Aw man, they're not gonna show it. They cut to the commentary crew each time there's a victory ceremony.
I can hear the Chinese anthem in the background right now while the crew are chattering away.

SCREW YOU, C4!!!

Oh yes, it is. But wait...you're talking about Sky, aren't you?
Why not just pick up the HD Freeview box? 4 glorious HD channels for free.
Totally worth it.

Good luck to weir and woods in the marathon.
If they get gold then we might just beat Russia to second place in table :cross:

I was at he athletics with the whole family yesterday. It was amazing

Finally got into that stadium. Atmosphere was fantastic. Seen so many medal ceremonies too.
THe park was packed solid. Seemed busier than when I went during Olympics.
On the whole I think his Paralympics has been best yet and we stil have a little more on today
Can't wait for closing ceremony tonight COLDPLAY :D


Anyone heading to the teamGB victory parade tomorrow?
I booked day off can't wait. But according to bBC website they are expectin over 1 million people to attend still wish they did it on weekend tho.

The bloody parade even comes past St Paul's where I work now but at a time I can't leave. Typical. Why do this on a workday in the first place?
