is that light bulbs on his cape thing?

Looking at this thru foreign eyes... Americans are going to like the closing ceremony better than the opening (on average, if they were asked). It's naive & culturally blinkered, but all this ultra-British stuff just passes a lot of foreigners by. They want fireworks & BLING. Even badly sung bling.

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:35

Well this puts things in perspective. We did bloody brilliantly compared to this shit.

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:37

I'm really looking forward to the Rio opening ceremony now................................NOT.

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:37

You're right Namechange

Labootin · 12/08/2012 23:37

Who are these brazialians at least we can take the piss out of people we know

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:38

They're logo's better.....nowt else

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:39

YAWN.............................

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:39

Blah blah blah goodbye and get lost.

Who forgot to tell Seb Coe that the Queen wasn't going to be there?

izzyizin · 12/08/2012 23:40

The Rio opening ceremony will be a blast, Namechange - they know how to party and they're not cursed with the embalmed corpse that is Paul McCartney.

Fireandashes · 12/08/2012 23:41

They've got four years to practice and our 'reign' began with Boris wielding a flag (badly) so I won't be too critical.

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:42

I'll give you that izzy. Watching a bunch of transvestites dancing is a million times better than watching Paul fucking McCartney try to sing.

YANBU

freddiefrog · 12/08/2012 23:42

Apart from the weirdy fashion bit I really liked it

This bit with Rio is a bit shit though

freddiefrog · 12/08/2012 23:43

And as long as Paul McCartney doesn't pop up from somewhere and sing fecking Hey bloody Jude I'll go to bed happy

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:44

What's goIng to happen to LOCOG and seb Coe? Dissolve?

LordOfThe5Rings · 12/08/2012 23:45

Rios dance was very...

random?

pixipie151 · 12/08/2012 23:45

Thats 2.5 hours of my life i'll never get back.

BupcakesandCunting · 12/08/2012 23:47

I think we've got away with it! Old Thumbs Aloft isn't coming on!

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:48

Yes I feel ripped off. It was supposed to finish at 11.30pm. It's nearly midnight. They should all fuck off now and go to bed.

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:49

I can hear a helicopter above...that's not the queen dropping in again is it???

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:49

OMG LOOK!!!!!

NameChangeGalore · 12/08/2012 23:50

That's a fire hazard.

Lonelylou · 12/08/2012 23:50
