    I'm in !

    Can't tell you how good it feels to know.
    Everyone at my work was amazed - they lived & breathed every moment
    of my application with me - so It's some well deserved cakes all round today

    For all the other "Not Heards"/Deserves out there, hold on &
    keep the faith -If I've got in then it's surely only a matter of time

    All the best

    Chicky :hello:

    P.S It's Opening Ceremony - won't say much more than that - live the secret!
    Great feeling after waiting so long eh? WELL DONE!!!!!!

    Hi Drumbeat - it was me you met in the queue!

    To all those 51ers rehearsing over the next few days - you'll have such a wonderful time finding out what we'll be doing! There's a nice little surprise thrown in there too

    Regarding footwear, I would wear comfortable shoes that you can happily walk in for a while. No specific need to be trainers though (I wore my boots and didn't have any issues)

    Exciting times guys! It still doesn't seem real! :dance:
    Thanks for this! - just made even more excited

    Yeah - he thinks he is only going to the BMX by himself at the moment. Got him and my Mum a lovely hotel instead of him sleeping on our sofa.
    He deserves it though

    Fantastic- I think you are our first para closing person who is not also doing opening. Let's hope that is the beginning of the floodgates opening!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

    OMG OFFERS - well done to everyone getting offers today. So exciting!

    Mandy - yep excited for the Dagenham weekend extravaganza.

    Biting my nails at the moment trying to get games tickets. Hate the system that drags out the wait so long only to tell you the tickets are not there after all. Unfortunately can't call from work so have to go the long route. 5 mins to go for my diving final tickets. Wanted artistic gym but have settled for going to the Internationals on the 2nd June instead - get to see much more and only £8 a ticket. Anyone else going??

    For those looking for gym, athletic or swimming tickets - eventeam the french site has all available at various prices. Is tricky as no translate button but thought I'd share!

    I too have ben trying for hockey and rowing this morning without luck - despite waiting for 15 minutes each time until no ticket message appears. Have had tickets though in past from Danish and German sites which very straightforward.

    Way to go ChickenL!

    Alrighty... meanwhile everything's finally come together nicely for me and I've got confirmation of a professional role in the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Woohoo!

    I'm not going to reveal the segment number right now although I think it's higher than any that have been quoted here. But, as someone who used to re-watch a Betamax tape of the LA 1984 opening ceremony and listened to Radio 5 via dial-up internet at three in the morning from New Zealand when London's winning bid was announced in 2005, this really is a dream come true. I love the Olympics and now I'm going to be in the Opening Ceremony? Amazing. I'm so proud to be there with so many of you.

    1:1 here I come!

    Thanks! Indeed it is. I'll be fascinated to see what's intended, I'm still trying to get my head around it. It could be... interesting.
