The Closing Ceremony

[Firky]

Oh. This is a bit dull and pointless. Think I was expecting too much after the awesomeness of the opening ceremony.

Good thread though, I like it when urban comes together to slag or praise something or someone off

 

[harpo]

British disco classic. Modern British artistes. Much better now.

 

[DrRingDing]

All will be forgiven if Lemmy comes on *crosses fingers*

You'll get the Spice Girls and be happy.

 

[youngian]

Pity they didn't get in a slightly pissed Wogan instead of Trevor Nelson.

 

[quimcunx]

Who is the guy who is not Tinie?

 

[kittyP]

British disco classic. Modern British artistes. Much better now.

Who is it?

 

[Orang Utan]

This is like being in the worst gym in the world

 

[Lord Camomile]

Maybe this is just the stuff for the bit of Britain that wasn't served by the OC. Like BBC3 and Radio 1 to BBC4 and Radio 4.

 

[quimcunx]

Something cruz?

 

[Firky]

"It's like being at a disco, isn't it?"

The cream of BBC commentary, amazing observational skills, poetic rhetoric, envy of the world.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ha! Again, the best bit comes from an athlete!

 

[Gingerman]

Tomorrow's headlines - 'Thousands Trampled Underfoot in Rush to Leave Stadium'.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Excellent. Some black cabs which Londoners use every day (if they're rich Londoners)

They look good though (the cabs I mean, not the fucking passengers)

 

[Lord Camomile]

Uh-oh, are they about to occupy the streets in protest at the Olympic lanes

 

[Maltin]

 

[harpo]

Wow is it?

The Bee Gees. Actually Manx but technically British. Jessie J and Tinie Tempah. Modern British artistes. Yeah

 

[xes]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[quimcunx]

Ha! Again, the best bit comes from an athlete!

What? What?


SPICE GIRLS. YAY! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE 'EM.

 

[DrRingDing]

Will the passengers really delight everyone hugh?

 

[Plumdaff]

christ Scary is top heavy these days

 

[Brainaddict]

Someone just tweeted this into my timeline:

Can we set off those missiles on the tower blocks now? Be a shame to waste them. #London2012

Eta: And it would be a shame. A terrible shame.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

And now, the final of the javellin. thrtwone... Fire!

 

[Miss-Shelf]

Bet Mel's glad she had Jenny Craig to help her get in shape for that suit!

 

[bi0boy]

There's a big lighting rig above their heads

 

[Lord Camomile]

What? What?

They had a scrolling text thing on their phone which said something along the lines of "Hello everyone thank u!!!", which I thought was rather sweet.

 

[paulhackett]

If there was any justice, those cabs would run them over

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I never drink at home, but there's a beer in the fridge. I'm tempted to take up drinking at home

 

[han]

I used to like the spice Girls, in an ironic kind of way. Watching this through my hands though.

 

[Geri]

Hands up who went to see Spiceword: The Movie?

 

[Gingerman]

It's what we really really want....is it fuck!!!
