Lucky bastard! How?

The Ben Marsh ticket tracker. I only got it about a week ago.

I've been to the basketball and Saturday night athletics at the Olympics, and the Velodrome and Saturday night athletics at the Paralympics, using a combination of the tracker, Twitter feeds and being lucky on the website. It took me several days of trying to get my first ticket.

Mutoid Waste

(just watched it)

With Arcadia's bug (mk II), in the fleet too.

Felt really chuffed for Joe and that band of artists. Twenty years ago they left Britain, after repeated hassle from the police, to hole up in Italy. They came back about five years ago, and now have ended up with artistic pride of place in such a high profile event.

And, in some ways, mutoids is a perfect fit with the paras. I remember seeing charming aussie stand up Adam Hills - who happened to have been born missing a foot - remarking that rather being called disabled, he preferred 'mutant' - "it's cooler, like you have special powers"
