Paralympics anyone?

[numptynoelle]

Anyone on Channel 4 just now for the build up to the Opening Ceremony?

My love of Adam Hills knows no bounds, so I'm in it...until I fall asleep :tongue3:

 

[teapot]

Oh, ohhh, is this when I admit I'm watching Our Girl? *bad teapot*

 

[numptynoelle]

Oh my, Jack Whitehall School of Rio advert with paradressage :biggrin3:

(And yes, naughty teapot)

 

[numptynoelle]

Link to the advert if anyone missed it: https://youtu.be/6l_vKa-hFhM

Jack Whitehall, Lee Pearson and Natasha Baker. Love it.

 

[numptynoelle]

Stephen Hawking is hilarious :biggrin3:

 

[Spilletta]

Just switched on to it. Love the humour! Sadly won't be able to stay up late as got early start. But I want to see more of Claire's search for the voice of LEXI. (Anyone watched the programme called "Toast of London"? He'd be the one for me )

 

[numptynoelle]

It better not be Matt Berry - I'll have words with Balding if so :frown3: :tongue3:

I'm hoping for HRH Hazzer :biggrin3:

 

[numptynoelle]

Bloody love Joanna Lumley! I would actually pay to hear her do commentary :biggrin3:

 

[numptynoelle]

RJ Mitte has the most fantastic suit :eek3: :biggrin3:

 

[teapot]

Right, I'm here!

 

[numptynoelle]

About bloody time!

 

[teapot]

Sorry

 

[teapot]

Caught up with who Lexi is too - agree re Harry!

 

[numptynoelle]

I'll settle for Julie Walters :biggrin3:

 

[Spilletta]

Julie Walters

Now I really have to go to sleep - boo! Just as they're interviewing Lee. Enjoy!

 

[numptynoelle]

Now, I wonder where/when/how Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker are going to pop up during this (Adam said earlier that they are part of the opening ceremony)

Those two? Anywhere.

I saw Adam Hills live once, in some dodgy sticky floored back room somewhere before he was tv famous.

 

[numptynoelle]

Snap! At the Fringe, a quite few years back now - I even think it was a freebie ticket :eek3: I fell rather in love :biggrin3:

Would quite like one of these big wheel things too :wink3:

 

[Kat_Bath]

I love the Paras. More than the Olympics. I've already had goosebumps a million times since I started watching at 9!

 

[numptynoelle]

The pool is a much stronger statement than a catwalk model!

 

[teapot]

This is better than the previous opening ceremony...

In other news, Murray's gone to five sets!

 

[numptynoelle]

I'm loving it, perhaps because I think it's more what I expected the Olympics ceremony to be like.

Yes, this is more 'Brazi' I think?

 

[numptynoelle]

Want an umbrella like that!

(Ha, I typed that all in caps, but it posted in lower case - obviously shouting is frowned upon in HHO)

 

[teapot]

Yay parade time, can't wait to see someone I know in her GB kit :biggrin3:

 

[Kat_Bath]

Was there ever a resolution to the complaints about a new rule where riders in some classifications were having to wear a blindfold when they are partially sighted? It was in the media a fair bit at the end of last year...

Good question, that one went a bit quiet, didn't it? I have no idea if it was resolved or not :redface3:

 

[Kat_Bath]

Ad breaks make me want to go to bed.

I'm not sure, though the GB rider in question isn't on the team is she?

It's certainly not made RDA competition rules that's for sure - be utter chaos if those with partial sight were blindfolded

She isn't, no. So I wonder if that's why we haven't heard anymore.
