Lunatics have already disrupted the games. 

Arson attacks on the railway system. 

I fear this won't be the last. 

I remember well the 1998 WC. It was a great experience but it was noticeable how much Paris had changed culturally since I’d last visited back in the 80s.
However it is increasingly unrecognisable now.

Streets are all being fenced off in Paris as part of the security of the games. It’s making it a nightmare for local residents and cafe/shop owners.
There are many no go districts for police now never mind local Parisians.

WTAF.

The Olympic Games is a strange event for me. 

I could honestly not bother if it disappeared altogether but when it starts I find myself being drawn into various events that pass me by for the 4 years between each glitzy showpiece. 

The French are breaking with tradition and holding the opening ceremony On the river Seine. 

On that basis alone I'm intending to tune in at 6:30. 👍

Regretting tuning in as Mrs Faraway has decided to say, quite loudly, EVERY flippin countries name as they appear on various boats. 

Oh, it's pishing doon in Paris. 😂

Just witnessed a minor miracle in the tennis.

Murray and Evans were facing 5 match points in the 3rd set tie break decider yet STILL managed to come through and win.

No words are enough for this, what guts, what strength and such calm heads from both Murray and Evans.

He continues to be my hero. :notworthy

Silver medals for the British lads. Outstanding they were.

The Chinese scooshed it to win the Gold. They were magnificent.

What is it about Asians excelling at diving ?

Look at Kyogo at Celtic Park. He's a fecking master at it.

Murray & Evans currently a set up and about to serve at 2-3 down in the second set. 

One set all, team GB lose the second set on the tie break. 

Here we go, another first to ten points tie break.

OMG, another two match points saved and Murray and Evans win 11-9 in the decider. 

What a man Murray is...... And wee Dan is a fighter.
