I missed it. Now I'm told I should have watched it. But I can't find a torrent. Any bright ideas? Reply to this message | Report message

To inject some bad taste, the best Paralympics joke I've seen is in the current Private Eye. It's a cartoon but the dialogue is the point: 'OI! REF! ARE YOU ****IN' BLIND?' 'Yes.' 'Oh... sorry.' Reply to this message | Report message

I pay a most reasonable amount for one. And I think its worthwhile since even when something in high demand, like the Olympics or MOTD, is on, I still get reasonable bandwidth. Reply to this message | Report message

try this www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFSCCwPn-9E I am kinda in shock, No uniform to wear, no list of shifts for the week, no daily email from the games maker team. Retiring from 36 years proper work was easier than this. Nobody wants us any more and after so much adulation. Now I know how Cliff Richard must feel. Poor Sod.

I saw some of the games maker ladies with their own home made games maker mascots. You could sit at home or on a railway side producing such items. The mascots would sell much better than the official funny jobs. Reply to this message | Report message

The mascots >> would sell much better than the official funny jobs. A "knitted games maker"* is all the rage *one needs to have seen Harry Hill to appreciate the joke. You know what? I even checked out the 2014 Commonwealth Games volunteering site, they are accepting applications early next year. Then reality kicked in and the word "Glasgow" suddenly loomed large. Still I think I can manage it despite that. "Excuse me Gamesmaker, can you tell me where the toilets are" "Get te f...."

Z, if only you were nearer... we would want you. Especially as you would be able to start immediately as I suspect you will have been CRB checked which would cover you until our one was completed. I bet you there is an organisation like mine near you that needs you. We have just gained County funding to set up multi-sports tasters for special children - have got trampolining up and running for the next six weeks with just about enough abled bodied volunteers to help make it possible. I think the next six week block is fishing - how about that for an paralympic sport? Reply to this message | Report message

Yup, we were all crb checked and I have been positively vetted prior to that due to work. Fishing? now that sounds like my kind of guidance and supervision. Not too much walking required there, my feet are wrecked! Reply to this message | Report message
