woo! finally down from 15+ minutes to 13. just 13 more minutes* until i find out i have no tickets again.

* = not strictly trues as earlier it was doing this and went down to 11 then back up to 14 where it stayed for about half an hour.

edit: it has fluctuated wildly between 8 and 14 for the last few minutes. currently it is saying 13... i know no-one cares or is interested. just killing the longest 13 minutes since...the last time i tried to get tickets half an hour ago.

edit:kaboom no tickets

How about a bit of house-hunting to while away the time here:) am desp to check out some houses.

I can't afford the ones you'd all be picking .... and that'd be mean

On Thursday nights in August there's a BBQ and firework party at S'banks.... which I had the pleasure of seeing in its entirety without having to actually go outside or make any effort. The armchair in the living room, with the curtains open gave a full on ringside seat. It went on for AAAAGES. Probably one of the biggest firework displays I've seen.

If it's warm next Thursday I might shuffle along the beach and see what's actually going on.

nope. it went straight from 5 minutes to "no tickets".

back at 15 mins for different stuff now. but i don't know why i bother because i am not paying £725 for a ticket, even if it does offer the best view ever of the mens 100m final.

Best view ever's from your armchair, with a beer and pizza... watching the telly with its instant replays, slow-mo, discussion, opinions ... and another instant replay.... along with all the stats comparing it with past people/events/speeds/times etc.

It's one of the most user-hostile sites (and I've seen a few).

Not that you can tell straight away but it's barely fit for purpose.

Not quite the advert for the London games that it should be.

Exasperated. Need sleep so why have I been awake for an hour after falling asleep so easily?

I need to pick my paralympic tix up from the sorting iffice before they get sent back. Shame it's not open right now (sigh)
