catmag 336 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Anyone totally bricking it that the closing ceremony is going to be fucking awful? Spice Girls are involved, so it's a possibility. However, it doesn't matter how bad the closing ceremony is. As a spectacle it'll be remembered for the opening ceremony and then for the absolutely amazing nature of the games themselves. Rumour is that they're found Kate Bush in her reclusive state and have persuaded her to partake. George Michael, Jessie J and the Pet Shop Boys also apparently part of the Brit-pop finale.

Meenzer 14060 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 How camp is Tom Daley. Daley and Beckham next to each other on the couch. A perfect pairing somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14060 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Divers, easily. Have you ever seen a diver kick ass like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34593 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That was immense last night. Farah hitting the front and just holding off everybody two weeks in a row, I was convinced the Ethiopian lad was gonna catch him on the home straight, then he seemed to kick again. Fair play to Steve Cram btw. He's turned into a genuinely very good commentator, particularly in a race like that and last weeks 10k where it's obviously something close to his heart. I was made up for Daley too, and it was class to see someone ecstatic with his medal. Hopefully he can go one or two better next time. Fucking gutted that this thing is finishing today. Let's just do it all again ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYD 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 As someone said earlier, Sports Personality of the Year should be interesting this year for once. Before the Olympics I thought the fella from Belgium Bradley Wiggins would win it, now I think the Muslim Mo Farah will win it just for the PC correct wankers.

Fucking hell, you'd think a devout Muslim proud to be British winning two gold medals would be hailed as a fantastic success of a multicultural and integrated Britain instead of something to moan about. You can add Renton's unhappiness at seeing Mo's pray to Mecca in with that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he may have been putting praying to mecca in the same box as the footballers (or whomever) who thank God for their success.

Of course he may have been putting praying to mecca in the same box as the footballers (or whomever) who thank God for their success. I was as it happens. Knew I shouldn't have posted it but I just find the idea that bowing in submission to a sky fairy immediately after the race for his success didnt feel right. He should credit himself for what was an amazing performance, no one else. I know footballers often cross themselves after scoring, but it's the action of utter submission that Muslims do that I don't like. But the guys clearly a top bloke, I just don't like his religion. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17821 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 How nice. There's loads of elements of faith I don't feel comfortable being displayed in public. I realise at least that's my problem, no one else's. Don't feel like I need to be patronised by you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
