luckyluke 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Opening ceremony just starting. Are people going to follow it? I'll probably take more of an interest than I have done before with it being London and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Mate of mine is in this. He's a dancer and apparently they've kitted him out in a vivacious pink. He said he'll be the one out of time with all the rest because he's a shit dancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35321 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Aye i'm definitely planning on following it. I didn't realise that C4 are doing round the clock coverage, but i'm off the rest of the week so will try and watch a canny bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3990 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've been thinking for a while after seeing that South African (Pistorious?) that those blades are a bit disturbing for some reason - I realised today that they make me think of the aliens out of District 9.

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The sister of a friend of mine is a coach for the GB paralympic swimming team.

catmag 336 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 A friend's brother is a top prosthetics consultant and is involved down there. Must be massively rewarding. Absolutely. She put some pics on FB last night of her at the opening ceremony in her GB tracksuit and saying just how proud she felt. Must be an awesome feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveTheBobby 1 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Good stuff . I have a lot of admiration for anyone giving up any of their time to coach, at whatever level . Nice that she's getting to have a 'place in the sun' at a ceremony like that too . Just reward and wotnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
