        Football without Origi is nothing

          That run in the Triathlon by Brownlee (bigger bro) was damn quick. 90 seconds slower than Farrah for his 10k Gold but he'd swam 1,500 meters and done 40k on the bike immediately before!!!

              Anyone going to the Paralymics?

              Tickets are more or less sold out.

                Been trying to get some as I really want to go down to the park before the yoof get in and graffiti the stadium with giant cocks.

                  Really? Blimey, that's good news. I feared they would be completely ignored after the main event. I feel bad for not giving a **** about it but I'll try and watch some.

                    I thought I would go down and have a wander round the Olympic Park and go in that Orbit thingy, but the tickets are all sold out.

                    Only available tickets for the Stadium are the Opening and Closing ceremonies, cheapest available tickets are £300.

                      Park tickets went first but they are releasing more event tickets in the same way as they did for the Olympics in dribs and drabs via the website.

                      Show's what effect the Olympics has had. If they sell out the Paraolympics it will be the first time in its history.

                        Blimey.

                        I really wanted to go, just to experience it really.

                        Looks like it's not gonna happen.
                        Oh I don't know.

                          Did anyone see SSN last night after that Olympics highlights show? They had the numbers from other sports and their clubs around the country. Everything has gone through the roof, huge interest in rowing, cycling, yachting , volleyball, handball etc. Phenomenal numbers on the websites and vast increases in people signing up for stuff. It's fantastic, let's hope it carries on.

                            Yeah I saw that.

                            You just hope that the funding isn't reduced for all of these sports at grass root level as the potential for an 'Olympic legacy' is certainly there.

                              Michael Johnson was saying that this is the first games where Legacy seems to have been taken seriously. I hope he is right!
                              *Except Michael, who died.

                                Yeah I saw that, he was saying that the priority for the Atlanta games was for them not to lose too much money. It's shocking really.
