One of the peeps at work went there earlier in the week. There was a 2 hour queue to pay that £2 and go look, such is the clamour to get a bit of the games:eek:.

Seriously you wouldn't have. He was kidnapped and kept in a homeless hostel for nearly two months and even the people in the other rooms didn't know. It was a chilling time for everyone.

Since then the same person has been up on numerous charges, I don't think the system knows how to handle him.

Tickets to rowing tomorrow!
AA grade £150 each
Had the 15 min wait. Love it.

Jonny, as you posted at just past midnight, was it tomorrow as in today, or tomorrow as in really tomorrow? Just wondered if you were there today watching Kath Grainger. Hope you had/have a good time either way.

I find a hot toddy helps me whatever the ailment. So i just drink hot whiskey if not sure.


Or hot alcohol.

Or, alcohol really.

Hot alcohol sounds like it would knock you out.

Have had saki with Chinese food and would struggle to keep my eyes open, and I suppose hot toddy was popularised as it would get you to sleep and increase the blood supply to infected pafrts of the face.

Saki is great.

Hot toddies are great.

This Sky malarky's wasted on me.... all I am doing is pressing the up/down channel button and randomly finding programmes that are watchable .... there's probably some guide on it somewhere where I can see/choose all programmes. I've no idea of the extent of the channels available at all.... but boy I've watched some right !!!! as it's a pain to keep having to find something new to watch.

Wasted I say ..... I'd have been happy with 4 channels.

vivatifosi

I need to change job. Mention of Saki made me think of library books...

PasturesNew

Oh - for those into Fifty Shades, there's something on 4seven (channel 140?) at 12.05, only I've no idea what it is, nor any clue how I'd find out ... so I've left it at mentioning it to you.

At this rate looks like the Paralympics it is, as I am away all weekend so won't be able to spend the hours sitting on the website required to get tickets for anything half decent.

I am happy with having Para tickets as I only wanted to scope out the stadium and park really...and I was curious to see what they have done in Greenwich park hence then booking my bargain para/equestrian tickets.
I have since found out UK win lots of golds in Para and we 'll get to see the mens running (on the prosthetic legs) so we may even get to singalong the NA too.


I will have to google para/horse riding as I am not sure what it is about (apart from riding of course). OH thought it could be disabled horses instead....and yes he was serious as he said it though seconds afterwards realised what a dumb thing to think.:)

We are 9 going to the satdium (taking my old dad too) and 6 off to horses so a nice family half- day out

Any NPs ever lived in an area which turned out to have a dark side to it?

Our entire area feels like it has a sinister underbelly. The only thing is we never really noticed until we moved away somewhere nice for 5 years and came back and could see and feel it in all it's downtrodden surburban grimness. Yes, I don't much living here anymore.:(
