London 2012 Tickets............Anyone Applied?

Made me laugh: Me And My Big Mouth: Dear Seb Coe,

Very good and spot on even though me and the missis have over 2K of bids in.

Has anyone been watching Twenty Twelve on BBC 4, I thought the 2nd and 6th episodes were brillinat, the party from Rio on the coach was absolute cringe comedy and the Tony Ward charecter played by Tim McInnerny (Percy-black adder) was great. We have applied for tickets to go to Greenwich Park and I am sure I will now spend the whole time looking at tree stumps, what a legacy I mean sustainable event .

I think they have gone for another series so I am sure they may do ticketing as a theme.

BBC - BBC Four Programmes - Twenty Twelve

I just don't understand how people can be so MAD to leave it to the last evening!

Even if you did it YESTERDAY you would have saved all the agony.

SIX WEEKS

I expect you always did your homework first night you got it as well bloody swot!

As my wife and I were REGULARLY consulted by him about his university work AT THE LAST MINUTE I can confirm you are very very wrong.

putting preferences for half a dozen things you dont particularly want, in case you dont get the one you really want, reminds me of something else...

You expect VERY wrong!

Homework will get done whenever you do it. An Internet site will always be slowest building up to a deadline.

I'm really hopeful for basketball (applied for the evening slots as i heard that due to tv demand the USA more likely to play then) and handball (youtube clips look mental!). Article i read today said that applications for team sports like these weren't as popular as expected but that could be codswallop ie - only one million people applying for them instead of 10 zilliion. Not really anticipating getting any but i am loving the optimism i'm feeling (for the next month) while i await the credit card being charged. priceless! tired of hearing all the moaners about the Olympics, it's going to be great, the British public love attending sporting events, it won't be flash but it will be well supported.

- Opening ceremony

It looks like it's going to be at least another week before they start taking money out http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13338579

Oh fecking hell. This is going to be a disaster.

 

[Art Vs Science]

I got an E-Mail today saying 16th at the earliest. I have a sneaky feeling loads of people's cash will be taken even though they have not been chosen for tickets, more scandal, more cock-ups. or not who knows
