Ok. I won't make it to 4am, but Closing Ceremony, anyone?

[numptynoelle]

I think it's best to be upfront about this. I won't see it out.

But, I'm hoping our gallant and (un)official Olympic correspondent Teapot is about to carry on her sterling work? :biggrin3:

Anyone else watching?

 

[Honey08]

I tuned in, it said 11.30, but it's just been wittering and I'm dozing off already so am giving up!

 

[numptynoelle]

Looks like it's getting underway now!

Shiny! :smile3:

 

[teapot]

I'll try but slightly concerned about what they're going to fill it with for four hours!

 

[numptynoelle]

Me too! That why I was hoping you were about :tongue3:

 

[Spilletta]

I'm here, but not sure for long. I've missed loads of the live action over the last two weeks as normally need to be up about 5am each day, but can have bit of a lie in tomorrow.

 

[teapot]

Shall do my best - think I've watched a bit too much sport over the past two weeks.

 

[teapot]

Here we have the budget children's choir...

 

[numptynoelle]

I think that's in Closing Ceremony bingo - must have children's choir.

 

[numptynoelle]

"fruit-based headwear" :biggrin3:

 

[teapot]

How many of the GB team are still in Rio? It's going to be a tiny team showing given how many are home.

*giant Brazilian flag*

 

[teapot]

Also for bingo - giant Brazilian flag

 

[teapot]

BBC commentary plugging gaps

 

[teapot]

 

[numptynoelle]

I was wondering that! Suppose most of the athletics team are still there? Andy Murray has finished another tournament since he won his medal...(he lost the Cincinnati final, if anyone's counting :frown3

 

[numptynoelle]

Bloody hell, you knocked that one up quick :tongue3:

 

[teapot]

There's this thing called google :wink3:

 

[teapot]

I'm adding 'how many times are we reminded that we beat China'.

Sad for Murray

 

[numptynoelle]

There's this thing called google :wink3:

Shush, don't give away your secrets! :biggrin3:

 

[numptynoelle]

Let's pop that one over K-Middy - I don't think she's there, and it's a good position for bingo :tongue3:

 

[Spilletta]

For some reason, I can remember the Beijing closing ceremony clear as any thing with the red London bus, Leona Lewis and David Beckham! I wish I could make this ceremony through to the Tokyo handover. So far, I have been more engaged with H&H forum as nothing's caught my eye so far on the Rio closing ceremony...

Good plan

You mean this fine moment six minutes in, where GB collectively started the resignation that it was going to be crap for four years? https://youtu.be/QprSn_D31U0

OMG the music brings back so many memories and Chris Hoy on a bike!

 

[numptynoelle]

Bless, Hazel is filling the gaps SO hard!

 

[teapot]

Are we really wearing flashing shoes?! Oh Stella, Stella Stella Stella...

 

[numptynoelle]

Oh god, that Beijing video - the point where where we all went, "oh balls, what have we done" - at least it happened that way round, rather than us being all chipper and it all being an ultimate poo show :tongue3:

 

[numptynoelle]

I had flashing shoes when I was a kid #supercool

 

[numptynoelle]

Wee bit of drizzle in Rio...

ETS: Or is that part of the show with the teeny tiny umbrellas? I'm confused! Surely that makes it slippy for the dancers..(yes, I've turned into my mother)

 

[teapot]

Hahaha wearing poncho thingys - are we in Britain?

 

[numptynoelle]

Poncho + light up shoes = September issue of Vogue.

Or...maybe not.
