Yes, The Damned still gig, but only Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible exist of the original line up.

Oh, and good on George Michael for plugging his latest single at the Closing Ceremony. He's gone up in my estimations!

congratulations to george michael for getting through the whole show without any illegal substance related shenanigans!

I think people are disappointed because Danny Boyle showed with the opening ceremony that Britain could be creative, fresh, entertaining and modern. The closing ceremony seemed like such a wasted opportunity. A symphony of british music? Fine if that is your plan go for it but at least do it properly.

It's been over for weeks now but Weymouth is still refusing to take down all it's London 2012 flags. I have a horrible feeling they'll still be flying this time next year.

Won't they be replace with Christmas lights soon?

Well, this is where it gets annoying. Weymouth has permanantly taken down its fairy lights in favour of these new, horrible laser-light display beacons. They are truly ghastly, don't work properly and just look awful. Basically, there are now about 8 laser towers spaced across the seafront which project 'an amazing light display out onto the ocean'. In reality it just looks like half a dozen people are waving around laser-pointers.

This is what they're meant to look like:

Not bad, eh? Now take away the special effects and it just looks horrible.
