Anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies???

Is anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies? So far, I've seen a quite eclectic selection.

I think so far, the highlight has been when Eric Idle, one of the Pythons, came out and sang "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".

oh she finally won her appeal and got the knee.

She called me and told me that she had to call the hospital the night before and I asked why and she replied”to see if they had a spare bed free for me”
If they did not she woudl have to wait again until there was a spare bed .

And SOME WANT GOVT HEALTH CARE AARRGGHH. and all because their messiah said it;’s good.[sigh]

They could never do that here what they did in Japan as the black community would be in uproar, hell if michelle fat bum wanted to get people healthy she would let those on food stamps only get veggies and fruit.

yep that will go down good in some communities hey

I so want them to have one segment where all at once one of those Brit police boxes appear, and out comes Dr. Who (perferably David Tennant)who looks at his watch and says something like, “Sorry wrong century.”, and then the box disappears in a puff of smoke.

[Looks at the Iranian team] Oooo, there's still an Iran? Bloody hell, I was aiming for 2016 at Rio.

The Spice Girls are still good to look at...

Back in '85, visited London with my two kids at the time and wanted to do something that only the English would do, so we went to Earl's Court to see a demonstration by the Royal Marines. Not long after the Falklands, and it was great. Nice to see that there was some competition from Earl's Court (volleyball, I believe).

I see NBC bleeped out the S-Bomb from “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, it wasn’t bleeped out when it was streamed.

Weird those light bulbs on the hats of the guys lining the aisles of the union jack.

Also weird costumes, looked like Mary Poppins at one point.

Now its spacey looking costumes on some guys and what looks like nun habits on some ladies.

Mixed in Scottish pipers with “look on the shiny (or is it brighter) side of life”

Egads.

Well, I’ll say this for the Closing Ceremonies: They’ve certainly overflowed the weight recommendation for the bag.
