The Gransnet Olympics !

Please note that I use the word "walk" loosely, it is more like a limp or a hobble.

We would have to give it a spring clean and oust the mice and spiders, but with some bunting, it would be perfect.

wobblybits do you think grandad's shed and garden would be ok for the opening ceremony?
we could bring our own grape juice

I am going 1st class so I will meet the rest of you at Rio. My passport is out of date but I am sure that will not matter. My driving licence will do instead.

I have not decided yet what I will be doing. I have never used a wheelchair - I do not want to cause an accident, I can do that on my own.

I am interested in the diving, and Jalima and I no doubt will be doing the 100 yard walk- we should manage that even if it is very hot.

ann I've let you down!

I don't get my crutches to the
16th
Still up for the three legged hobble,
Got ankle brace does that count?

OPENING CEREMONY ?? are we talking here ?, count me in.

Just need a bit more lippy for the Opening ceremony!

I'm still in duty free !! Save me a seat Tizliz

I should hope so!!

sorry missed my plane, they don't make allowances at the airport for the distance to the flight gate. Will try again tomorrow

Well where are you all? I am here with my crutch and my best shorts and vest top. Must I represent GN on my own? ?

I think Samanta95 has just qualified for the offensive message deletion sprint final.

So quick I didn't even see it!

Certainly by the next Olympics?

Yes it is I annsixty to quote Rene from Allo Allo. I am 20 days post op but will be fighting fit by the panto season?

It is annsixty who has recently had a total knee replacement. She will be up for it but please, it is too soon for her to have her knee replaced so treat her gently.

Well there is a certain lady who is unfortunatly on crutches
That I am hoping to join in GN panto auditions (the Sand Dance with crutches!)
I might ask her if she would like to join me in perhaps a three legged crutch race .

Jalima are you suggesting that GNs are nutters? Surely not, I have never "met" such a rational group in my life before.

Onwards and upwards for the Para Olympics- I think it starts in the 5th September. I may be a week late because my car needs a full service and MOT and I believe I cannot put that off for another year. The company know perfectly well what I am doing in in the Para O but would not give me an inch. I will not be asking them to sponsor us lot.

We can't forget about the Paralympics! (Let's face it, some of us are probably well qualified, at least if you're allowed Zimmer frames and support bandages as well as prosthetic limbs...)

I am tall, blond and beautiful, and I would like to enter for Pathological Lying.

Preparing for the Commonwealth Games in 2018 as I type.
The balancing coffee cup,laptop and slice of lemon drizzle cake on one knee event. ?

Pittcity provided my sponsors are up for it, I will be there, at the Para Olympics I mean. I was only practising at the main Olympics, to see what I could get away with.

Already in training, NanKate. See you there

Wonderful thread, I have so enjoyed reading it. So funny. Congratulations to all you medal winners, you did us proud!

Surely we have all qualified for the Paralympics?
