Well it took a bit of persistence - I think anyone who picked up £20 tickets for anything but football was very lucky - but this morning I picked up some

beach volleyball,

weightlifting,

basketball,

fencing

hockey,

to add to my previous

handball,

football at old trafford

football at wembley

athletics

Add to that blur & all the free stuff in Hyde Park (if you can still get in after everyone finishes work), and I am one happy camper!

I picked up tickets for Spain vs Morroco at old trafford in the football a couple of weeks ago, 20 quid each. Two of my favourite countries when it comes to quality of women.

I really don't get the Torch Relay.

However, I'm really looking forward to the Games themselves. I'm going to see:

- Athletics (including High Jump, Discus, 1500m and 100m Hurdles finals)

- Archery

- Womens' 10m Diving finals

- Mens' Artistic Gymnastics finals

- The Closing Ceremony concert (Blur/New Order/Specials) in Hyde Park

- The Paralympic Closing Ceremony (Coldplay)

I managed to get relatively cheap tickets for all these. Being a veteran of many Glastonbury ticket days stood me well :-)

Going to try and catch it tomoz but it's awkward times with work / child care... So might miss it :(. Little one is going to go see it with grandma though :) Doubt she will ever remember it but at least we can tell her she was there :P

    • Another one from Sheffield DocFest this weekend, Earth Wind & Fire docu, directed by Questlove. Sensational archive footage, contributions from band members, family, plus a lot of very big fans (Stevie, Lionel, Flea, the Obamas) and a warts n all assessment of the genius / flawed human being that was Maurice White. Also, I never realised he started out as a jazz drummer with Ramsay Lewis. Well worth a watch.
    • In a 6,800-word Substack essay, external, the Clacton MP said "anti-white racism was embedded into the state", and that legislation aimed at equality was a form of "social cleansing"   .https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjkd4mp93zo   The privileged white c**t hasn’t got a clue what racism is. 
    • BBC iPlayer: Will serve as the main hub for past sets, including both recent hits and iconic archival gems. You can explore the BBC iPlayer to watch curated compilations, "Best of Glastonbury" recaps, and on-demand replays of historic headline performances. [1, 2, 3] TV Broadcasts (BBC Two & BBC Three): The channels will air dedicated compilation shows. Leading up to the weekend, you can watch archive programming such as Glastonbury: 70s Legends, 80s Legends, and 90s Legends on BBC Two. [1] Radio & BBC Sounds: Pop-up Glastonbury radio stations on BBC Sounds will feature non-stop coverage, including exclusive mixes and huge sets from past years
    • Got HBO Max to watch football so watched One Battle After Another which is a great film and deserves its awards and then rewatched Magnolia and that is a flipping amazing film...so much in it. (also rewatching Angels In America series which is also amazing).
