Al Bundy Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Enjoyed the games, it all went off without protests and much controversy. Everyone loved the Tom Cruise stunt at the end.....a bit of fun......all but one miserable news outlet....... Yes, those perma miseries at the Guardian.... State of this. "Then finally, as hotly trailed, actual Tom Cruise appeared standing on the lip of the stadium roof, before jumping to his tragic and bloody death. Not really. Cruise was instead lowered on a wire. Much had been made beforehand of his planned “death defying stunt” which slightly lost its edge when it emerged parts of it had been pre-recorded and he is patently walking around not actually dead at all. So … slight Buzz kill" 😂😂😂 But a Cameroon Rapper was amazing. "It did drag at moments. There was a very long minor chord ominous expressive dance number. There was a chaotic moment as all the athletes ran on stage and had to be told to get off before they ruined it. A band called Phoenix played some grumpy French pub rock. A French Cambodian rapper was pretty amazing" Gosh, ain't they so predictable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things had worked out better the UK would have won 4 golds instead of just the 1 in the Athletics. Normally the UK pick up a gold medal in the boxing and win more gold medals in the sailing and cycling. Finishing third behind only the USA and China in the medal count table is a good achievement.
