I was just going to ask her if she saw her husband, but I'm guessing not
If it meant viewing something Olympic, I'm sure she didn't.
That woman has a stubborn streak a mile wide....

No: just thinking back to the Paralympics here. The group I'm referring to, is U75.

Well she did say she'd had to listen to him rehearsing for ages, so maybe she needed a break

It takes no dedication whatsoever. It's a passive default.You are the most dedicated anti-Olympian I've ever seen.

When my husband was told he could have a free ticket he didn't even consider me as a recipient, and neither did I as my top three dislikes are noise, crowds and sport. Our first thought was "Eldest child, middle child or youngest?"
Pip went. Both her siblings immediately felt she was the one who would enjoy it most.

That's very nice of them. I saw that singer, but I didn't see your husband

Sorry, I honestly have no idea. It wasn't ten minuets though. There was a ton of people.10 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes?

Oh, just remembered, what block were you in bungles? It's occurred to me if you're the wrong side of the stadium, you're probably not going to see much of the 100m if you're at ground level

wish I could have taken the day offbut will leave at 4 and attempt the double - Olympic Park first via the Javelin - then on down to Excel - I reckon a couple of hours at the park is doable - then hop on a train down to Excel - what could possibly go wrong ?
You'll be too knackered, the DLR will break down, they'll be wrong type of leaves on the line, Gamesmakers will hold a strike, there'll be a powercut

One on one? You're crazy.

I know, I've seen that! It doesn't say where the rows are though, but not to worry, I found someone who had done his own seating chart so I'm guessing that we're near the back of the bottom tier.
Just got an email saying the schedule for my athletics has been changed. Other events are affected as well.

it's tiring wandering around the Olympic Park , spent over 2 hours just wandering about, had a cornish pasty (£5) and a hog roast roll (£8 with salad!) although I shared that with mrs21 - glad I went - amazing place - everyone was so happy to be there! Got the Javelin there - which is just an ordinary train

Notice how I put "you'll be too knackered" first!
I have to do it with a wheelchair, for hours on end. £5 for a cornish pasty
Fish and chips is only £8.50 apparently So the javelin's totally overrated then? Think I'll stick to Jubilee line then

I was only joking about the Javelin - only takes 10 minutes to get to Stratford - probably the quickest way - got the overland back to Liverpool St - everyone else was crowding onto the tube - the overland was emptyNotice how I put "you'll be too knackered" first!

I'd need to figure out the distance between exiting the tube from the Victoria Line to the platform for the Javelin to see if it's worth it or not.
Oh, hadn't even considered overhead from Stratford to Liverpool Street but that means changing onto tube etc. May as well stick with Jubilee Line to London Bridge and bus direct from there.
