The Closing Ceremony

[agricola]

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.

Indeed. There must be thousands of people in that crowd who could only get tickets for this - sixteen days of amazing fun, and they pay thousands of pounds to sit and watch a live action remake of Daisy and Tim's party in Spaced.

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

Yes, four more cycling events are being dropped next time to make way.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Fuck, Queen.

 

[xes]

fuck me a different song!

 

[bi0boy]

I thought Freddie Mercury died?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

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 .

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Unless the paper I read was lying but it's a good audience participation song and the audience must be getting really bored now

 

[xes]

the crowd thing looks pretty.

 

[Firky]

Queen, I hope it goes proper camp. I love a bit of mega theatrical campness

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Everything the opening ceremony wasn't. One obvious choice after another.

 

[han]

No-one seems to know what's going on.
IMAGINE! Oh no, this is torture. You couldn't make this up.

 

[editor]

It's officially jumped the shark.

 

[bi0boy]

I thought Freddie Mercury died?

Oh, it was on the CD player.

 

[SpookyFrank]

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

Nah, she's watching it on TV and babbling about it on facebook.

Not like me, watching it on a laptop and bitching about it on urban :rollseyes:

 

[Plumdaff]

Oh God children singing Imagine................make it stop

 

[Lord Camomile]

Earnest, earnest, pap.

This stuff worked in the OC, but this is just... well, in keeping with the ceremony, just repeat the first three words of this post.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Couldn't the kids hit the high notes?

 

[Lea]

Oh a ghost from the past.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr.QofG's hates, hates, hates "Imagine" and is taking refuge in beer and two chocolate biscuits!

 

[han]

John Lenton would've hated this. Eek.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

I thought Freddie Mercury died?

It's got him out of this.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh a ghost from the past.

They should bring those NHS beds back in if they're going to roll out dead people

 

[El Sueno]

 

[Libertad]

Eat your heart out McCartney.

 

[Firky]

No one diss Queen, they're fagotastic

 

[free spirit]

and John Lennon steels the show from beyond the grave.

 

[quimcunx]

Oh a ghost from the past.

If they were going to bring back the dead it should have been a hologram Princess Di.

 

[Ranbay]

Fair play Lennon hasn't aged a bit

 

[Lord Camomile]

Are they building a fortress out of mattresses?

e2a: Oh no, it's a horrific giant death mask.

Great.

 

[Geri]

I think my colleague is at this. He will love it though.

 

[IC3D]

That was class
