***Olympic Closing Ceremony - The Official Thread***

[Lethargic]

The rest of the planet will now be convinced that the British Isles is one large lunatic asylum that was bonkers but for some reason I can't explain I enjoyed it.

 

[Ernest]

Muse

Get the Spice Girls back on

 

[rocker959]

I want Motorhead grrrrrrrrrr !! Love to hear Lemmy announce 'We are Motorhead and we are gonna f*** you up '!

 

[BensGrandad]

Muse are awful I agree with ERNEST bring back The Spice Girls

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

That was the best bit but now the shittiest Muse song

 

[Marxo]

I've always thought that Matthew Bellamy of Muse looks like Billy Bowden the cricket umpire.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Surely him dropping the s-bomb wasn't in the plans..

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Is this Muse chap a club singer?

 

[Acker79]

Are the opening/closing ceremonies going to be released on dvd?

 

[Cosmic Joker]

Undoubtedly the first and last Olympic Ceremony to feature the phrase "Life's a piece of shit when you look at it". Bet NBC cut that for the Yanks.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Bring on Radiohead! Great selection of acts tonight. Loved the human cannonball too.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

You'd think Muse would've upped the drama for this wouldn't you?

 

[banjo]

Queen here we go.

 

[Questions]

Muse........ f***ing dreary.

And know a dead Freddy.

 

[Frutos]

Freddie

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

[Theatre of Trees]

Highlight so far: american bloke in the row behind me, btwn Russell Brand and FatBoySlim: ‘you guys sure do a lot of drugs, don’t you?’

At last, what the cynics wanted. After 17 days, the London Olympics finally goes disastrously wrong.

Mark Steel ‏@mrmarksteel
I guess this bit ends with a weightlifter picking up all 5 Spice Girls for 3 clear seconds

Nathan Jones ‏[MENTION=8308]Coco[/MENTION]wasp
Ooooo crab paste

The Bugle ‏[MENTION=15850]Hello[/MENTION]buglers
Good to see what I assume is the first use of the word "shit" in a closing ceremony. At least since Hitler's closing speech in 1936

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Here we go. It's Freddie Time.

 

[Easy 10]

Yay, Bob Bookers turned up.

:edit:

I was too slow. Chicken marengo.
