I've had members of the US & GB teams on my tube at times. Admittedly not going to their events to compete, though.

Also a full carraige of commandos going back from Olympic duty.

Me, why did I? Cos OH was getting up to watch the athletes.

GOD that violin is playing a sympathy I mean a symphony o/ o/ o/ o/ .
I thought you wouldn't need very much sleep though? My grandma would only sleep from about midnight to 5.30am each day. Having said that, general grumpiness if of course also a side effect of old age :mrgreen:

I've given up trying to get tickets. Whenever I get close to anything we want to see, tickets are several hundred pounds each. Not worth it.

Yesterday it was showing £20 & £40 tickets for BMX plus the kids only p*y their age, so I would p*y that. We have paralympics athletics final tickets mostly because the kids wanted to see the stadium, they were a bargain, kids tickets for that for only £5!
