Can't wait. Hope all the extra tax I'll pay for this pointless waste
of money will mean the athletes and the locals in stratford have a
whale
of a time.


The IOC are now voting on which sports should be represented at the London
games.

I suggest a vote for whinging.

We would win gold at that easily.

AMEN!! I, for one, am utterly delighted. Whether we actually enjoy
living here while it's happening is one thing - but I do think it will,
overall, be an excellent thing for London, and contribute enormously to
quality of life in that part of the capital after the event.

IIRC, you don't live in London, so essentially _you_ won't be "paying"
unless you choose to play the Lottery.

You've got to feel sorry for Paris (err ... no!) - still, at least they
might get what they deserve in 2012: The Eurovision Song Contest. ;-))

Don't they have to win it in 2011 for that?

I'm also jubilant that London will host the Olympics. And I look
forward to enjoying the summer of 2012, getting involved in the
numerous events that'll happen and being a spectator at as many of the
events as I can.

The games will not make London crumble, they will make London stronger.

How much are you willing to pay?

Spectating costs extra.

What do you mean? The games will make London popular but uncomfortable
for 28 days. I cannot get my head around what you mean by London being
"stronger".

London is full, and even the Olympic bid acknowledged that the only way
the capital will be able to house the visitors to the 2012 Olympics is
by turning away 60% of the tourists who would normally come that summer.
OK - bad luck for them, but how does this make London "stronger"?

Absolutely! Anyway, it's a long way away, all these grumpy old men
might be living somewhere else by then....

You've got 7 years to save up for a portable TV so you can watch the
Olympics when you're standing on the picket line!
