the joyful music for the most successful Paralympics ever? And why can't Chris Martin sing?

 

[OneStrike]

Who, Gideon?

If i'd been allowed full directorial control

 

[magneze]

Enough Coldplay now thanks.

I'm hoping for Public Enemy doing the C4 theme live.

 

[editor]

Coldplay's "street" piano. Ya.

 

[editor]

"Look out for the snow queen" says the commentator.

Get Coldplay to shut the fuck up and let it be Kate Bush please.

Then all is forgiven.

 

[Firky]

Not after the last one.

 

[scifisam]

Will Coldpay ever stop?

 

[Firky]

I really hate Coldplay too, in quite a militant way so there's no fucking chance

 

[magneze]

2 more seasons of this I guess.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Snow Queen = Rihanna?

Maybe not
