Well, that was pretty spectacular. Enjoyed it greatly. Finishing with The Who was so right.
The Who were the best part of the whole ceremony. Them and Eric Idle.

Daltry's voice sounded great as well for an ageing rocker.The Who were the best part of the whole ceremony. Them and Eric Idle.
Please no Jessi J, please no Jessie J, please no Jessie J...
If she sat on my face I wouldn't say a word. well...maybe a couple of muffled ones.Would you be saying that if she had her hand on your crotch?
Didn't he sing, "music now is shit, when you look at it"? Or was I hearing things?Unfortunately even Ray Davies faltered a little at times.
Anyway, if the opening ceremony was 'Welcome to London' then large parts of the closing ceremony were 'Right you can all fuck off home now'. I initially thought Eric Idle had been forced to drop 'life's a piece of shit, when you look at it'
I'm sad it's over, and I was anti-Olympics before it began!
Really annoyed that I feel I let my kids down by not taking them to any events. Then again, with the high prices and the whole fiasco over ticket availability, it was probably a wise move.
As for the closing ceremony, the least said the better.
Oh the irony of Jessie J singing Price Tag, from the back of a new Rolls-Royce!
She's left him for Harry, the poor girl waited so long that Harry turned into the better looking brother so she's switched.A few afterthoughts, as there are bound to be:
I'd have loved the Stones to have been featured too, even if only on video footage, and am surprised Elton John wasn't there in an outrageous drag costume, although some of his music was noticeably present with The Who and Tommy.
Where was William? Kate and Harry looked very cosy sitting together again with a glaringly empty seat where our future king should very have been sitting. Was he somewhere else and I missed it and, if so, why was Kate not with him rather than Harry?
