Beyond terrible.



In danger of ruining the whole fecking thing (which I've loved).



Connects to nothing, artists that aren't there, people whose material is utter shatpank.



Which massive gormclops signed this utter face of a dogs egg off?



The ting Beatles have just come on, they won't be there either.



Utter sheeeitte, from a country I'm proud to belong to and has been brilliant up until now.

Elbow come on, totally change my mind.



Not like me that.



Totally like me.



Start a thread and kill yourself.



Beautiful.



Ugly.



Probably the latter.



The latter.

I agreed with your first post somewhat. However alittle of an exaggeration was your comment "in danger of ruining the whole thing".



I'm guessing that would be impossible now.



What a fantastic 2 weeks, get some fireworks into the sky, and then let the memories live on.



What a great games.

Nothing was going to beat that astounding, weird & wonderful opening ceremony - but yes, this has started very oddly and a little awkwardly. The rest of the world must just think we're fcking nuts.





Only real cock-up was misjudging the time it would take to get the athletes in place - hence repeating the opening music.



Anyway, it's barely got going! Might pull this out the bag yet.



Gutted the Olympics is finishing, what an epic 16 days. Exceeded everyone's expectations and then some.

This is terrible - Seems they've gone for the easy option of cheap, cheesy and camp.



I suppose it just highlights how fantastic Danny Boyle's opening effort truly was, because this is absolute rubbish in comparison.

In a continuation of ruining a thread that you've started...



Brilliant to celebrate the volunteers.



I was lucky enough to go to The Olympics twice, I'd been wanting to go since I was six in nineteen eighty, they made it. They were fantastic. Funny, helpful, witty, British, enthusiastic.



I was in Trafalgar Square a couple of weeks ago, just sat having a fag (default position) a woman approached a volunteer for a map, half a minute later the volunteer obviously thought : "I've got a better map!" and chased her half way across Trafalgar to give her the better map.



Awful at starting threads me, I try not to do it, for obvious reasons.

Always look on the bright side of life

What time does this "symphony of great British music" start ?

Hopefully Morrisey will pop up, if not, Lydon.



its ;like fcking karoake

I don't know why you're so upset about playing music from people who have died. I didn't see any objection to Jerusalem being sung in the opening ceremony.



Anything that has Wonderwall, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and We Will Rock You on top of a massive great Union Jack will do alright for me

I've run out of tears.

A mixed bag. Has there ever been a memorable closing ceremony?



Still, a fantastic olympics. Loved the last couple of weeks. Shame its ending
