Just for fun - London 2012

[Dawn]

Having had my viewing of the Olympic closing ceremony spoilt by the appearance of David Beckham I want to know what you DON'T want to see at the opening or closing ceremonies at London 2012.

Just a bit of fun.

I don't want to see any Beckham, Mick Jagger, Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, anyone from the cast of Eastenders, those Pearly Kings and Queens, Tony Blair or anyone doing the Lambeth Walk. :rolleyes008:

[Tink]

No Mick? I don't know about that, Dawn. What about Sir Elton? I can live without Paul, never was my favorite.

How about the Royals? Any of those you care to see or not? I think the Sons of Princess Diana would be good to see! :yes:

What ever happened to Beatrix, by the way?

[Dawn]

I'm guessing the royals will be out in force which is fine. Paul is from Liverpool. Mick is too old and embarassing now. *cringe*

Sir Elton would be fine but I'm sure we have more modern Londoners we can showcase. It's my home city - I don't want to see embarassing stereotypes. :(

[Tink]

Oh they aren't stereotypes! They are classics! :D Mick has so much energy that it's scary in a person his age. :yes:

No matter, I'm not up on modern anything! :lol: So who qualifies as a modern Londoner? (Don't just give me names now-I won't recognize them! :lol: I'll need a definition to go with it)! :D

[Taja]

Preferrably no celebrities at all! The Olympics aren't about celebrities.

Would tolerate a few high-ranking royals, but really don't want to hear about Sir or Lady or Lord This or That. They should be mentioned only if they are representing their country in a high-level, official capacity.

I would have loved to see Freddy Mercury open the 2012 games with 'We will Rock You' but alas it will more likely be someone like Chas and Dave. :(

[luvthemouse]

How about Amy Winehouse? Is she a modern Londoner? :shocked025:

[Val]

I think I may just not have bbc on in my house for the next 4 years ....lol
I have a fear this is all we will hear about until it is time to pass the torch on.

[Britchick]

no red bus with some has been playing guitar and an x factor winner:rolleyes008:

:lol:

[Steven]

Boris Johnson. :|

[Beccaberry]

NO Amy Winehouse (sorry krista and johnie :) ) NO Beatles impersonators...

[Dizneyblonde]

I could open it wearing my Snow White outfit :D

[Beccaberry]

EXCELLENT idea!

[luvthemouse]

NO Amy Winehouse (sorry krista and johnie :) ) NO Beatles impersonators...

You're right...the way she's going, I doubt she'll last out the year...

[Dizneyblonde]

You'd have to have the words up on a karaoke machine for me though.

I'd need dancing lessons too.

[Beccaberry]

Jon has two suggestions...Simon Cowell and Hugh Grant...with a special guest star :winK:

[Johnie]

You've got 4 years to practice!

I love Amy Winehouse's voice but that girl is a hot mess!

[Dizneyblonde]

I'll mime to Amy's voice then!!!

It worked this year in Beijing :lol:

[Beccaberry]

OOOOOOOOOOO TOUCHE!!!

[Dizneyblonde]

Well how un PC was it to replace a child with a beautiful voice but not quite such a beautiful face with one that couldn't sing but was supposedly typically Chinese!!!

[Dizneyblonde]

Exactly that was just at the beginning!!!
