The Closing Ceremony

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I can see mass sychronisation bits for the Rio ceremony, if only the people flipping cards could get their timing right

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ah, bloke in dodgy suit. It's gone weird.

Seu Jorge, very cool bloke thank you very much.

 

[editor]

All they had to do is samba and shake their booties and they would have had this sewn up.

 

[kittyP]

Why not?

Well, quite.

 

[Gingerman]

Fire up the drums and get dancing ffs

Aye,shake some fucking Brazilian ass ffs!!!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Bad Eurovision now.

 

[scifisam]

That is sarcasm, right?

Nah, just spoke too soon - I liked most of his bit but then it got dull again.

 

[youngian]

Who put Captain Sisko on community service

 

[krtek a houby]

Pele!

 

[agricola]

Pele has turned up.

 

[quimcunx]

Pele! We've heard of him!

 

[Brainaddict]

Perhaps it could all have been saved if at the end they had lowered a tiny stonehenge onto the stage.

 

[free spirit]

lol - we've got beckham, they've got Pele.

point well made boys

 

[Libertad]

Perhaps it could all have been saved if at the end they had lowered a tiny stonehenge onto the stage.

Or the real one.

 

[twentythreedom]

that was balls

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Lots of colour. Remember we all cringed with embarrassment at the British segment at Beijing (although I think we can now pretend that was part of the closing ceremony)

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Pele > Boris Johnson

 

[agricola]

The sole highlight of that Rio thing was whoever the Brazilian girl was singing in the white dress.

 

[Pickman's model]

Pele has turned up.

good of him to drop by

 

[8ball]

Rio 2016 - fuck it, let's just have a jockstrap for the logo.

 

[Ranbay]

Well that was better than our pish......

 

[Brainaddict]

Or the real one.

They could have lowered a ten ton monolith onto Boris Johnson! That would have cheered everyone up no end.

 

[quimcunx]

lol - we've got beckham, they've got Pele.

point well made boys

This reminds me of seeing the traditional changing of the guards in Prague. They'd only been doing it since their split from Slovakia and devised it from watching DVDs of our lot.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Is there a para-olympic opening ceremony? Maybe that will redeem us.

 

[Gingerman]

Lord Snooty up next

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Don't know why he's speaking to Her Maj, she couldn't even be arsed to turn up!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes, the £50m (ish) is split between the opening and closing ceremonies for both games (so I read)

 

[quimcunx]

Don't know why he's speaking to Her Maj, she couldn't even be arsed to turn up!

Respect to her.

 

[binka]

I HATE SEBASTIAN COE

he's done alright for himself hasn't he?

 

[mrs quoad]

Seb Coe?

Ffs.

Either I keep flicking over at the wrong moment, or the closing ceremony has been a grade-A car crash.
