Got some for the stadium. Get in.

[Vespa Alex]

I saw this on the BBC news website.

I've got a few that I've requested but I'm in a 15 minute queue apparently!

[pulsemyne]

I'd love to see the stadium packed for the paralympics. Would be a great atmosphere.

[El Pibe]

This time last week I was screaming and shouting as Mo Farah won.

This week, the wife is watching X-Factor.

I miss the Olympics.

I miss the Olympics.

So do I.

I'm lucky that my wife feels the same, and also hates all of that reality TV show crap.

Cycling on Eurosport, LLWS baseball on ESPN and Buffy on Netflix for us.

[Ork1927]

Watching Paralympics preview on Channel 4. Katie Price is a pundit (as she has a disable son and likes Horses??) :facepalm:

I am no longer watching the preview.

[exwhyzed]

Olympic flame 2 hours late. LOL

[pulsemyne]

Apparently stephen hawkin is involved int he opening ceremony. Wonder what its going to be like. Hope its good.

[Rev]

I'd presume he'll being using that loop-the-loop that just sort of sat there for the closing ceremony.

[The Disco]

Paralympic opening ceremony now on Ch4.

Stephen Hawking starts things off with a small little talk about the beginning of the universe and a representative display by a load of folks. Liking the British weather system being the main focus.

And again, the LEDS be killin' it, yo.

[The Disco]

Sir Ian McKellan and some more Stephen Hawking. Cool.

Some real good music, too.

[footle]

Paralympics opening ceremony hijacked by 22 cans with a "be curious" message.

[The Disco]

Shut the front door! The Queen is smiling.

[Spleen]

The queen again. Just walking in this time.

[pulsemyne]

It's been pretty good so far.

[footle]

A nice rendition of our national anthem. Wonders may never cease!

[pulsemyne]

Its probably the best version I've heard.

[Spleen]

Bah! Adverts!

[The Disco]

Well, that was short.

[Mike]

Hope the Independant Athletes dance again.

[Spleen]

Now the athletes, for two hours.

[pulsemyne]

It's still on for another couple of hours.

[The Disco]

Actually with all those seats in the middle, I guess the athletes are going to sit and then get a front row to more ceremony.

[pulsemyne]

Yes common people!

[Girth Certificate]

Those folk dancing on the sidelines are going to be nackered

[stefcha]

Krishnan's cut the Canadian guy off mid sentence so many times but now he's settled down a bit - I'd like to think there was some sort of Homer/Bart-esque stranglings going on in the ad breaks.

[stefcha]

I also like the gravitas of Jon Snow going on about war ravaged countries all the time in the studio, vs. Jonathan and Ade sat next to him taking the piss out of the German outfits
