Oh the shame of it.

I know.

Boris bumbling on was the best bit.

I'm so embarrassed.

 

It all had the look of "What? *This* Sunday?" about it.

I'm looking forward to 2016 already.

 

We'll need to be payout left right and centre to be ready for 2012

 

Oh, I'd heard the Shipping Forecast was somehow going to be involved
andI was going to watch it for that. Care to give a precis?

 

Isn't Leona Lewis fugly!

 

Nope, sorry. You've whooshed me there.

 

Who thought she should sing Whole Lotte Love?

I was praying that Robbie Williams would pop up from somewhere and
make it a bit more of a show.

 

Thank you. I was trying to work out how to describe it to someone and
that's *perfect*.

September 2012 can't come fast enough...

 

Have you seen Wiggins' missus?????/

 

Was that the bit with the new Led Zeppelin song?
They should have played 'Ramble On' while he was talking.

 

That fight with Mike Tyson didn't help.

 

I had to look it up too ..

I laughed at the review in the Guardian :

"Consensus here is that Boris looked like a scruffy prep school
boy.They've yet to decide the presentation game for London. He looked
like he was lobbying for conkers"

Paul.

 

oops, Telegraph. Whatever.

P.

 

It feels good not to be a UK taxpayer anymore.

 

Job in Belgium as of two months ago.

 

She's the one that decided she couldn't sing, "Gonna give you
every inch of my love!", isn't she? I see it's up on iPlayer now. I'll
have to watch, but you guys make it sound like a train wreck in slow
motion...

She's got thick legs!

OK, it wasn't as bad as that, but it didn't rise anywhere above
"ordinary". £2,000,000 to play a pop song and have David Beckham kick
a football? Surely UK society has lost all perspective on "celebrities"!
