The Closing Ceremony

[Firky]

This is disjointed as fuck, when it shows sign of promise...

Britain's shame.

 

[agricola]

Naomi Campbell - lets all hope she twats whoever is responsible for this.

 

[han]

What a load a shite. Beep beep! Fashion. Beep!

 

[Badgers]

Is this organised by Victor and Henry Mears?

 

[paulhackett]

Moan. Grumble. Moan. Grumble. Fuck off Trevor Nelson.

 

[pocketscience]

Lovely blouse from Paul Smith

 

[Macabre]

There isnt a facepalm big enough for that fashion skit

 

[editor]

Make it Adam Ant!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to notice the cruel irony that ATOS are a key sponsor of the Paralympics ...

All the volunteers/game makers ribbons holding their passes have ATOS stamped on them. I felt like pointing it out when I was trying to borrow a wheelchair at the 02 on Friday

 

[free spirit]

dear world, we're sorry, really really sorry. Please just remember how good the opening ceremony was.

 

[Firky]

Who are these?

Annie Lennox.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

this is so bad I'm off to Thelma's Gypsy Girls

 

[souljacker]

O hai Annie!

 

[Brainaddict]

This is disjointed as fuck, when it shows sign of promise...

Britain's shame.

It's almost as bad as the murder of lots of brown people for money. For a moment I thought Danny Boyle's opening ceremony had erased all that. But no

 

[Lord Camomile]

This has clearly been put together by someone who only experiences Britain from a very isolated world.

Ooooh, Annie Lennox!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Oh god.

 

[elbows]

So, Bowie turned down an appearance then...

Really? Not Heroes, the song that's been playing throughout the games...?

Im not convinced he is really into performing much since his heart attack years ago. I think he has moved on.

 

[kittyP]

Fuck this, I ain't celebrating a load of women just cos they happen to be thin

Did Naomi Campbell have to walk with someone in case she fell off her shoes again?

 

[twentythreedom]

What the hell is going on

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

This is mind bendingly shit.

 

[Firky]

I hope there's journos reading this thread and writing an article on 'Britain's response'.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well, if nothing else good has come from this evening, I just introduced my flatmate to Bowie's Laughing Gnome

 

[free spirit]

actually I now wish this had been programmed by a wedding DJ.
