The volunteers have been just awesome. And thanks to all the people working from home the trains are less crowded than I remember from years ago ... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133984 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 11:20:26 +0000 Oxbridge 133984@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My son won a free ticket to a double header of womens' footy at Cardiff. Nicely centrally located stadium, meant we could catch a bit of the Hare Krishna festival and the 289 hen parties in town at the same time. Also got the water bottle taken though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133950 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 08:25:41 +0000 The All New Jeni B 133950@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The YM is currently en-route to London. He'll see (I think) the mens Basketball tonight, and then the Mens Hockey tomorrow. I have no doubt that their route will miraculously find them near Horseguards for the beach volleyball. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133947 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 08:15:03 +0000 dvo4fun 133947@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm planning this week's supermarket run to coincide with a team GB appearance on BBC channels: 1, 2, 7, 80, 301 &amp; 302 </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133939 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 07:16:27 +0000 Gerontius 133939@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've been at the Sidmouth Folk Festival all week and the Olympic knock-on effect is definitely showing.<br /> The main events are still very well attended but the actual foot-fall in the town is well down.<br /> Which means I get to watch the Morris in peace.<br /> Hurrah<br /> Chris Wood....legend. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133859 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:38:24 +0000 beau-jolly 133859@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A friend of mine has been to Weymouth every day since it all started. She loves it. Normally the beach and cafes would be crowded this time of year. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133857 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:01:05 +0000 Not Amused 133857@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I went to the Judo last week. The atmosphere was great. We were sitting behind the family of the Brazilian girl who won the gold and they got just a bit excited !</p> <p>Lots of genuine Judo fans there. Its easy to tell because no one else understands what is going on. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133776 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:13:28 +0000 Golgo13 133776@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've been to three of the football matches and off to watch women's volleyball tomorrow. The real volleyball, not the Baywatch version.</p> <p>Not too sure about "partake in" by the way... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133744 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:53:29 +0000 waylandsmithy 133744@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Several of my friends are really keen clay pigeon shooters, and couldn't get tickets. I think they should have pushed a lot of tickets through the 'grass roots' clubs that support the sports: it would make a lot of sense if people watched events that they actually understood and were passionate about. I'm not taking anything away from anyone who has attended, but it does seem a shame that people don't get to see the pinnacle of a sport that they back and partake in. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133739 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:40:59 +0000 Actual Size 133739@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The ticketing system is a bit strange - my mate is a very keen cyclist and tried for any of the cycling events but ended up with athletics tickets for tomorrow. He's not really interested and is probably depriving a keen athletics fan of a seat but hey ho that's the system. Don't know if there was a website for swapsies? Hey that's a great idea - I'll accept 10% equity. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133737 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:30:51 +0000 dvo4fun 133737@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No but I'm starting to wish I had a ticket, as things are really hotting up. A BBC commentator advised that one of the GB team was 'literally on fire' this afternoon.</p> <p>Did I already mention that a friend went to see footer at Wembley, was told that he couldn't take in his own water bottle but that there was free water inside There was; one tap for the whole stadium. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46487#post-133732 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:19:11 +0000 Actual Size 133732@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Looking at all the excitement makes me wish I'd made the effort. Would like to see the Hong Kongians defend their bar billiards title or spend a day at the cross-country lobster wrangling. </p>
