Of course they are
Did you just change a post? Pathetic mate. You're a mod ffs. Delete them, don't change them.
Ahem! Post count dear.
Or move them to the mod section. In which case they still count, but it looks like it's deleted then.

Have not watched a second from the Paralympics and I feel guilty about it. These athletes deserve massive respect
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

It's been a challenge to catch any coverage to be honest.

Eurosport during the Olympics at least waited until the end of a quarter, or a half, or a race. Channel 4 are going to ads part way through games. It's ridiculous.

Think the issue is they see Channel 4 as the "saviours", they were the first broadcaster worldwide to give non stop coverage to the Paras, even the BBC didnt do that 2008 or before.

You can watch it all online on the tv station. Not many seem to be committed to put it on actual tv.
