I love this ad too . Especially the bit at the end with the guy in the careers office?
Isn’t it great – it was my Music Monday track a few weeks ago https://artsoprovident.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/music-monday-yes-i-can/
I found the Parlympics in 2012 so much more interesting than the main Olympics – especially addicted to the spin-off TV series “The Last Leg” – so yes I am looking forward to them. I feel so sorry for the Russian Paralympians who will now not be able to compete due the institutionalised doping scandal. Can you imagine all that training they have put in only to be told now that they will not be able to compete?
I love the Last Leg too – the hosts are so funny. I feel sorry for any of the clean athletes who are unable to compete (and for the clean athletes who miss their moment of glory because of the dopers). I just hope there aren’t any more horrific accidents like in the cycling and gymnastics.
Awful accidents weren’t they?
