Paralympic poems

I was lucky enoughto attend the Olympics (hockey) and Paralympics (Athletics).. All the compliments about smiling security staff and games makers are absolutely true.

We saw the great Oscar Pistorius run in that unbelievable 200 metres race last Sunday night when he was beaten by Alan Oliveira, and the evening ended in style when David Weir won the 5000 metres T54 race.

Here are some pics (courtesy of my wife Ruth) and a few poems.

There's a wonderful team called GB
Which represents people like me.
They've won shedloads of medals
Using boats legs and pedals
And I've watched it, sat on my settee.
















(To the tune of the National Anthem)

On track or tv screen
Just once a drama queen
Greatest we've seen.
Mostly victorious
Happy and Glorious
Well done, Oscar  Pistorius
Best there's ever been.

  1. Absolutely — replica Rolex and for many reasons. It’s great-looking, in a non-blingy way, and punches well above its replica watches class for the price. Unlike stainless or gold watches, it feels organic. The bronze replica watches uk changes and reflects the activity level of the user. It features a whopping four fake rolex anchor logos between the case and strap, and three starfish on the caseback — it would have been nice to see a replica rolex mermaid as well, but who knows what the future may hold? It has a domed crystal and a groovy Rolex replica domed dial — a double dose of domage — awesome! And finally, it holds its value: Check out the used prices on eBay against the fake Breitling street price on this watch, (As a comparison, look at Romain Jerome, as well — a cringe-worthy value-dropper fake Omega !)
    As a daily wear in dry conditions, the watch as configured with a leather strap will fake Hublot serve most users well; for those who actually wear dive watches for diving, I’d suggest investing in a fake Cartier metal bracelet model. The Captain was a great traveling companion, and kudos to Rado for delivering exceptional fake Patek Philippe quality at a realistic price point.
