The Closing Ceremony

[Firky]

Ah well, this medal ceremony is a nice touch.

Of course, it's a tradition, so nothing to do with our input...

The expressions on that gold medallist's face is the best thing so far, proper smiles.

 

[SpookyFrank]

How could it get worse? What about a set from Rod Stewart?

Something like the NHS bit from the opening ceremony but with the EDL instead of the NHS.

 

[quimcunx]

Apparently its traditional, albeit it isnt usually done to what sounds like the love theme from a Moore-era Bond film.

It would be good with the Tales of the Unexpected music and lady dancing in the background flame.

 

[free spirit]

well at least this tune's better than one direction.

 

[Belushi]

the Ugandan anthem is

Or Englebert with his Eurovision song

 

[catinthehat]

Unless they whack on some Spiral Tribe its pretty much Daves mix tape he plays when he wants to appear 'edgy' isn't it ?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Highlight of the show.

[Nine Bob Note]

*Puts money on the national anthem of Uganda being number one in the charts in Germany, Holland, Denmark and Australia this time next week*

 

[han]

One Direction will be performing the Ugandan national anthem now.

God, a bit of wee nearly came out when I read that. :-D

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I reckon the best part of this ceremony is going to be Eric Idle

 

[Maltin]

Must be quite an honour to be presented with your gold medal in front of all the athletes

 

[quimcunx]

the Ugandan anthem is

Cheery and chipper.

Did Uganda get any other golds? Nice for them.

 

[Ozone]

According to the menu, after this and volunteer recognition, it's a Symphony of British Music

This is when it will really pick up

Maybe if they get the old guys to mime, and just play recordings of their stuff from when they could actually still sing?

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'm hoping this whole gag-fest is just a comedy set up for the inevitable dalek invasion in the final act.

 

[Firky]

It's like something out of the mind of Alan Partridge.

 

[bi0boy]

Did Uganda get any other golds?

That was their first medal since 1996

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It's like something out of the mind of Alan Partridge.

Yay. Are we going to get monkey tennis? *crosses fingers*

 

[quimcunx]

Must be quite an honour to be presented with your gold medal in front of all the athletes

Yep. And a rather big tv worldwide audience. theoretically.

 

[tommers]

The expressions on that gold medallist's face is the best thing so far, proper smiles.

Meow meow.

 

[Firky]

Yay. Are we going to get monkey tennis? *crosses fingers*

No, Jet from Gladiators singing Hey Jude instead.

 

[editor]

The crowd look pretty glum. They'd come expecting a big party and got a messed up wedding party where the DJ forgot to bring the records.

 

[SpookyFrank]

My sister is enjoying this apparently.

Is there something like divorce, but for sisters?

 

[youngian]

Is that true?

 

[Orang Utan]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO! I thought I heard always look on the bright side in the background earlier while Denise and Michael were punditting. Thought I was hallucinating .

 

[Ponyutd]

Craig David isn't there tonight. He chills on Sunday.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Did Uganda get any other golds?

Only from the DRC.

Sorry, but I'm V bored

 

[Firky]

My sister is enjoying this apparently.

Is there something like divorce, but for sisters?

She's paid hundreds of pounds for a ticket presumably. I'd tell people I enjoyed it too.

 

[kittyP]

I thought the medal presentation was good.
They looked well happy
