Fantastic Tanky!

Now for petes sake remember what he is watching!!

It'll be athletics in the Birdsnest.

 

[Tank Girl]

it was quite exciting hearing the noise from in there

I'll try and watch some of the highlights tonight and see if I can see my family in the crowd

even more jammy than just being there - he got the tickets for free! he said the tickets are £260 each

Yeah, but he gets to see so many finals! Actually £260 is a lot of money!

he is full of olympic win

great phrase!

 

[Tank Girl]

we could go and kick him in the shin, but it's a long way to go

 

[TrippyLondoner]

How does he get free tickets?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

tell him to wave so you can spot him in the crowd

 

[Tank Girl]

dunno how he got free tickets.

I thought he was in france, so it was doubly surprising

You do realise that actually being there is like being in an Olympic final. He might even get a medal!

Go Tanky's dad!

I wonder who his trainer is?

Has he been tested for dope yet/lately?

 

[Tank Girl]

he's quite good at cycling as it goes, he could have been a contender

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I bet they would've just given him a free gold medal for that to.

 

[Tank Girl]

yay! my dad the olympic hero

 

[dodgepot]

go on dad-in-law!! has he got small boy with him?

 

[Tank Girl]

yep, they're all in there

 

[Tank Girl]

this was our only fleeting view of the birds nest earlier this year, and we only got to see it because a dodgy taxi driver took us on the longest route possible one day
