read herd this recently but not sure if true that the "home" of the Para Olympics is not Greece but Stoke Manderville Hospital ---anyone know if that correct? That one hell of an honour if its true.
It is true Goonhater and there is a drama this week on BBC2 starring Rob Brydon and Eddie Marslen telling the story of how it started....should be good

Destined to be a sell out for the first time ever!
This was interesting reference visitors to the main event 7.4 million visited Olympic venues 500,000 turned out to see the cycling road races 350,000 watched Super Saturday on big screens 200,000 went to see the road cycling time trial 2.5 million went to the Olympic Park Overall, there were 705 people cheering for every one of the 10,500 competing athletes
And aurally, with a road drill being 100 decibels and an aircraft take off being 140 db,
Main stadium registered between 105 - 110 Excel - 114 for women's boxing final Velodrome - Sir Chris Hoy's final 124!
The 8 pint man challenge The trying to get the key in the door at 2am event Flyweight v Super Heavyweight boxing Rowing The 1k walk with a cone on your head The 10 yard techncicolur yawn (points awarded for artistic merit)
Going to impact on my place of work quite a bit...there's a fair bit of the Para Olmypics taking place right outside our front door in West Kingsdown....Brands Hatch. Quite a lot of road closures etc going on (the A 20 from Farningham Village to just beyond the entrance to Brands Hatch is due to be closed for around 4 days)....I don't mind though. What's a bit of inconvenience for a few days in comparison to the wonderful events that will be taking place right on our doorstep.

I am inclined to agree, but I wonder what effect it will have on London's theatres.
