Olympics Closing Ceremony

[birdsoeking]

Let’s hope it’s better than the opening ceremony!

Starts at 7 pm on BBC 1.

Alex Yee will be carrying the GB flag.

FFS, I missed being able to yap with you all throug the shite French music bit! Bloody ‘bad gateway’, MN…come on!

The secondary school staff band headlining.

The ‘superstar DJ’ I’d never heard of and the blonde girl singing some sort of ode to transgenderism.

The grim reaper on guitar.

The Cambodian sixth former doing hiphop karaoke.

Fit Tony banging on about ‘makeeen ricorrrrds’.

There was so much to dissect <sigh>

Hooray, we're Bach!

Better than his pun, anyway.

I’m a bit disappointed there has yet to be any Tom cruise or snooooooooooop!! It’s been crap!

Anyway. That was dire without you all.

Mumsnet has ruined my night

So far looks like it's just you, me... and Tony!

I liked the rings and Tony. I’m glad I’m back on the thread though

Aw, fuck. I was only watching to watch-along with MN.

I'm back now - and it was crap with a capital C

What a let down!

Watching the run through of the Olympic torch (beautiful country) but it reminded me how crass I found having all the celebs - particularly salma in Versailles

Yes it was merde.

So none of the rumours turned out to be true. No snoop dogg, billie eilish or Tom cruise

This whole thing is not helping my Sunday-itis. Might have to sack this off and go to bed.

Not memorable but then I can’t remember the London closing very well

Tony was ace!! He looks even more handsome! Probably because of all the Olympic French success!

the band that no one had heard of that didn’t even sing live! At least Victoria beckham did during London 2012!

where they hand over to LA is this where we finally get snoop and cruise?

We haven't had the handover to LA yet so they might be in that.

'allo 'allo?

Oh this is really overlong and boring now. Does anyone care about selected athletes from various continents, or giving bouquets to volunteers? The acrobats were good but so much of the rest has felt like it’s been stretched out to last as long as possible.
We need Snoop Dogg to rescue us.

That will be after this when they handover to La

I wonder if the athletes were sat down watching it?

Are they are on their phones adding comments to the group chat?

hardly thrilling or exciting is it?

2.5 hours so far and nothing has happened.

They do a handover to the next city usually don't they, maybe the night will be saved by LA...

It seemed to drag a bit, but I liked the rock band stuff.

At least with MN down many could give Tony their full focus.

Don't they reveal the seckret fencing-mask ninja?
