London 2012

[red.neon]

It'll be one of the most memorable nights of my life tbh.
I cant wait to see Ice Skating Tea Cups and Fish and chips! I'd love to see how they bring the english culture into the Opening ceremony, and the closing ceremony, there the only things i watch!!

Lol

Hoping to get tickets to see the opening ceremony!

We have 1 thing that MANY countries dont have... and thats the Queen. She could go around our Olympic stadium in her golden kart thingy...

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets screwed up, just like everything else in this God forsaken country.

I cant possibly see how London can top Beijing. I mean, the opening ceremony and closing ceremony were unreal. London is busy enough, I dread to thing what it's going to be like with the Olympics on. Everything from the design of the building (Bird's Nest, Water Cube) to the ideas to the fantastic firework routine made Beijing a pleasure to watch. I cant see London doing anything better or doing anything different then what Beijing done. Spending £400,000 on a Logo a 5 year old could do is just a sign of how its going to be. I love the Olympics, I drove my parents mad sleeping of a day and staying up from 1am - 6am to watch it. But I really cant see London being anything as special as what Beijing was.

Tbh, I thought that there was a lot of bad Judges during the Diving events.

The Chinese divers could have done a belly flop and still would have been given 10 out of 10. Tom Daley and Blake Aldridge were not scored correctly in my opinion...

I hate the way that people just judge Beijing on the opening ceremony and stadiums. There is more to the Olympics than that... At least the London games will have a lasting legacy accross the city, and hopefully the country. China spent a ridiculous amount of money on the opening ceremony which really isn't necessary. Those of you who say the olympics will be crap, you'd be the one complaining if you were a Londoner and had to pay for alot of it. That corner of Beijing will be empty for years to come, but in London they are at least planning to put the venues and stadiums to good use after the games.

Well yea I was actually explaining why I didnt say 'british' at the start, its because I ALWAYS say English.

I wasnt trying to say its just about me :s

Yeah I heard about them faking fireworks in their opening show, it was camera trickery or something right?

Oh and can you remember the Chinese bands that where singing on the closing show? They wasnt even singing live o.O

Unlike our Leona Lewis woo

Like Leoni Lewis at the Echo Awards*

[Imp!]

No the London 2012 Party after the Beijing Games had ended was because London had officially became the HOST City on that day... And im sure it was there to get peoples spirits up to the run up of the London 2012 games

get their spirits up? Erm they still have to wait 4 more years >.>
