Duran Duran have been chosen to do the England bit of the Olympic concert.

Good eh? smile

No. I know you couldn't give a flying f-. Just thought I'd mention it.

You may well blush, glamma! grin

glammanana Fri 04-May-12 22:44:43

Whats wrong with The Spice Girls ? blush

Actually they are still contemporary! They're on tour at the moment. They're always on tour somewhere. And put out new records.

Anagram Fri 04-May-12 22:36:07

Of course not!

But aren't we supposed to be showing the rest of the world what's Great about Britain? I just think a more contemporary band might have given a better impression.

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 22:16:53

They might be a bit ancient, a bit podgy and a bit gone to seed, like the rest of us, but that doesn't mean they're not still good musicians.

Or does it have to be only eye candy?

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 22:05:24

no

I see what you mean, jingl, but I'm sure johanna didn't mean it to come across that way.

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 22:02:28

right o.

Just thought it was an unpleasant way of expressing an opinion.

I don't know any of the people you are talking about! What's wrong with Caruso?

Anagram Fri 04-May-12 21:58:38

johanna is only voicing what the rest of us are thinking, jingl! grin

Unless, of course, there are others out there who haven't dared to yet declared their support?

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 21:53:33

Mind you, that hasn't stopped me before...........

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 21:52:57

I wrote a rude reply johanna. But deleted cause if I hadn't 'they' would have done.

johanna Fri 04-May-12 21:47:45

Duran Duran?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Agreed Annobel Brian May IS brilliant grin

Annobel Fri 04-May-12 20:29:16

Brian May IS brilliant!

whenim64 Fri 04-May-12 20:16:39

As long as they don't wheel out Elton John and Paul McCartney - Brian May was brilliant at that concert!

Anagram Fri 04-May-12 20:16:00

Unlike that other lot...grin

Anagram Fri 04-May-12 20:15:17

Don't remind me, Annobel! grin

At least the Stereophonics and Snow Patrol are relatively new bands....

Annobel Fri 04-May-12 20:08:15

Wasn't that the Golden Jubilee Concert with Brian May doing his stuff from the top of the Palace?

imjingl Fri 04-May-12 19:30:25

Don't you remember the concert they had outside Buck House a while back. Can't remember what it was for. But it was really good! It'll be like that.

Jacey Fri 04-May-12 19:28:20
