Should be a cracking evenings viewing ahead...
Rest of the diving, and then some real fireworks in the swimming finals... Can see a few records being broken especially in the womens events.

those gymnastic girls make the moves look so easy. I know if I tried even one somersault I would probably break more than the floor.

It's not looking like the Olympics is being very beneficial to the shops, theatre's etc, images on the news look very quiet.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Perhaps not surprising, given the combination of warnings to stay away, price hikes and closures. But the offers are starting to appear now. I had decided to steer clear of London until it was all over, but I could be tempted back sooner by a really good deal!

My mum's been to the Westfield at Stratford, and they seem to be minting money! Ridiculously busy apparently. Easier option for tourists going to the Olympics, I guess.

hate that site so much.. kept throwing me out of the basket until tickets were over £100, beyond my budget and not worth going into debt for. Hope someone managed to bag decent tickets as there seemed to be some available in swimming/tennis/athletics and diving when I tried.

I assure you, I hate it much more than you or anybody else on this forum. I even had a dream last night in which I placed the programmers through a Saw-like Gauntlet where they needed to book tickets via a similar POS site for every listed event. If they failed, they died.
