Yep, was saying on a few threads earlier I can't wait for the Opening ceremony.

Oh and I also said the Torch still looks like a spliff Grin

Joyful, you have to remember that a lot of people are either Olympic'd out by now or (as with the other Olympics) they might get into it once it gets underway.

Either way, there's no need for a sad face surely?

This is set to be the biggest Paralympics ever.

It's a non event here it seems. I will have it on, but the dc don't seem interested, whereas they were when the Olympics ended.... It feels a million years ago since the Olympics. Shame there was such a gap between the 2

Can't wait!!! I'm a HUGE Ellie fan after the Beijing games, she really stole my heart.

COME ON ELLIE!!!!!!

And good luck to all the other Paralympians. I shall cry buckets throughout especially when Martine, the girl that lost her legs on 7/7 is on.

People like these athletes make me feel very humbled and utterly inspired at the same time.

BlackberryIce · 29/08/2012 19:48

What's Martine doing?

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 29/08/2012 19:49

I have to say I won't watch much, all olympiced out I think.
