And did you consider tickets to the Paralympics instead, which was also
a fantastic spectacle?
You're joking , right? The paralympics were a slightly sad, slightly
comical me-too event. The only people who took it seriously were the
participants and the right-on media. And the viewing figures pretty
much bear that out. A lot of the midly disabled atheletes who you can
compared to the able bodied - for example there was a cyclist with a
deformed hand - were barely of club level ability and shouldn't have been
let anywhere near an olympic flame. The only reason there were there was
because of their disability, not their ability.
Why am I not surprised at this nonsense from Boltar? My daughter and grand
daughter went to Excel for a day of various events and really enjoyed them.
