I was not overwhelmed to be honest about the closing ceremony. i have a top sounding tv/surround sound and the sound did not sound right to me. also out of all the acts and people ( i spelt that right for GNV


but the games showed that this country can beat the world both past and present. even the top people ( :wink: ) in the olympic commitee agreed that these were the greatest ever games. London is the greatest city on earth, i have been saying that for years, and so it has been proved. not a single hiccup and the world loved every minute of the greatest show on earth.
The best things personally for me were the lighting of the flame which is a work of art btw. Watching the greatest swimmer ever, the greatest short distance runner ever, and saw a Somalian runner who came here as a child, and now celebrates being british, running and winning the 10 and 5 thousand meters. when Mo came around that final bend I was up and jumping for him to win. His pride in being british was a brilliant thing to witness for me in these games. Murray at last dumping a top class tennis player in a final was fantastic and all the others who have bloody well made my year/decade/life, take your pick at these games. I am on a huge downer now they have finished, but i hope that the legacy left by these games is to force kids to play sport and not to sit on there bums getting fatter by the day, and taking that into adulthood. cameron had better get his bum into action and do what he has promised to do, with every single primary school kid, and not have any whinging from the teachers either would be nice.
the national lottery fund should be used even more to help kids of all ages and creeds and locations, to take up sport. it is a social thing, it is a healthy thing, and let us get rid of this everyone gets a prize culture. in life there are always winners and losers, and the quicker kids come to realise that fact of life, the easier it will be for them to accept that fact.
well done all of the GB team, i salute you. :thumbup::thumbup: i now look forward to Rio and the hope that this huge britishness can continue long after the games have ended, and that the legacy of these games will be there for us all to see in 2016.
