The Closing Ceremony

[editor]

Painful. It's going to need something amazing to rescue this nightmare of blandness.

 

[bi0boy]

One Direction, miming to one they did earlier

 

[Geri]

OK I must be old but who is this boys band?

One Direction.

 

[Espresso]

This is One Direction.
Simon Cowell put them together.

 

[ChrisD]

Mixing lorries and bikes... I see accident about to happen

 

[Bungle73]

So that's who there are then......

 

[free spirit]

I this One Direction. Can I kill them? Will the PetShop Boys kill them please?

argh, make it stop. You have my permission to kill them... take the shot, take the shot.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

back to the good stuff and Stomp

 

[kittyP]

I have never heard of these boys before.
Oh my suffering fuck

 

[free spirit]

oh, have they got stomp in, os just copied them?

 

[quimcunx]

So that's who there are then......

This. I'd avoided actually seeing or hearing them til now.

 

[boohoo]

The baby got upset when one direction came on.

 

[starfish]

They were lined up perfectly for a firing squad there.

 

[Lord Camomile]

One possible concession is that they won't have had time to build the set that the opening ceremony had, so will have had to come up with something a bit less spectacular.

Not sure "more shit" was the direction they had to go in though.

 

[Orang Utan]

This is like some shabby west end musical

 

[youngian]

Some Simon Cowell fairy boys on a lorry, it looks like an Asda opening.

 

[El Sueno]

They should be pounding the shit out of One Direction not those poor bin lids, which ironically actually serve the important role of maintaining awful stinks.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is like some shabby west end musical

Welcome to London.

 

[Maltin]

Perhaps we're just being nice to Brazil so they dont have much to live up to. Hopefully it will get better though.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

oh, have they got stomp in, os just copied them?

Yes, they said biggest cast of Stomp together

 

[Miss-Shelf]

how long is it?

 

[Espresso]

I think that they might as well let Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis come on now, paying Scrabble. I'd find that a bit more interesting.

 

[Geri]

I quite liked One Direction. And they are very, very well known all over the world.

 

[bi0boy]

Maybe the Brazil bit will be good

 

[Lord Camomile]

Those are cries of terror, not cheers.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I quite liked One Direction. And they are very, very well known all over the world.

I've only just discovered it's them that sing that song

 

[Libertad]

Some Simon Cowell fairy boys on a lorry, it looks like an Asda opening.

"Fairy boys"? Maybe we'll return to that later.

 

[quimcunx]

Should have done Notting Hill Carnival floats. Spoiled things for the Rio lot.

 

[Lord Camomile]

how long is it?

20 mins in.

I don't think anyone asked that of the opening ceremony.

 

[free spirit]

did the sound just fuck up on the beatles bit?

is it the jinx of paul McCArtney?
