Nice! I ran off to the ticket website when I saw that and grabed some water polo tickets for 30 quid on my womens hockey day!

Fantastic! :D Shame I couldn't see any swimming tickets apart from football its the one sport I have a slight nterest in. (Plus the venue is outstanding, aside from the massive stands they either side atm :()

Still water polo should be fun:D

Getting rather excited now, watching the GB-Brazil football game on tv :)

Has anyone heard whether you'll be able to drink at football grounds during the Olympics? ie does Heineken's sponsorship overrule the law of the land as we heard it might for the Brazil world cup?

It'll make at least a difference of 10 to the crowd for the Uruguay-UAE game before the GB-Senegal match next week is all I'm saying...

Getting excited now, got tickets for Brazil V Belarus, New Zealand V Egypt next weekend. Have always wanted to see Brazil play and they have a lot of exciting young players. Its harder to get excited about the second match but it could be some fun.

Also going to the final day of the athletics, will be amazing seeing Bolt and Blake in the flesh.

Planning my routes in and out this morning has got me excited. Got 7 sessions over 4 days starting Saturday, basketball, rowing, and swimming. Then a rest followed by athletics on Friday.

Still trying to work out whether I can wangle a long long lunch break to catch the Brownlee brothers in action too...

Olympics off to a good start so. North Korean womens football team just walked off because the organisers displayed the South Korean flag beside the North Korean players on the screen.

P.S. North Korea are the ones with the nuclear bombs.

Slapped my hands over my eyes when they had preview bits on the news earlier. Is nothing a surprise anymore? We're told what a politicians gonna say in there speech before they even say it, then things like this. Pah

Held a torch as well today. Can't wait to get the show on the road :D

The atmosphere at Old Trafford last night was brilliant, real family stuff. Bit of a shame about the GB performance, but there we go. An attendance of 72,000 is nothing to be sniffed at either.

      Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
