    Is it just me

    Or is Channel 4 really cocking up the Olympic Paralympic coverage.
    Now I missed the opening ceremony, But since then all I have seen is 3 minutes of table tennis and 5 minutes of the basketball that was just on,Now like when the Olympics were on the BBC, I liked to flick it on and have a channel hop while doing stuff around the house and outside(Working Nights), And check out all the different events with the dozen of so live streams they had going while having a sarnie.

    But when I try this with Channel 4 all i get is an advert, Someone in a studio talking, Or an advert, My red button doesn't seem to do anything, And the online stream says, "Channel off air or wrong region" or something like that.

    I have had channel 4 on for the last half hour or more since the Basketball finished, And someone is still flaming well talking, Am I ever going to see any of these paralympic games, Go On, I dare you, It's 14.03 by my computer clock, Switch on Channel 4 and I bet there still talking or it's an advert, Complete joke.

    I must admit, I haven't seen much, but when I've tried to watch, I've seen far more adverts/stuff in studios than actual paralympics....

    Re: Is it just me

    Every time i try to catch one of the events i'm confronted by David Beckham. He works at Sainsbury's now.
    Also, Clare "Horse-botherer" Balding, just before Beckham jumps in again.

    Re: Is it just me

    Apparently Inter, Real and Barca baulked at Beckham's demands but Sainsbury's were able to accomodate his requests for Victoria's melons every day!!.


    Sadly, it seems, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon of disability..........you just have to look at the current Southampton squad to know what I mean!!
