Mysteriouschic

Say what you like but that was the most spectacular, enjoyable and entertaining closing ceremony of any Olympics I've ever seen!:)

Here's to Rio 2016!:cool:

Why don't the BBC et al show some more obscure sports throughout non-Olympic years? All the talk about 'inspiring a generation', and from next week onwards; all you'll hear about is the usual shite about Ballotelli and his most recent publicity stunts.

Easy come, easy go

I was at the Special Olympics Closing Ceremony in Dublin in 2003.

It kicked the pants of this one honestly.

I was thinking about that. I reckon its all the fault of soccer. Soccer soaks up most of the sports money and thus gets the most coverage

And just like that, it's done!

I thought this thread should have a closing ceremony

:( Bye Bye

Till Rio

phasers

that closing ceremony was ****e!

I'll really miss the Olympics, I've never really enjoyed them until this one. Fair play London.

Well, there goes sport worth watching for the next 4 years.
Football is a far too slow game. Rugby and GAA will keep me somewhat entertained but it's really just taking what I can get.

Can't wait until Rio, hopefully I improve in my archery or taekwondo by then

patmac

Well done London brilliant effort, between the red button and the organisation I actually didn't mind the Brits winning. Going to be hard watching the premiership pre Madonnas diving and moaning while earning ridiculous amounts of money. Looking forward to the Paralympics and chatting again.

Jesus Christ would you give it a rest - I think Jessie J can sing and yes I think she is way better than Muse. I hate this kind of snobbery towards pop singers just cos they're not in a band or don't write their own songs they couldn't be talented - give me a break. Like I said before everyone has their own musical likes, muse just don't happen to be one of mine.

They are completely different genres of music anyway so there could be no comparison.

twirlagig

While I didn't contribute a lot to this thread, I have to say it's been so enjoyable following it - thanks! Gonna miss it... Sad it's all over now

Namlub

Aww I'll miss this thread What am I going to do with my life now the Olympics are over?

Mysteriouschic

Well that's it. The end of the 2012 Olympics. What an absolutely amazing two weeks or so. I've laughed and shed a tear or two and everything in between. From spectacular performances by our boxers and the pride in hearing your national anthem at an Olympics to the "where were you moments" like Usain Bolt and Mo Farah becoming living legends. It's been an absolute honour and privilege to share it with all of you on here. Good night and take care.

Well its been a fantastic games, and a great two threads so far for London 2012. Some great posts from quality posters barr the odd wum and troll. I have really enjoyed being a part of it, and hope it continues up to and during the Paralympics, and hopefully into a Part 3.

But for now, I'm off to bed, night night, and I'm sure there will be plenty more chat later.

Canadians in denim jackets. They always are at the forefront of style those lads.

I think you'll find it was our own Kenny Egan that started that trend.

He's after putting that Jacket up for auction on twitter, proceeds to temple st.

He has lived through 21 of them !
Would have been 23 if not for the war.

I like The Sky at Night.
Its the longest running TV programme in the world with the same presenter.
