I went on Wednesday evening. Loved the atmosphere. Shows we can do things right!

The volunteers are F'kin brilliant. Give your sister a big hug from me!

I've just got back from Brands Hatch where I watched some of today's road races and I have to agree: to a person they went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. There did appear to have been some tension between them and the LOCOG ''Games Makers'' (they're the guys in the burgundy and magenta tops apparently) though.

Sums up why the Paralympics was so great. It wasn't about the pity, it was about the great sport.
