Anybody fancy a Paralympic countdown thread?

[EduStudent]

The Olympics may be over, but we've still got the Paralympics to come

Really, really excited, I wanted to get tickets to see something but I start a new job in a different city as it starts, so won't make any of it hopefully the coverage will be as good as it has been for the Olympics.

Anyone going down to see stuff? Also, anyone know the routes of the torch/torches? I found it hard to work out on the official website

Count me in, I can't wait!

So jealous.

Will be settling myself in with snacks, drinks, a b
Anklet and a chamber pot CE sour. Don't want to miss any of it

And the still looks like a spliff!

I might try and get tickets as they are released during the course of the Paralympics but I have to say, I tried this for the Olympics and despite having tickets in my basket and apparently 'processing' several times, I was never successful at getting tickets in this way!

Did anyone else manage to during the Olympics?

This >> looks very spiff like!

Sadly as I start a new job Monday I can't go I shall just be watching lots of telly instead

I think ALL disabled people need treating well. But I will watch paraOlympics.

the torch is back
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think the big Barcelona Real Madrid Supercup final will be the big viewing tonight.

That's nice Novack.

Now back to the point of the thread

Any idea of how long it's going to last?

I cant wait its going to be so good, the paralympics were first held here, its really coming home.

I think its on for about three hours tonight.

Bring on the superhumans!

I am going on Friday (which also happens to be my birthday!) to see the (equestrian) freestyle grade 4

Am very excited!

Was offered my ticket through the riding for the disabled group i help at

It'll last hours and Stephen Hawking will be there!

See you on the other thread as well.

Taking the children to see the Boccia on tuesday - only thing left as I didn't get my act together in time! I know pretty much nothing about it though - anyone got any insights?

Yes! And discount rail travel for those outside zones 1-9. We're going to Equestrian tomorrow, and 7 a side football on Monday.

I'm so excited

I've rallied the troops DC in the living room for a pre-Opening Ceremony picnic in the living room.

Getting excited this evening :)

Motherofsurburbia - check out the C4 page on Boccia. Its incredibly tactical

Can I just pop in to say MY NIECE IS COMPETING!! and I am so proud. I can't wait! I keep crying every time the Paralympics is mentioned on telly or radio!

Try to use this website, the tickets are cheaper than just buying a ticket at the station to the edge of the zone, and can be picked up free from ticket machines. Eg. Tomorrow my ticket to the edge of the zone would cost £6.60, the ticket I bought for the Paralympics cost £2.90. There are also fewer restrictions.
