"Only looking forward to two or so events"
Me :pal:
Whilst I would still give the athletics nod to Tokyo '91, as a whole I think this could well be the greatest sporting event I've ever seen. I know when you think about it there isn't that much by way of competition outside of World Cups/Euros/World Champs, but even so..
Total Wipeout season 2.Quote:

A thought to go to kip on. If this was the World Cup (and hell, even the European Championships give or take a day or two), we'd only just be out of the group stage by now... A lesson there Rogge!
Next time, add more sports.
Absolutely fantastic even though I had to enjoy it many miles away. . .really made me want to be back! Little bit gutted that its all over!
Team GB did us proud too, it could have been more but thats sports! :bow: sports
:bow: Maccy, for posting 10,000+ times
Footie season is round corner and I will be in London in Nov, looking to go to the Spuds game (will be first Emirates)
Genuinely your best post ever.Quote:

At least it's guaranteed none of these 'stars' will infest Brazil.
Pele to do a two-hour closing concert interspersed with call and response chants of how shit Messi is?
Great ending to a great event tbh
Both Ceremonies were awlsome
Olympics :bow:
GB. :bow:
London. :bow:
Olympics. :bow:
Gutted that's it's all over, a brilliant 2 weeks that will live long in the memory. We should put in a bid for 2020 tbh.
What a brilliant two weeks.
I was sceptical I must admit, but I think this is the best thing I've ever seen our nation do. Just amazing.
GB :bow:
A Pele and Cripps duet.Quote:

:(
There was talk during the week that London could launch a bid for 2028. :dance:
I'll be 40 then. :sick:

Danny Boyle is re cutting the opening ceremonyQuote:

Danny Boyle is cutting a feature-length version of his magnificent Olympics opening ceremony. The film will be released on a DVD and will make clear any of the mysteries surrounding the production, which got the Games off to a flier and was watched by a TV audience in the UK of 27 million. It will have all the Boyle trademarks, using the ceremony's music (by Underworld) as well the tunes of Dizzee Rascal and the pop montage that has already topped the iTunes downloads chart.
Boyle has also revealed to me that he will be using the film clips he inserted into the show, which include Ken Loach's Kes and two slices of his film hero, Nicolas Roeg. Boyle told me he "hopes to make things clearer" on the DVD, giving people time to spot the references and links that passed by in a flash and which weren't always picked up by the TV cameras. Boyle says there were many other movie clips in his montage but feels that, because of the pressures of getting the show delivered on time, some of the items got lost. "It will make more sense in this version," he promised. Not that anyone minded any faults in the live show, which has generally been acknowledged as the finest opening ceremony in the history of the Games. And yes, I have it on good authority that the entry procession of the athletes will be speeded up, though it will still use the live DJ set Boyle and Stuart Price oversaw on the night itself. If the film isn't eligible for the usual awards of Oscar and Bafta etc, I hope someone will at least give Danny a gold medal.
As long as Macca isnt cut
They can cut the opening few mins which was a bit shit
Coldplay :bow:
What? :angry:
Sad this brings the curtain down on London 2012 overall.
Hope we get the games again in my lifetime.

It's the music equivalent of a forward line featuring three Chamakhs.
