Re: London 2012 Olympics
I'm happy... i got Olympic tickets for the event I wanted!
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Re: London 2012 Olympics
I'm looking forward to the Olympics as I got the athletics tickets I wanted but if last Saturday is anything to go by, the traffic is really going to be hell (as we have been warned).
I didn't realise there was an event at the Olympic Stadium and thought i would go to Westfield shopping centre. The A12 was totally blocked up, took me over 1 hour to get to Westfield Stratford when it would normally be 10/15 mins. I thought there had been a bad accident. By the time I realised my mistake, it was too late to turn back and I just had to sit in the traffic. Total nightmare and I think it was only for one event in the Olympic Stadium. Goodness knows what it will be like when people are trying to get to the handball stadium, aquatics centre and all those other venues in the Olympic Park at the same time. Pandemonium!

Re: London 2012 Olympics
In case people are not aware you can b*y day passes for £10 (£5 for young people and seniors), exclusive to the Paralympic Games. These give general admission to see up to five sports for just £10 in the Olympic Park or ExCel.

Re: London 2012 Olympics
Surrey are still advertising for volunteers for the cycle events, if anyone is local and interested. OH and I will be away for a long weekend then - probably just as well as we might otherwise be confined to quarters, what with the no-go areas, diversions and traffic!
Re: London 2012 Olympics
Tried again at 11am for diving tickets only to find that once again no tickets were left after a 15 minute wait with the message 'requesting tickets'. I think I'll give up now!
