    We have just won our 93rd medal and are well on schedule to beat the target of 103. Huge night tonight with Weir going for a third gold and a brilliant 100m final.

    Just watched GB beat France 57-50 in the wheelchair rugby. What a stupendous sport that is!

    The BBC's medal table shows GB [29 golds] in 3rd position behind the Ruskies [30 golds], as of 20.45pm, but I think it's out of date now, isn't it..?

    Alex Zanardi gets another gold for Italy in the handbikes. I actually love him.

    The Closing Ceremony looks even weirder than the previous ones!

    I have been watching the last twenty minutes of the show with the sound off and subtiitles on and as for the adverts.................. You will probably guess I am no fan of Coldplay although I believe the drummer may be a scummer!

    I'm a bit of cynic about the paralympics, so I won't share my opinions here. I'm just glad it's over.

    Coldplay got asked how much they would want to play the closing ceremony. They said give us a quid and we will do it.

    The Closing Ceremony was awesome, so much better than the Olympic Closing Ceremony. Really sad London 2012 is over though, the Olympics and Paralympics were truly amazing and not like anything else I've ever experienced.

    Also Coldplay sang Strawberry Swing which is truly an incredible song which they haven't performed in 2 years, I would have loved to have been there to hear it live!

    Likewise, I was close to seeing them in Paris last week but had to pull out at the last minute.

    Glad I got to see this tonight!

    Come on, share. I have my own obscure and vague doubts and I'm not happy with myself about them, so you can share your opinions.
