2012 Olympics

[TheGayTent]

Just secured tickets for two evening sessions of the swimming on the same two days I already have tickets for the morning sessions. Chuffed to bits, even though my wallet is a lot lighter...

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! 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

After getting nowhere in the first two ballots, I have now got tickets for the final night of the Athletics, which is the weekend I'm in London for the Hyde Park gig. Delighted!

On the right yeah?

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.

You're not allowed to drink during football anyway.

[TheGayTent]

Am not surprised the football grounds will be half full. That and tennis definitely shouldn't be Olympic sports

[TheGayTent]

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.

lol.. I heard that just before the kick off

[LondonTom]

You would think this would have been premade and double checked before hand?

Good to see TeamGB Ladies off to a good start!

[Ed209]

Brilliant

Who did they get to write the Olympic script in the end?

My friend went to the dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony last night, he said there's nothing to fear. Its inventive, original, funny, quirky, totally british and utterly amazing.

Can't wait

[Alcatraz]

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

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.

Going to the weightlifting on Sunday, should be fun
