biscuit anyone?

Is this guy on holiday or do PMs always have so much time to spare ...?

Can't he just clear off to Italy or France like Tony Blair and give us all a well-earned break for a fortnight... ?

on smiling, i'm glad she doesn't tbh, but perhaps she needs something,maybe it is a nice crescendo & dimminuendo. lower down her face?

Like, you mean, a bra??

I'll bump you up one more. Also confirmed for closing ceremony are: George Michael (but will there be Andrew Ridgely? Will they do whatever before you go-go?) and Tinie Tempah (who he?) the LPO and The Who (Yawn!!) Blimey, why don't they wheel out Rick Wakeman or Phil Collins and bore everyone to death? Why not, if they are going down the Retro-Route, Kate Bush or Depeche Mode, Dr. Robert & The Blow Monkeys, Morrisey, Stone Roses, Echo & The Bunny Men??? Pet Shop Boys would be so brill!! And what about Marc Almond? Let us hope that at least Robbie Williams will be there ...........

Sounds thrilling
so sad i'm going to miss it

Surely it would be more in the spirit to have a sequence of the most "inappropriate" musics
so
a set by the reformed Crass
John Harle playing Panic ( )
Napalm Deth

etc etc etc

Hmm, fine idea. I might just turn off the sound of the broadcast and play just such a selection to accompany the visuals. Fortunately I have all those mentioned on CD. I think Sheep Farming in the Falklands would make a good starter, to reflect the rural image at the start of the opening ceremony, that is.

I wonder who'l make the 1000th post?


Perhaps we should wait & make it a final grump about the closing ceremony

[John Wright]

Well, from what Anna has gleaned, I think I will be joining the miseries on closing day.

But until then let me offer posters on this thread this:

At the rate we're going, we could be at 2000 by Sunday. I haven't watched a limpic yet. I'm wondering whether to watch the end on Sunday - just to make sure it's actually happened.

999 - Help, murder, polis!

Come on, who's next?

Gee thanks guys - you've set me up again just in time:

I propose that we award JW a special medal for the most limited vocabulary.

Done!

As for the earlier posts, I've heard from an unconfirmed source that Kate Bush will be performing at the closing ceremony. Genuinely. If it is true, I can only assume it will be video as it is decades since she has done live.

(Bryn - Sorry. Sheep Farming in the Falklands is less likely. They have had crass already.)
