about is boring enough. Watching disabled people do it is coma inducing.

I went to see Paralympic events in the stadium and had a great time. Since I would imagine you didn't go, it seems a bit presumption of you to be telling people who did go whether they were supposed to have enjoyed it or not.

I did also see George Osborne being booed, which possibly you would regard as entertainment

Damn right I didn't go. I've got better things to spend a small fortune on.
But I didn't go to the real olympics either so I'm just comparing what I
saw on TV.
