Paralympics

Haven't watched the opening ceremony - did flick over, but they were on 'Malaysia' so figure they've stilll got some way to go.

Hoping I get into it, but not sure - can you ever judge the athletes as equals, with differing handicaps?

The whole thing is some horrendous PC exercise.

Some of the sports look good - wheelchair basketball is pretty well established, and the rugby looks crazy.

at peru now, going to be a slow burner

funny when the germans came on, both commentators taking the mickey out of the pink jackets - then quickly backtracking to avoid offence. How many times will this happen me-wonders,

almost worth bringing linekar back on

Competitors are streamed according to their disability to stop someone with an extra finger competing against an athlete who has to blink their way round the track

It does mean that some events have a lot more medals though - i think swimming has 3 times as many medals available than the regular olympics

The wheelchair rugby is nicknamed MurderBall. With a name like that, how can you not watch it?

Seeing as it was started in the late 40's before PC was even conceived I think you're talking out of your misogynistic arse....

What you fail to understand is that Robby has decided to become the new CUK troll, his life being as dull and boring as it is.
