I RT'd a LOT last night, I'm not really sure how half my twitter list didn't just unfollow me :-P
Tweets from the Closing Ceremony
They actually start a little before the ceremony and go right through to this morning, start from the bottom up and sorry they're so badly formatted
Laura Robson @laurarobson5
YES RT @LeBruce: @laurarobson5 I think a 5ive and S Club 7 mash-up of Keep on Movin and Don't stop Movin would've been epic!

Glimpses of Team GB this afternoon suggest their closing ceremony outfits may be sparkly but less ridic than the opening ceremony!
- END -
The Opening Ceremony was better but then that was to be expected and I'm not ALL that surprised they had sound problems- that many mics wandering around a stadium something's bound to go wrong :-| Still I LOVED Eric Idle and all the Queen bits and the Kaiser Chiefs being The Who as well as The Who being themselves and maybe I'm not the bigges JessieJ fan (and I still maintain tehre are SO MANY people who could have done that Queen number better) but she was actually fine. Um... not convinced by the fashion section I fear but I loved loved loved the Phoenix & the dancers <3
So my first real twitter Olympics was lots of fun and I CAN'T WAIT for the Paralympics to start. Ages back I was told that of all the ceremonies the Paralympic Opener is going to be the best so we'll see...
