????Oh my the Chinese will be a hard act to follow. What a shambles the British effort was, very embarrassing indeed. A double decker bus, beckham, an xfactor winner, a sweaty aging rock star, dancers with umbrellas throwng newspapers everywhere. I guess a good symbol of modern day Britain. I fear our efforts will always be second class to China. This might show new labour off for what they are and what they have done to our once great country ?????????й????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ɡ????????????????????????????????????????????й??????????????????????????
????The dancing was a bit straggly in the " London " routine . After seeing all the cyclists taking part,the Chinese will think "Nobody can afford cars in London " ???????????б????е??????Щ???????????????衣???????Щ???????г????????????????й????????????????????????????? ???? ????The British "teaser" was ok, but we were disappointed to see the performer in the wheelchair was not in fact disabled but was leaping around later in the dance. ???????????????????????????????λ?????ε?????????????м??????--??????????赸?е?????????? --- ??????????????
????Did anyone else this the 'London 8 minutes' presentation was - dare I say it - rubbish!? Leona sang her heart out on top of a ladder, on top of a bus whilst 20 contemporary dancers did their stuff way below. It was just so low key relative to what had gone on before it. ?????????????????????????Ρ????8????????????????--??????--????????Leona????????????????????裬?????????С??ζ??????????????????20???????????°??衣????????Щ?????????????????????? ???? ????But oh, our offering at the closing ceremony was embarrassing.A red bus,a pop singer, an ageing rocker and an overpaid ball kicker was awful. Where was our great Island heritage portrayed in all this flummery? ???????????????????????涪????????????????????и??????????????????и???????????н??????????????? -- ????ж??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

????I've just watched the Olympic closing ceremony, and as I feared, Britain's contribution was embarassing and totally pathetic - I just hope they manage to do better in 2012. It will obviously be impossible to rival the spectacular pageant that Beijing provided, but I thought the dancing (if you can call that dancing) and the Leona Lewis/Jimmy Page effort was just pitiful. Hopefully, we can ditch all this government inspired 'Cool Britannia' garbage and present something a bit more slick and professional. ????????????????????????????????????涪???????????????????????????2012??????????????????????????????????????????????????????Щ?赸????????????????赸??????????????????????????????????????????????????Щ????????????е??????????????Щ???????????????????
????I agree that Adrian Childs was poor: he seemed to think that he was on the One Show.???? ????The London Bus routine was pretty much rubbish ... the music was poor and everything smacked of pop culture. Period.?? ????The Games themselves were superbly run. The BBC was teetering on the brink of overblown nationalism, however. ???????????Adrian Childs??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????ж?????????????????ζ???? ??????????????÷???????bbc?й????????????????????bbc????????????????????
?? I'm staying in Singapore and feel embarrassed to go to work tomorrow after that dreadful showing by London 2012???? ????????????????????2012????????????????????????????????о??????Ρ?
????I live in Germany and, like the person from Singapore, will be ashamed to meet my friends tomorrow???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????Jimmy Page and David Beckham have been massive icons of British popular culture. I'm not especially a fan of either, but they perfectly suited to the ceremony.???? ????Not bothered either way about Leona whatshername, but the chief embarrassment, reducing us instantly to laughing stock of the world and diminishing at a stroke the achievements of our athletes, was the presence of Boris Bloody Johnson!!! This man symbolizes everything wrong with Britain - a deeply untalented buffoon, with a thoroughly sinister interior. Get him off the stage once and for all. ????Jimmy Page??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????Leona???????????????????????????????mm??????????????????????????????????????????Ц?????????????????????????????????????Boris Johnson?????????????г?????????????????????????????????????????????????????С??????????????????????????????
????When I heard about the plans for the London presentation, including the "arrangement" of the national anthem and the rehashed 70s rock music, I thought "it can't possibly be as bad as I'm imagining it". Well, it wasn't. It was a thousand, toe-curlingly hideous times worse. Against the dignity, seriousness and power of the Chinese displays, it was so far beyond embarrassing, my brain has already almost forgotten it, in a desperate parom of self-defence. ??????????????????????????????????????????70?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????й???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????omg, I hope our eight minutes during the closing ceremony is not a foretaste of the tackiness to come in four years time. "???? ????It felt a lot longer than eight minutes..... Every cringe and every gasp of horror made it feel like a lifetime!???? ????If that is all we have to offer, lets hope the rest of the world has popped out down the pub when we take centre stage.???? ????Our athletes deserve much better than this, they did us proud in Beijing (lets not forget the Paralympics too) and will continue to do so. ???????????????????????8???????????????????????????????????? ?????????о????8??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ва???????????????????
????Mind you, from the wretched logo to the vacuous miming chick to David Bloody Beckham, it was all a perfect reflection of London and England as they now are: cheap, tatty, shallow, and above all laughing enormously at their own jokes while the rest of the world looks on with contempt. Perfect. ???? ????Now, 2012... where can I go to avoid it all? Please can I move to China? ?????????2012?????????????????????????????????????й??????
????I have been glued to the Olympics constantly and very proud of Team GB but my god what on earth was that 8 minute section in the closing ceremony.???? ????The chinese put on a fantastic show and we have basically a red bus and a sparkler.???? ????Who ever put this together should be sacked before we are embarressed anymore.???? ????By the way BBC should be given a gold medal for the coverage, first class. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????8??????????????? ?????й???????????????????????????????????????Щ???????????????κ????????????????????? ????????Щ????????????????????????????????????????? ????ps??bbc?????????????????????????

????I have a Grandson living and working in Beijing and I only hope he stays under cover until the humilation dies down a little. It certainly will never go away. ???? ????In 8 mins we have become the laughing stock of the world.???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????С?????????????????????????? ???? ????????8?????????????????Ц??
????I thought it was fine. Are we going to have to look forward to another four years of whingeing about the Olympics? If so, I'm glad I'm living in China.???? ????????????????????????? ????????ò??????????????ò?????????????????????????????????????????????????????й???

????Funny how the Beijing Olympics had absolutely nothing to do with Beijing. They were all about China. But the London Olympics are apparently all about London. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????й?????????????????????????й? ???? ???? ????Is anyone else finding this all a bit shabby after the chinese dancing etc ???? ????????????з???????й????赸????????????????????????? ???? ????Why don't my buses look like that? ???? ?????????????????????????????????
????The Chinese did it again the closing was amazing. First class and out of this world. The one negative was the London Show what in the heck was that. In Athens when the Chinese did there welccome to show it was amazing and you knew you where going to get something special in Beijing. I hope that London does better than what they showed to-day. ?????й??????????????????????????????NB???????????????????磡Ψ?????????????????????8??????????????????????й?????????λ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ú?Щ??
????Replicate it, we don??t have a chance it hell. For one thing we??ll be lucky to find 1% of the volunteers from Beijing. Perhaps all the people claiming on benefits should be forced to volunteer !!!???? ????Smith, London ??????????,????????TMD????.????????????????????????????????????1%??????.????????????????????????????????.
????Forget about the image of Myra Hindley. What about the image of some guy painting graffiti on a wall? What are we trying to say here? "Come to London, where criminal disfigurement of public property is welcomed and celebrated?!"???? ????????Myra Hindley???????.??????????????????????????????????????????????,??????????????????????????????.
????Dont know what to laugh more at - the tacky 8 minutes of rubbish the UK put on in Beijing or the smug comments on here about how "At least we are free.." Last time I looked the UK was the most watched (CCTV) nation on earth and we have a government that has used fear and hate to strip us of freedoms on a daily basis. The only difference between the UK and China is that they wasted billions more than we can afford to- but Im sure we'll waste as much as we can. But freedom?? Dont make me laugh!???? ????Terry Roberts, Shropshire ????????????Ц??,????????????????8????????????????????????????"???????????????",??????????????????????????????????(CCTV???????????????,??????????)?????,?????????????????????????????,?й?????????Ψ??????????????????????????????????????,?????????????????????????????????.????????,??????Ц??.
????The Chinese people seem to love all things western (David Beckham included by the looks of it) but in return all we can do is bad mouth them and show no respect. What does that say about us.???? ????There??s an old saying, treat people the same as how you would like to be treated.???? ????Rob, London ???? ?????й???????????????????????????(??????????),???????????????????????????????????????. ?????о?????,????????????????????????????
