Want to Change Seats?

We had great seats, but these poor blokes, who had already been moved once got to watch the wrestling from here.......

I was lucky enough to sit next to Mr & Mrs Canada who had friends in the Canadian gymnastic and trampoline events and her friend, Rosie, well she won gold and Jason, well he did the trampolining, but he fell and was really disappointed, but he's such a great guy that when she spoke to him he was like I tried my best right? and that's all you can do and so Peter, her husband, cause they just got married and this is actually their honeymoon and anyways Peter used to wrestle so if we had any questions then we were to ask them straight away and they'd be able to tell us what was going on and they'd like to visit Australia one day. In fact they'd like to go to Scotland, Ireland and Australia, but not right away, but in their lifetimes and they asked what camera I shoot with and then they showed me their camera (which was a professional, massive zoom lens) and told me I was welcome to have a go at their lenses if I wanted. THEN...... she watched all 2-3 hours of wrestling through her view finder and clicked every 2 seconds - occassionaly turning to me and saying things like - "I love to shoot action"

It was the one time that Madds sat quietly so she wasn't inadvertantly drawn into the conversation!
