Who cares!  Fabulous things!

Wooooooooooo! a cyclist of fire!!!!!!!!!!!

[rogerzilla]

Mad Max, innit?

[Arch]

Mad Max, innit?

Nah, it's better than Mad Max.

It's STEAMPUNK Mad Max!

[Rykard]

that's what I was thinking

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Did a Christmas tree just go by?

[rogerzilla]

Turgid Coldpay dirges.  They don't sound much better without Chris Martin groaning over the top.

[Mike J]

I'm loving the steampunk vehicles 

[andygates]

Every art-car is better than the next! The APC beetle! The farm-equipment grasshopper!  It's a little Burn!

(and yes, I have flamethrower envy)

[rogerzilla]

I'd love to see a Beavis and Butt-Head commentary for this.  FIRE!  FIRE!  FIRE!

[red marley]

It's a bit like that Glastonbury in the 1980s when Michael Eavis let the travellers in for free.

Coldplay? *falls asleep*

I want the horse one. MFWHTBAB wants to make them for a living!

[rogerzilla]

Coldplay? *falls asleep*

Dad rock.

Especially if you're an excessively rich dad and your kids have stupid names.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

They're about as rock as blancmange.

Didn't they say it was made by BMW?

It's the new 7-series.  Only slightly less ugly than the E65.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

I thought they said they'd made stuff out of BMWs. I thought good, that's however many less on the roads.

No. Made OF BMWs...

MFWHTBAB spotted a Beetle in one of the vehicles, and apparently they are all made of scrap.

I want to do that too!

[Mike J]

Coldplay? *falls asleep*

At least it's not McCartney.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Even an endless loop of Hey Jude would be better than this boring old shite.

[red marley]

I'm currently watching this time shifted by about -15 minutes so I can fast forward through the interminable adverts. But now Coldplay have just come on. Should I waste some of my valuable minutes skipping Mr Martin?

The rest has been great though - knocks the socks of the Olympic closing ceremony.

Watch it, for the aerial dancing, the performers drifting in under balloons of lightbulbs, the stadium views.

The music is pretty immaterial.

[Jaded]

It's the best chuffing Coldplay gig I've ever seen!!!


Number of Coldplay gigs I have ever seen: 0

[Arch]

I'm too out of touch to know why I'm supposed to despise Coldplay, so I'm just getting in and enjoying it all!

[Jaded]

There's one song they surely can't play tonight.

Fix You

?

TBH I don't much mind Coldplay stuff, I just think the TV director should remember that this isn't a Coldplay gig, it is celebrating the end of the best Paralympics ever.
