I expect it's nice for you though, the Pipemanglers Arms will be running a chara and you will be able to use your OAP discount to have a cheap day out. Owain |

He knows damn well he won't be in power in 2012, and the UK electorate will have finally got wise to what a Labour government stands for - tax and spend. So the Tories will be back in power and have to shoulder the consequences. And oh look, the UK is committed to the Olympics in 2012. Not enough money has been spent on the facilities and time is running out. Remember the year 2000 debacle involving the tent and the London Eye which wasn't ready? And the fact that Labour had to pull the plug on the shareholders of British Rail (whatever they were renamed to)? It's revenge I tell you.

Tone even spoke in French and ignored that ignorant Froggie. France? best at Cuisine? You can't get a decent curry there. Uncivilised. Ken even wore a Becks type of suit. Having said that, in some ways I would rather that one of the other countries had won it, not because of a lack of patriotism but because it's a distraction and use of resources that could be put to much better use. I was listening to radio chat show, and one caller said the billions poured into London will create an even larger rift in the north south divide. I thought he had a point. |

We could go back to having all those bodies living on the streets with the other lots. Mother Teresa of Calcutta was appalled at the sight of people living on the streets of the UK. She couldn't believe that a rich country would allow this. |

Is it to be a DIY Games? Otherwise, what's the relevance to the group? The relevance is that DIY activity will increase exponentially as anyone actually interested in doing anything will be getting on with it in an effort to avoid having to sit in front of Olympicmania day in day out. Phil |

Well, all the tradesmen currently building Terminal 5 at Heathrow will have something else to do when they've finished, making the chance of getting any non-DIY work impossible in the south of England for an extra decade. Christian. |

This country is going on full-hype over the Olympics and before and during it will be fever. The fact is around the world no one gives a toss; I never cared about Greece. But Tone and Ken did a brill job. They should rename them, the Tone and Ken games, or Kentone for short. People will say, I am going to the Kentone to see the race. Yes, that is what they will say. Imagine all those combi's in the Kentone village. |

I agree; we'll only just have finished paying off the bill for the G8 by 2012. All we need now is to win the Eurovision. On the upside, we've found a use for the Dome!!! Owain |

The 1948 Olympics were at Wembley stadium. 3. A dedicated athletics stadium will be built in the East End of London I hope they build something better than the Millenium Tent. That was brilliant. I went there. |

Funny,
I was actually going to ask a (OT) question on the same subject. Would someone care to explain to me what all the fuss is about re the Olympics (wherever it's held?). *My* view is its a load of hype over nothing .. like the announcement re the winning City .. why did that have to be turned into a TV game show? (But I feel the same re football / rugby etc etc). And what is it actually about .. folk running / jumping rowing whatever faster longer further than anyone else? (I'm not into 'sport' you can tell .. I do walk, cycle, row and sail for fun though). So, what's it going to do for me .. well living 5 miles away from part of the projected developement area just MORE congestion and loss of public park? "We can't build there it's public park / green-belt!" "It's for the Olympics, we can do what we like ..." And look at all the excitement from the kids .. the chance of working hard for 7 years to compete in .. em .. London .. (for 2 weeks!) ;-( Oh well, as long as it keeps them off the streets / drugs etc ... All the best .. T i m |
