(UK Only I regret to say).

It was inspiring, never had any idea the games started from a doctor's idea, always thought they were originated by the Olympic Organistion.

I didn't know either mate.

But it is inspiring that there were/are such people...I know attitudes have changed considerably since that time...as have the Law/s and rightly so....whilst I enjoyed some of the events in the recent olympics (thought the Opening Ceremnoy was for me by far the best - it was like a Homage to what "Britain/Briton" was, and is about) - I am really looking forward to the Paralympics.

A link to all the events/timetable etcetera. Go Team GB I say!

Nice one mate do you know where you will be? Ive got tickets for the Olympic stadium on the 2nd Sept

I'm at Heathrow for the duration, making sure they all end up in the right place. So if you see some people trying to row up and own the stadium on 2nd, you'll know I fcuked up!

I'll look out for them

Stephen Hawking at the opening ceremony.
Live CH4 now. It promises to be good

Significant symbology already and Rihanna too? Spooky

Yeah, looks like some NWO messages put into the ceremony as well as the message of people with less able bodies competing.

Chortle.

The show, called Enlightenment, which features will later urge the 62,000-strong crowd to take part in the world's largest 'apple crunch' as each spectator is given an apple to bite at the same time.

This is going to be good. I might go out into the street and listen out for it when it happens. I can hear the music beat and see the sky glowing outside now, as it is dark enough.

I'm off to the athletics with the wife and kids on Tuesday night, really looking forward to it

Fantastic spectacle the team GB entrance is.

In my uniform watching it with a tear in my eye....

I am a bit sad but i was working on the Paralympics until 7, so I think I'm allowed.
