PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Well I am honestly baffled, I have been watching some of the best sport I have ever seen, there have been the usual controversies about grading, new controversies about blade lengths, Natalie Du Toit bowing out, Alex Zanardi back on Brands Hatch for the first time in 12 years, and yet no-one on OT seems to want to talk about it.Well, we had a target of 103 medals, and so far have 116 China are far and away the leading country with 212, we have been competing with Russia all the way in the medals table although I think we will be able to hold on. Getting a ticket? Forget about it, getting a ticket for the Olympics was so much easier. This is the largest sporting event we have ever held, with the loudest crowd (not counting football or rugby) and frankly has just been so wonderful words cannot do it justice.

OK I'm with you on a few of the sports, the blind football and seated volleyball are two I wouldn't choose to watch again.Our broadcaster was very good on explaining the differences in classification, although one does have to trust the classifiers as for example S9 means Athletes in this sport class swim with joint restrictions in one leg, double below-the-knee amputations or an amputation of one leg, or Multiple Sclerosis, and judging those fine lines must be very difficult. On the other hand the reclassification of Victoria Arlen has meant that we have had a magnificent series of races between her and our Ellie Simmonds. We have had four channels broadcasting from about 09:30 until 22:00 with a highlights show from 06:00 to 07:00 (and a "funny things that happened today" show on one of the channels from 22:00 - 22:30) so it has always been quite easy to find something to watch. Wheelchair Basketball and Rugby are my favourites, but the Athletics and Swimming have been wonderful as well. I have a lot of respect for Oscar Pretorius (although he is damned lucky Johnny Peacock can't run bends), however I think that Natalie Du Toit should be the number 1 (non British) superstar. I have to admit that I thought the Paralympics would be a bit of a damp squib after the Olympics, but the country has really embraced them, and although it has been broadcast on commercial television they took a lot of people from the BBC to work on commentating etc, and so did a very good job (although it does have to be something exceptional like this to make me watch a channel that has adverts on it). Not sure what I will be doing next week after watching so much sport for so long.
