Would have got more response if he sung Lola..... ;-) ;-)

well Ray Davies and The Kinks are still as good s ever!!!!

someone made a good comment in the paper the other day regarding Paul McCartney - "Let it be" and I agree

So,,,the Pet Shop Boys and cyclists in origami masks a la Blue Peter, another imaginative use of recycled paper ? ;-) :-S :-S

Maybe you need to be there :-S

Is the Queen arriving later by parachute ?

Give me a clue someone? what does the newspaper represent? is it that we are a nation of recyclers? the power of the press maybe? :-S :-S lol

Just had a text from daughter in Germany on the start of her European holiday..... record the closing ceremony! She must have heard Spice Girls were on there. We went to see them years ago and they were good. Of course I only went because my daughter was too young to go on her own :-)

Lynda... I found photos today of the London meet with Gaynor. Hope you are you keeping the Tiara polished.

Did I just hear Ray Davies mentioned ? The Kinks ?

I'm back in my Olympic viewing seat:-D just waiting for the closing ceremony to start :-D :-D

I saw that earlier Gwynne, great isn't it, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that, or something similar tonight, it's going to be a night of surprises :-D

Maybe they should leave the entertainment to the athletes - if it's going to be mimed let them do it.

It must be blowing in my direction then Lynda ! Mind you it does look a little brighter now. - yes can see a chink of the sun now so you laying down the law must have worked !! :-D

It HAS to be o.k Joeva, it's the law :-D

I did read that the way the wind is blowing, it should blow away from the park, if the wind changes, everyone in Dagenham will just have to blow the smoke in the opposite direction :-D

Hope the weather is okay for this evening, it looks very overcast in my part of London at the moment not far from the Olympic Park. It may be the smoke from the big fire at Dagenham is up in the clouds making it look so dull.

I have only met one person who thought Macca should of sung, but she was someone who has liked him from the early days and felt disloyal by saying he couldn't sing now, but she did say maybe he should of given up singing a while back, so really she thinks he can't sing, but can't bring herself to say it :-D

As for The Spice girls, there songs were great for young kids, and they had a bit of oomph, A little girl who I loved dearly, and lived with us for a while, absolutely adored them, and she once cleared a dance floor, with her dancing to a spice girl song, she tragically died, so when the Spice girls sing, I shall think of her, and sod Posh if she can't crack at least a grin :-|

I think we can be fairly sure the Spice Girls will mime as only 2 can sing in tune. I'll watch it but I'll turn over for their bit, can't stand them

Gwynne

Dont get me wrong I am looking forward to the closing ceremony just not Paul McCartney lol (awaits onslaught from other scousers) :-P

As for The Spice Girls (GIRL POWER) Zig a Zig Arrrrrrr <3, just hope Posh smiles

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Will be sitting with me popcorn on sofa and watching, and enjoying :-), the athletes were amazing as were the volunteers and soldiers whom helped makes the games what they are ! Brilliant !!! :-D

Oh Gawd - the Spice Girls and Macca - think I'll give it a miss

London will be "lighting up" If they do the fireworks half as good as they do on New years eve, then it'll be amazing, really tempted to go and stand in the middle of London, and tell it I love it :-D

Looking forward to the Paralympics , just enough time, before they start, to see people I haven't seen since the Olympics began, my friends think I have abandoned them :-D
