I turned off when the athletes came out, it was both shit AND boring
also, madness = shit, pet shop boy s= uber shit, emili Sandi = flat, 1 direction = bent...

I want to know who Sande is sleeping with to get gigs at both ceremonies
The newspapers theme was also supremely misguided, I was half expecting Andy Coulson and Rebecca Brooks to do a duet on Milly Dowler's grave

is this Sande woman actually famous?
all the others (even that boy band and the naked dryad woman) I recognised their songs vaguely, but not hers

She sang the chorus on a Professor Green song
and has had one solo 'hit'

You are missing nothing in either case

My only theory is that she's Scottish
and they've got quotas to fill

It was astonishingly poorly thought out
and even without the leverson enquiry, faintly bizarre

i was hoping it was all going to be

Agreed
Our newspapers are one of the things we should be most ashamed of as a nation. Along with Russell Brand and Liam Gallagher.

Exactly, just because we've only just noticed what a sordid bunch of con artists the tabloid journalists are
doesn't mean that the rest of the world hasn't looked down on them with some scorn for years

Russell Brand throwing sweets to athletes

Did you see Brazil's little party piece?!
Drug tests are going to be VERY different in 2016. "I'm sorry Mr Bolt, there was insufficient LSD in your piss test, get out"

Nah, I fucked off to bed the second I saw "beady eye" written on the drum kit.
I appreciate Oasis are popular even though I fucking hate them, so I'm not having a hissy fit about that, but I knew Gallagher Junior would rape whatever song they chose back to stone age. Checked this morning and lo, I was right.

I don't think it was any worse than it was in '96 frankly
It's the same principle as if you divide anything by zero it ends up as zero
