The Closing Ceremony

[free spirit]

this is more like it. The music's still not a patch on underworld's score though.

 

[Firky]

Please, PLEASE - just blow out the fucking candle - I want to go to bed.. I have a new reading light that I'm very excited about...

Is it one of those that clip onto the book?

 

[kittyP]

It's gone all a bit Lord of the Rings but with ballet.

 

[Ranbay]

theres more? i turned it off when the speech came one

 

[harpo]

Please, PLEASE - just blow out the fucking candle - I want to go to bed.. I have a new reading light that I'm very excited about...

Exactly. It's ridiculous now. Fireworks then bed, please.

 

[Lord Camomile]

As much as I love Darcey, this does seem a bit like rehearsing various lifts then deciding, "oh, no, that doesn't work, let's try something else...".

 

[xes]

yeah, bored now. Want to go gto bed.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I quite liked that ballet bit

Nah - posh one that clips onto the bedpost (You've NO idea how happy I was when it arrived )

 

[Firky]

Every time I hear the French MC I expect Sash to kick in.

 

[twentythreedom]

The french must be laughing at us. we beat them to get the games, but all announcements are made in french first.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ah ok, the who. Go on. Do it right.

 

[quimcunx]

Seriously no need to make it so fucking long.

 

[harpo]

Oh god nooooooooooooo................................

 

[8ball]

Grandad rock!

Dusty Bristle didn't seem to do much actual dancing though. She just got carried around.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Save us Roger Daltry, you're our only hope.

 

[Firky]

Ohhh like a bulb on a big crocodile clip? I only have a rather crap plastic angle poise lamp

 

[Libertad]

Who's better?

 

[twentythreedom]

Are the performers CRB checked?

YouTube Video

Isn't he Belgian?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I was once supposed to introduce an am dram show in French, and accidentally went into that at one point

 

[agricola]

I suppose the opening ceremony was a showcase of everything that is great about Britain, and the closing is a showcase of everything that isnt.

 

[xes]

Daltry looks far more like Willy Wonka than Russle brand did

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well couldn't see any of those fireworks because of the trees. I hope they have them in more places than just the main stadium

 

[Lea]

Yeah, the person who came up with the singing acts must be of a certain age. Don't reckon the younger generation would really know the Who.

 

[quimcunx]

Bored now. Can't even be bothered taking the piss.

 

[joustmaster]

genuine lol

 

[editor]

At least Daltrey has something of his voice left.
