The Closing Ceremony

[quimcunx]

Maybe but perhaps he could have used it on a decent song. Something by Take That maybe.

 

[kittyP]

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.

I would think that lots would recognise the songs.

 

[editor]

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

I discovered I can see them from my block. Can't be arsed to take any pics though.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

At least Daltrey has something of his voice left.

Whereas just about everyone else has been left speechless!?

 

[Shreddy]

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

So far so good. One of the very very few acts tonight that can handle a venue/gig like this...

Lots of the younger generation watch CSI shit though

 

[Hollis]

I think the Olympics happened about 15 years too late for the 'festival of music', its mainly holograms and geriatrics now or silly 'legacy' bands.

 

[Firky]

Nah - gooseneck halogen on a clip - I've kidded myself I'm gonna read SO much more now because of it

Awesome

I have stopped taking my Nexus tablet to bed because I'd stay up to 3am posting crap on here instead of reading Viz tucked inside 19th Century literary classics.

YEp. They're old and can't move about the stage much. But fuck me they're better than what went before

 

[twentythreedom]

Fuck me did some chick have her jugs out?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Now that was impressive

 

[Lord Camomile]

Honestly, seriously, not even taking the piss now, how the fuck weren't Bassey and Jones asked to be in this. Can still perform better than most, got some great tunes in their back catalogue to belt out, and would bump up the "not English" British representation.

 

[youngian]

Now if they bought on the Who after Del and Rodney that would of been a good night.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Bless Michael Johnson for being so polite

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh Michael, don't endorse it.

It's ok, I know you're only being polite, you're a decent fellow.

 

[quimcunx]

Lol, poor commentators having to gush insincerely.

 

[Firky]

I half expected the Stereophonics to make a cameo appearance for Wales.

 

[twentythreedom]

Michael Johnson is a very polite man

 

[editor]

Bassey could have done the job proper tonight.

 

[quimcunx]

Bless Michael Johnson for being so polite

He did rather skim over the CC onto praising the athletics!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bassey could have done the job proper tonight.

We can only imagine

 

[twentythreedom]

Mobot seeking a charger

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Michael Johnson is a very polite man

He's gonna be unemployed for four years - he wants a good reference...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Did I miss something, or were the Indian dancers Eric Idle took the piss out of just about the only nod to racial diversity in this thing?

 

[Lord Camomile]

This really has left a bitter taste in my mouth after a great two weeks.

Fucking Britain. Back to work tomorrow.

Fuck it.

Fuck.

Bollocks.

Wankers.

 

[agricola]

Did I miss something, or were the Indian dancers Eric Idle took the piss out of just about the only nod to racial diversity in this thing?

Nope, there was the Welsh choir as well.

 

[quimcunx]

Fireworks?

 

[quimcunx]

I feel like my gidget asking 'party bag?' when one failed to appear when expected.

 

[paulhackett]

Next, Gary Lineker takes Sue Barker up the shitter

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I discovered I can see them from my block. Can't be arsed to take any pics though.

They came unexpectedly and I didn't have time to get camera set up. Opening ceremony pictures were better and they were still crap
