It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Yepyou can hear that sound effect every chucking out time in Pontefract as drunks fall over the pub bins.

That bus was quite impressive! Russel Brand not so impressive.

We have a lot to be proud of in this country, it is just over the last 40 years we have been doubting ourselves due to Politicians of all coours. We needed these games to show what we can do and I hope now we will get out there and get on with getting this country back on its feet. Rant over sorry.

Agree 100% Baz. It was nice to see some quintessentially British stuff.
On the other hand: Brian May. Oh dear. Discuss.

Not bothered about Brian May. Loved the Who and Ray Davies but why was Annie Lennox there? Not made a decent record since The Tourists (I only want to be with you, So Good to Be Back Home, The Loneliest Man in The world, Blind Among The Flowers, etc) broke up.

Sorry Eurythmics fans!

Well said Baz, that's let hope that is the true legacy of the games.

The call for cars to take part in the celebrations was made in 2011. Bryan Young made a post on the T-Bar ( see here ) after receiving a flyer from the MGOC asking for volunteers.

Apparently you had to take part in twelve rehearsals. So well done to all of those who put in the time and effort and showed off their MG's :beer:

Eric Idle was the star of the show for me. :yesnod:

Oh and seeing a clutch of MG's flying the flag. :broon:

Well done guys.
