  Britian is second in the paralympics medal table behind China.
  It seam Britians media is allways moaning when we do bad in Football or cricket, they made a big fuss of the medals tally in the Olympics so why is this not all over the sports news?

  I just woke up, for a second I thought the subject heading read "Britney Spears in Paralympics" ...

  Wait.. Paralympics is not like a special olympics is it? Believe it or not that's what I thought, since I don't tend to pay attention to these things. I don't know why, maybe in the back of my mind I thought it has something to do with paraplegics or something. Ahh, this sick mind keeps me entertained anyway.
