XXXth Olympiad - London

[Lonemagpie]

Lesley's clapping and saying what a good speech, and I'm calling it proselytizing goverment shit - they'd never have paired us up on eHarmony in a billion fucking years

 

[That Weirdo In The Corner]

Take that and get lost. No Robbie

 

[MacLeod]

Ok where's the Babylon Candle. :P

 

[Lonemagpie]

They'd have been better getting Duran Duran, who at least have a song called Rio.

Nice Phoenix though (but, hey, my family crest/coat of arms has *two* of them!)

 

[Angel4576]

Can't stand Take That, but I'll give Barlow a pass tonight. Good on you lad.

 

[That Weirdo In The Corner]

Ladies and Gentlemen Paul McCartney

 

[Lonemagpie]

Ladies and Gentlemen Paul McCartney

Thankfully not!

Ah, the theme tune from Dances With Wolves - nice nod to John Barry

 

[MacLeod]

And now it's The Who.

 

[Angel4576]

Oh yes, this'll do.

 

[MacLeod]

Maybe time for one more song after this, before it's over

 

[Pingfah]

Hey, Daltry learned how to sing again.

 

[Lonemagpie]

The Who! Yay! Would have been if they'd done Pinball Wizard earlier, but they've still got what it takes (unlike Macca).

Macca has never been good on his own.

 

[Lonemagpie]

We only need Tom Jones or Shirley Bassey to complete the British musical experience...

 

[That Weirdo In The Corner]

WHY! did they not end the opening ceremony with this?

The song even fits the opening ceremony with it being about the old generation passing the torch to the new

 

[MacLeod]

Well that's it, it's over. Until the next time.

London 2048 anyone?

 

[Jax]

WOW just frecking wow

Great end to a great Olympics.

 

[MacLeod]

I suspect in Rio, Great Britain will be lucky to match the Beijing medal count.

 

[Relayer1]

I suspect in Rio, Great Britain will be lucky to match the Beijing medal count.

But the body count will be substantially higher...

 

[Angel4576]

I think we'll be alright for the Beijing count, but nothing like 2012's haul.
