Chek Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 This was especially true regarding the soundtrack : The jam, Thin lizzy, The specials.... The two commentators only awoke with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Queen and The sex pistols If someone had said to me twent...thirt...hell it's closer to fourty years ago that the sex pistols would be played at the 2012 Olympic opening,I'd have rammed them thru their heart with my oh so spikey hair. OMG Sid Vicious is part of the establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeknodathon Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yet again, the greatest gift these Isles have offered the nations of the world has been spurned; irony. But we offer Mr Bean for those who struggle. PS what was it with the US of A team looking like a bunch of paramilitary security guards on a day trip from a camp in Cuba? I thought we'd solved our internal security issues a few days ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 NI can hear Paul Mccartney singing from about 5 miles away! It's the Olympic 2012 opening ceremony and despite being in North London I can see the lights and hear the show. Doesn't happen every day. Actually I don't think that was Sir Paul singing - the crowd sang most of it:D Note: We thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony at our house - including the parts that Paul sang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey when our Olympians tweet things like "When's da gun shooting competition", what did you expect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this mother of all anarchist marches is played everytime a French athlete wins and not even the queen raises an eyebrow!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
