An emo performance of the The Proclaimers? Haha!

Not the same without Frankie Boyle and his twin brother doing it

Brilliant aint it.

Nice of the crowd to sing along and respect the national anthem. I had a few concerns about that.

It's still a terrible anthem though, a dirge.

No tongues!

2 people on a stage as big as this! Didn't they realise how crap it would look. Beijing showed you need lots of people to give it a grand spectacle.

Why do I get the feeling that last bit wasnt in the plan.

Tanequil · 23/07/14 - 21:30

I wonder how much that decking would cost at B&Q.

CBFreak · 23/07/14 - 21:30

That was dull and a bad choice. The crowd really wanted to clap in tune to the original

BigFoot87 · 23/07/14 - 21:30

Oh no! Kissing! Horny Teenagers controlling the cameras again!*

* World Cup Forum joke.

I love it.

It's really like they shoved this entire thing together just a few days ago so far.

fefster · 23/07/14 - 21:31

This is starting to feel like Eurovision

lemoncurd · 23/07/14 - 21:31

I don't think that plane is adhering to the 1,000' rule!

Lunatic Dreyfus · 23/07/14 - 21:31

All that prancing around to get a snog.

That lad was desperate.

storminmike · 23/07/14 - 21:31

....is this a 2012 cut n paste

Tanequil · 23/07/14 - 21:32

I have not heard of the bloke.

I prefer my anthems rousing and about the land and people, not an octogenarian that has no relevance to me.

He cycled round the world and then across both the America's. Two brilliant TV series he done with them.

Tanequil · 23/07/14 - 21:33

Is the baton lit or is it just a stick.
