mjmooney Posted August 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2012 There were several sections of it that moved me. Out to have a piss or get another beer. Usually the ones involving Jessie J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Everyone seems to hate Jessie J. Is it just because she's a bit of a loud-mouth? She's clearly quite talented, and although far from being my cup of tea, I don't think I could think of anyone better to perform her role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 My main issue with Jessie J is that she's a talented guitarist/folksy singer who sold her soul for a record deal and went out Brrrrrraping her way to fame and fortune at the behest of some A&R man.

Voinjama Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just been watching the Sky Sports News. Predictably after a successful Olympic games, they are now talking about bidding again for the 2028 games. See my post on the previous page as to why that bid will be waste of money. Way too soon. Beijing also hosted a very successful games too but they wont bid again. With the world championships coming in 2017, I think the only thing left for England to do is the world cup. All efforts should go towards that, and i think FIFA will have noticed how well London/England did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I probably watched more sport in a fortnight than I had in the whole of last year. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be very accessible for UK fans and there is no way that they will give the bid to London 4 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid and Istanbul are in Europe so if they get it, it wont be Paris 2024. But if it goes to Tokyo, then it will be Paris 2024. Either way my opinion is that London hosted a good games but lets just leave it at that. Don't be greedy trying to get another so soon just because they went well. There are at least 10 major cities who have never hosted it but want to. The IOC will give it to them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I thought the closing ceremony was pretty good, usual over reactions not a surprise but I think it was decent show. Jessie J would certainly get it though, she looks absolute filth (and swings both ways) = WIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2012 it's what I feared the opening junket would be like (but wasn't). Perfect description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main issue with her is she acts like she's some sort of music guru who's been around the business for 50+ years. On The Voice, which I didn't watch very much of at all, she was infuriatingly annoying. The couple of times I was forced to endure some of that show, she was easily the worst part of it (although Danny from The Script runs her close) She's clearly talented, she does have a great voice. And she's pretty fit. But she is clearly a massive, huge, gigantic dickhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 All three candidates for the 2020 Olympics are high-risk choices, aren't they? Big questions have to be asked of Madrid's ability to organise a good Games, with Spain's credit crisis still going on. Istanbul is earthquake-prone and is part of a country that is not as developed as Europe or Japan, which could pose a hurdle to organisation efforts (just look at India's organisation of the last Commonwealth Games). Tokyo is probably the best choice of the lot, but will the memories of last year's tsunami disaster continue to linger in the next few years? Plus, I'm not sure if the Japanese government are more concerned with post-tsunami rebuilding efforts or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo should get it, but I think it will be Istanbul. Perennial Olympic bidders like Toronto and New York would be a shoe in if they had bid for 2020.

Voinjama Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I though the closing ceremony was ok, enjoyed the music, but I have a very short attention span. After 2 hours, I start to fidget, whereas some people can sit through a 3 or 4 hour show/film and be comfortable throughout. I dont find Jessie J attractive at all. Why is it me and Stevo985 always disagree on the attractiveness of girls. There must be 1 girl we both find attractive, or both find unattractive.

There must be 1 girl we both find attractive, or both find unattractive. Because you have by far the worst taste in women I've ever experienced To be fair, I'm not that into Jessie J's looks. She looks a bit filthy, which is a turn on, but she's not that fit. I don't think, if she wasn't famous, anyone would pay that much attention to her. I'd end up headbutting her to death if I was ever close enough to decide if she was fit in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
