I am So

[gness]

going to miss the Olympics. Hope the Paralympics bring as much joy and won`t Sports Personality of the Year be fun?

i totally agree with you, gness.

I was thinking this to myself earlier, I've thoroughly enjoyed all of it, so I'll definitely be watch the para's.

When do the Paralympics begin if you do not mind my asking?

[237SJ]

I`m going to miss them too. It`s been fab. I think it is a shame that the paralympics seem to get overshadowed by the `main event` though. I sometimes think they should have the paras first (after the opening ceremony)

[excelsior-1]

hope that they get as many channels - and as much coverage.

I have tickets for the paralympics but daughter is still recovering from being there on Wed.

Don`t know start jonny. I`m there on 4th and 5th Sept. And I have tickets for Lords. Lovely year. :-)

I am so so glad I broke my toe the week before they started! I would never have normally been as engrossed and had the time to watch this much, it's brilliant, in 4 years time i might book the 2 weeks off.
