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.

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      By Gnomicide · Posted

      Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
