I heard Adele and thought she was running

[Shaun]

I heard Adele and thought she was running

[GypsyGoth]

Why have they picked random singers for this ceremony

[Lee.]

Remember this moment guys, this is history. We can tell all our grandchildren about this :love:

Yip, you're right :love:

[Marc]

What song is this?

I believe it's the acoustic version of 'smack my bitch up' but I could be wrong

[Shaun]

Remember this moment guys, this is history. We can tell all our grandchildren about this :love:

"Forty years ago I was sat online rating the flagbearers out of ten in hotness with this guy who once called himself [candycane]."

[Harry!]

Beautiful way to bring the flame in.

[Braden]

:O One of them didn't hug the athlete. Little ****.

[GypsyGoth]

I believe it's the acoustic version of 'smack my bitch up' but I could be wrong

:laugh2: :love:

[Marc]

Aw this is lovely (stop showing that singer it's ruining the moment)

[GypsyGoth]

We should get torches for watching the whole lot of it.

[Jayson]

Is that you singing Marc? :amazed:

[Doogle]

I just realised I missed about 30 seconds of the flame because I was arguing with some annoying **** in the BB section. :bored:

[Braden]

"Forty years ago I was sat online rating the flagbearers out of ten in hotness with this guy who once called himself [candycane]."

I tried to fit in with Christmas theme.

[Marc]

Amazing cauldron, but where will it stay?

Oh yeah ROFL... maybe they'll just run around it? throw javelins through it etc.

[Shaun]

i'm literally exhausted from all of this amazement

[Jayson]

PAUL :worship:

[Marc]

Wow I'm so glad they got Paul McCartney on to sing 'yeah yeah yeah yeaahhhh'

[Marc]

Oh no.... is it meant to be messed up?

[Shaun]

[Niall]

[Marc]

#paulsruinedtheolympics

[Shaun]

Wow I'm so glad they got Paul McCartney on to sing 'yeah yeah yeah yeaahhhh'

[Harry!]

Fantastico olympic cauldron

[Marc]

Rio will never, ever be able to top this ceremony

But can you imagine it? It'll be so colourful and dancey and tribal etc :amazed: it'll be great

[GypsyGoth]

#paulsruinedtheolympics

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

Smithy ‏@ChrisSmithyyy
Paul McCartney is so overrated

unfollowed :idc:

[Smithy]

Rio will never, ever be able to top this ceremony

everyone said that about beijing too

[Jayson]

Every time I see Paul playing somewhere all I can ever look at is that fat drummer and all the faces he pulls :joker:

[Kazanne]

Paul not doing so good

[Niall]

But can you imagine it? It'll be so colourful and dancey and tribal etc :amazed: it'll be great

Yes but it'll still be crap in comparison to today :love:

I am just so awestruck by how well it went. I can't even omg. :worship:

[Marc]

that was 'The End' you uncultured oaf ("And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"). :idc:

Uncultured? I'll have you know I know over 75 varieties of cheese :idc: I'm very cultured.

[Kazanne]

oh sounds a bit better now,lol

[Lee.]

Did Paul **** up?.... or was it his backing singers?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

aw poor paul must be sick to death of this song

[Saph]

I was enjoying the show until this old dusty bag of ****e was dragged on stage :bored: Me and my family were even saying how nice it was NOT to see Paul McCartney for once, and here he is :bored:

[Jayson]

Everyone seems to have such high expectations of a 70 year old man... of course his voice isn't what it used to be.

[Shaun]

I suppose there was no other song he could have done :/

'Why Don't We do it in the Road?' might've been a nice change.

[Marc]

**** music tonight really, could've like resurrected Freddie Mercury or something.

[GypsyGoth]

I was enjoying the show until this old dusty bag of ****e was dragged on stage :bored: Me and my family were even saying how nice it was NOT to see Paul McCartney for once, and here he is :bored:

:laugh2:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Could see and hear the fireworks from my window :amazed::amazed:
It was bloody amazing yet scary as well omg

[Doogle]

I'm sorry but I was expecting slightly more from the music.

[Shaun]

Saph... kill yourself.

[Angus]

Paul not doing so good

Well he is 70 years old, poor old chap.:joker:

[Scarlett.]

They could have at least have had Shayne Ward with his Greatest Hits coming out soon

[Marc]

Did Paul **** up?.... or was it his backing singers?

I think he missed his cue to start but he rectified it. Just a shame, I only just got over the 6 balloon fiasco

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I was enjoying the show until this old dusty bag of ****e was dragged on stage :bored: Me and my family were even saying how nice it was NOT to see Paul McCartney for once, and here he is :bored:

.................................

[Niall]

Should've had Goldfrapp perform tbh

[Jayson]

No Muse...

[Jayson]

NOs

[Shaun]

there was a serious lack of One True Voice tonight

[Jayson]

[Saph]

I loved that torch though :love: and the queen jumping out the helicopter

[Doogle]

That was absolutely amazing :lovedup:

I'm probably biased anyway but that really was special.

[Marc]

Why weren't Hearsay there

[Black Dagger]

Well that was all very lovely and I'm now excited for the diving, swimming and gymnastics. :pipe:

[Shaun]

Why weren't Hearsay there

I heard Myleene Klass is being used as a javelin spear, she had other commitments :(

[Marc]

I CAN'T WAIT TWO ****ING WEEKS TO SEE THEM. I just can't.

You should YouTube them or something

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

could've like resurrected Freddie Mercury or something.
that would have been epic actually, as with tupac

[Locke.]

Massively dragged out but was alright.

[Marc]

I'm actually surprised only 2 little things f'ed up really.

[Saph]

I felt so sorry for those countries that only had like 2 people, I hope they win something D;

[Marc]

I heard Myleene Klass is being used as a javelin spear, she had other commitments :(

She's so selfish, somebody should slap her

[Jordan.]

very disappointed with the ending.

I loved that torch though :love: and the queen jumping out the helicopter

Wait.... what? http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/Dead/DeadBanana.gif

Must have had BB on during this.

[Marc]

-watches the rain come down and put out that cauldron-

[Lee.]

To be fair, the world probably expected a legend like Macca.. Dizee Rascal and The Arctic Monkeys, not su much

[Marc]
