In which your author gets inside the Olympic Stadium

In which your author gets inside the Olympic Stadium

They don't just let any old hooligan, lolly-gagger or ne'er-do-well inside the Olympic Stadium, you know. And still, they let me in.

And Daley Thompson. DALEY THOMPSON, everybody!

It's very nice, you know. And big. Very, very big.

And what do you do when you get let inside the Olympic Stadium? Have a race, that's what.

Eat our dust Usain so-called Bolt!

More on my Flickr stream.

And even more on the BT Storytellers website, who organised the whole event, and are kindly letting me run a London 2012 photoblog on their site.

Hey Scary. The 2012 Storyteller link is borked. I found the site anyway and hey, you're in good company there. Plenty of interesting people. One thing, they have you down as a "photographer". Shurely shum mishtake??

The girl in the pink top would "GET IT" in my opinion!

TRT said...

He's not daily but he is a Thompson.

Fixed the link, ta.

Photographer?? Did they see that 'self portrait'???

Perhaps you wish to remedy the accidental posting of a picture of Wenlock, one of the jolly 2012 mascots, instead of one of yourself.

I had a race.
It was caucasian.

Amanda Huggenkiss said...

Congratulations - I look forward to your Olympic stories.

p.s. For future reference, did you spot any hedges in or around the stadium?

Alistair Coleman said...

Amanda: Yes, there are several

I think it was the button down shirt, that fooled them. Good one, Duckles!
