I'll second that.
He's a great way to clear/empty a stadium though............

(only bettered by Cliff Richard IMHO)

The roster is pretty dire: Spice Hags, Take That, Queen, Annie Lennox, Muse...

Pet Shop Boys though, on the plus side.

Think of it as a Daily Telegraph take on the Eurovision Song Contest, and you won't go far wrong.

As long as Phil Collins and Sade are there it'll be grand.

I imagine they'd be really good if you wanted to scare birds off your crops.

Not my cup of tea though.

I thought after all the subtle Boyle film references in the opening ceremony they were going to have another movie homage (while presaging the para-olympics) and make the closing ceremony 127 hours long

That's a pisspoor substitute to sucking up the whole thing while tutting at the screen, though.

I actually LIKE Macca.
Seriously.
Obviously he's a bit passed it, but it's like sprouts at Christmas, just wouldn't be the same without.

Muse are good, love Queen, Pet Shop Boys and Annie Lennox I can cope with, but Duran Duran?
LeBon couldn't carry a tune in a bucket 20 years ago and aren't the rest of them all in rehab?

And the Spice Girls? Really?

Should have had the Pistols, New Order, The Prodigy, Maiden, and the Roses. Surely a line up to be proud of. 😀

Please tell me they're not wheeling out that self indulgent, wig wearing bell end Elton John. . .

i'm hoping Rolf Harris gets to lead the stadium through an 'a Capella' rendition of 2-little-boys.

halfway through, the big screens will show lenny henry, drugged bound and gagged. and then fade to black as the crowd continue to sing.

fingers crossed...

Remember how refreshing the opening ceremony was because of the lack of cliches...
