It can't be over surely even though the chairman of the IPC has just said so
Not really a big fan of Coldplay but they have been great, and I liked Rihanna dangling on her park bench. DH now gone to bed as he has work early tomorrow so now its just me, the dogs and the last bottle of beer

paRaahhlympiansgoingforgold · 09/09/2012 22:35

Hopefully, tomorrow will be taken up by hours of pre-parade, parade, post parade stuff, to wean us off gently....

Elasticated shorts suit nobody, RIhanna love.

MrsVamos · 09/09/2012 22:37

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Eeeehhhhhhhhhh.

I can make noises too.

What a crock of shite.

Where's Queen ?

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 09/09/2012 22:37

Why are they both wearing sunglasses? Flames too bright after a rough night, eh?

topbannana · 09/09/2012 22:37

paRaaahh we have a pair of the little fuckers in the house. Apparently they fight a lot, but are now becoming better behaved by the day :o

caramelwaffle · 09/09/2012 22:38

Along the lines of Johnny English (spy extraordinaire), yes Grin

Moln · 09/09/2012 22:38

johnnie is lovely Grin, as is ellie Grin

travellingwilbury · 09/09/2012 22:38

I forgot about the parade !

Yay !

For tomorrow anyway , not quite over yet .

bisjaralympics · 09/09/2012 22:39

Just turned over to have a peek (switched over when Coldplay appeared). Is that Rhianna and JayZ? The noise hurts my ears so I've switched back to the ITV drama (rather good in a Downton Abbey kind of way).

Looks as if I haven't missed anything, which is a huge shame.

paRaahhlympiansgoingforgold · 09/09/2012 22:40

topbanana- DD2 has some, she loves them. I started off thinking they were creepy, and now quite like them.

I am secretly hoping that we as a country are going to decide that we have had enough of being treated like shite and get off our arses and DO something. Dunno what though.

caramelwaffle · 09/09/2012 22:40

I've found myself turning off many "bad" news stories on tv/radio, slarty

floozietoozie · 09/09/2012 22:40

Have to get a Torch in before it ends. Went last weekend with Ds who has CP and my mum and dd, and it was AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. I'm seriously thinking of saving for Rio Paralympics. Don't really give a stuff about the Olympics but this is on a whole other level imo.

Any Rio MNetters want a house swap in four years time??? Grin

toomanyeasterbunnies · 09/09/2012 22:40

Not really a Coldplay fan - but do they keep repeating the same songs! [yawn]

MrsVamos · 09/09/2012 22:41

My DCs have a Lion mascot each.

They are very well behaved. I love their manes.

cardibach · 09/09/2012 22:41

'On the pitch'???
It's not a pitch you fool.
