    A close up of his airline ticket at the police station.......Seat 2E, First Class.

    I'm sure he would have ordered Shteak & Potatoes.

    Rio 2016 organisers say just 12% of available tickets for next month's Paralympic Games have been sold so far.

    However, they remain confident the Games, which start on 7 September, will go ahead as planned.

    Interesting line-up for the football final....will Brazil get revenge on Germany for the 7-1 humiliation in the World Cup two years ago. Neymar looked fired up tonight, scoring after just 14 seconds and Brazil cruising to a 6-0 win over Honduras, but Germany also through after beating Nigeria 2-0 in other semi. Final on Saturday night in Maracana stadium - could get feisty if Germany get an early goal.

    Reports that the Russian who beat Conlan may not continue due to the beating he received in 'winning'. Says it all...

    Brilliant bronze for GB from the badminton pair ranked 22nd in the world. Saw an interview with them the other day where they were incredibly modest, saying 'we're not the best players, but we work bloody hard'.

    Great stuff.

    Superb performances from the Brownlees, Alistair is in a class of his own. Maybe he'll retire and give Jonathan a chance...

    The bloody diving goes on forever and the co-commentators are nowhere near as amusing as they seem to think they are.
