hypochondriac

Just had a funny image of them seeing John's face and causing an uprising that overthrows communism. Powerful stuff.

Right here we go... Wow me.

This bit is pretty w*nk sentimental nonsense that the US love TBH.

Or Gary Glitter.

We do have some bands other than the Beatles you know! Some stones, Led Zepplin maybe?

Yeah and their anthem is pretty cool. Lets see what this bit is like in a minute.

What do you mean? Sound from the stage> Or the crowd?

Thank goodness it is at the end of an event that has massively surpassed what I thought it would be.

Really? It's back to that obsession that opening ceremonies have with people in weird costumes making ambiguous shapes and writhing about.

Thing is though I can totally understand them being on here. Known throughout the world and proudly British. Some oddness going on again. I like the arts but this is what happens when creative types get too much control. It becomes an odd interpretive mess...

1 direction is infinitely worse. Worlds most awful lyrics.

Six of us sad enough to be on here at the same time...

Yep. They were the highlight so far.

I disagree. Could have used some other music anyway rather than the same thing.

All gone a bit disorganised and pub karaoke again...

And clothes made out of newspaper. Was that actually Nicholas Lyndhurst and David Jason in the costumes?

I quite like elbow. Getting slightly better now...

Just shows that contrary to their protestations, they actually monitor this site all the time. Weirdos.

Having said that, this bit looks alright.

This is exactly what I thought the opening ceremony would be like. I'm relieved haha in many ways the closing ceremony doesn't really matter.

Gotcha. Cheers for clearing it up.

Never heard of her. My girlfriend has though so she probably is quite well known. So glad we had a genius like Boyle doing the opening ceremony.

Glad I'm not the only one (And I was getting abuse towards the beginning!) This bit is a bit cheesy and American. Ah well, maybe a tribute to rock would be good later. Hmm.

I'm pleased! I'm sure lots of people like it, just calling things as I see it. I hope the Who are good later.

Haha. In fairness maybe this sort of thing isn't aimed at me. I mean this sort of stuff appeals to those people that like Britains Got Talent etc. Maybe this is the side of Britain that many people like and I'm not supposed to like it...
