Paralympics

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Paralympics

Post by Nos89 »

Enjoying listening to this event on the radio. Team GB are performing magnificently.
Thought the pricing of entrance to watch these games, in comparison with the Olympics, is contradictory to whole Olympic movement. Apparently, its £2.50 compared to £80 for the Olympics.

Maybe we should start a women's football thread as well? Just to be sure we tick all those PC boxes... :roll:

Dangerous ground that, especially if photoshopping gets involved

They didn't have computers in those days and mobile phones were the size of bricks.

1961? Computers were the size of a house and there were only three in the country! Mobile phones weren't the size of bricks, they were the implausible product of a scifi author's imagination.

I had a Paralympic experience last night.

I poured myself out of the pub door and suddenly realised that I needed a liquid poo.

It normally takes me two minutes to get home. I did it in half that time. I wasn't fully parylitic. But I feel there was some kind of empathy going on.

Apparently Wilson thought Paralympics referred to those amazing men and women who turn up in green overalls at traffic accidents... :lol:
