The Closing Ceremony

[youngian]

Stop this awful song!

They must of left Leona Lewis in Bejing

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

SAMBA!!

Dancing street sweeper! He's going to sweep all those newspapers up

 

[Lord Camomile]

Best bit so far, been studying up on my flags

 

[Badger Kitten]

Never have I been so relieved to see a bunch of random flags.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Seriously, who was that black girl with the jerry lee lewis hairdo?

Also, who signed her and where can i find and kill them?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr.QofG's is convinced that George Michael will save it!

Tbf I remember very little about the Beijing closing ceremony apart from the British bit, it's the opening that's important

 

[Firky]

Jesus, it gets worse - who the hell is that bloke?

 

[Orang Utan]

It's a fat sting soundalike. Eugh

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

oh. This wasn't what I had in mind.

Do you reckon they all get to take their bit of the cauldron home?

All the petals/rods/thingies are marked with a country and they get to take it home

 

[harpo]

At last! Them that have actually done it

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wow, this is even more a "fuck you, world" than the opening ceremony was. At least that was entertaining madness.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Yes! Garvey! We're saved!

 

[starfish]

Seriously, who was that black girl with the jerry lee lewis hairdo?

Also, who signed her and where can i find and kill them?

Emeli Sande. She sang at the opening thingy too.

 

[youngian]

Maybe the Brazil bit will be good

Lets hope a winged Jonathan Pryce flies.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Tbf I remember very little about the Beijing closing ceremony apart from the British bit, it's the opening that's important

I was clinging onto this too

 

[Geri]

My God, you lot know nothing. That was Emile Sande, and this is Elbow.

 

[editor]

The fawning commentators are redefining how bad toe-curlingly bad can be.

 

[Libertad]

Seriously, who was that black girl with the jerry lee lewis hairdo?

Also, who signed her and where can i find and kill them?

Emeli Sande.

 

[twentythreedom]

like it now

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

oh, this is a nice way for the athletes to come in, never seen that before

 

[Lord Camomile]

My God, you lot know nothing. That was Emile Sande, and this is Elbow.

Sande, Elbow, knees and toes, knees and toes.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I love the way the stage managers are signalling that athletes need to run to catch up

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

My God, you lot know nothing. That was Emile Sande, and this is Elbow.

Elbow? Is that a song or a person?

 

[Firky]

"Greatest party on earth"

 

[Lord Camomile]

I bet somewhere in there there are a few awkward glances over nights best forgotten

 

[Geri]

The song choices are too dreary in this section.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I bet somewhere in there there are a few awkward glances over nights best forgotten

I wonder how many condoms Brazil are ordering?

 

[free spirit]

they've got the athletes running in this time I see.

 

[Maltin]

Germans wearing their dodgy coats again.

 

[Orang Utan]

God, this song is horrific
