    I saw a few fruit machines but it never occurred to me to play them..I guess gambling must not be my thing!?

    In post #104 it looks like I'm taking a picture so I went and looked to see if I had any pictures from around that time and this is the closest I could find!!

    And look, I saw Michael Phelps at the Olympic Park Megastore!!

    Spoiler




    And I'm sorry if people are sick of my pictures..its just that my computer is so slow that I can only look at a few a day.. But I'll probably keep posting until people start complaining!!

    I think the thing more people asked me than anything else was are you going to/did you try fish and chips?? I have no idea why so many people wanted to make me eat fish..I haven't had fish since the '80s..But I finally gave in..

    and I suppose THE big question is, was it Cod or Haddock??

    and did you try it the traditional way with lashings of Salt n' Vinegar??

    Random picture of the day!!

    Look, its Wenlock in Piccadilly Circus!!
    032eaf30.jpg

    I think that was soon after one of only 2 times I remember it raining the whole time I was there..

    After it started raining the first time I got out the cheap umbrella I had which happened to be purple and thats when I realized that I must have looked like crazy purple guy..Purple hair, purple shoes, purple umbrella, etc etc... And I think that was confirmed when I was in Trafalgar Square and noticed people taking pictures of me!!

    Speaking of Trafalgar Square, I think thats where I stepped in front of a double decker bus!!

    Even though NBC chose to only show 5 1/2 hours of coverage vs Channel 4s hundreds of hours of covorage, it was still awesome to see!! The US Paralympic Teams YouTube channel also had lots of highlights and the Opening Ceremony which was Amazing!!
