Olympic mascots

Cringe, cringe!

When I think of the wealth of British talent in all genres of music (classical, folk etc.) and of art these grim and trashy choices are appalling. Give me the Cultural Olympiad any day - they have had a lot of criticism but they have, IMHO, come up with some good stuff and provided encouragement for British performers and artists.

WHAT ! [hmmm]

Woop woop!

'Stripping lollipop ladies, Russell Brand singing the Sex Pistols and ballet will all feature at the London Olympics closing ceremony, it was revealed yesterday.

The show, A Symphony of British Music, will see dozens of stars singing their hits in a multi-million-pound extravaganza.

Highlights include performances by Queen, Take That, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Ray Davies, The Pet Shop Boys and Madness. Emeli Sande is due to open the show and One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah and Jessie J will all play.'

Can't wait!

WHAT!????????

A joke, perleease!

Thinking of our local lollipop lady![cringe]emoticon!

They are distinctly off-putting but not so tacky as stripping lollypop ladies. I do hope that the latter is just a silly rumour.

No please tell ?

Worse than the Jubilee, I couldn't watch that either!

Talking of embarrassing, have you seen the line-up for the Closing Ceremony.....?

I agree Mishap, I'm finding the whole olympic thing embarrassing.
I don't want it to go wrong, but I'm cringing inside!
