*LONDON WINS VOTE TO HOST 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES, BEATING PARIS

I didnt care about this, till Chirac started knocking us the other day:mad:

So, where shall I go on hols for 2012 - madrid? :lol:

Its good isn't it
I want some tickets already
:roll::bouncy::roll::bouncy:

The Company I work for is situated bang in the middle of the proposed Olympic site.

It's relocation time.

I wonder where the sailing will be held?????????

I'd imagine somwewhere with water...........;)

AK is asking about the beach volleyball.........:o

COWS ?

Just seen the Red Arrows do a fly past.

Typical, someone posts the result....I was looking forward to seeing the replay tonight and now I know the outcome:lol:


no cows I'm afraid Keefer, but there will be some horses if you like them as well:lol:

Amazing news, our odds were 7:1, someone's made a few quid.

Anyone want to let my house for a month, easy access to all the venues?

WeeJohnyB

Solent i would imgine. Which will be great for local businessess, hell if you live in Pompey to Southampton! :lol:

Great news all round tho.

Cowes by the way :lol:

more money from congestion charges then!

London win Olympics

:pig:

Seems like the RTL rideout could well be oversubscribed in 2012 then?
At least the roads'll be quieter.

I wonder if house prices in and around Londinium will now go ballistic with people buying to rent/

i think no matter which way you slice it it is great for london and england as a whole. i'm not especially into ethletics etc but it really will be a once in a lifetime experience to go and see some of it.

Dickie, totally agree with you. And living close to the south coast I hope the sailing is here. Last week we've had the fleet review and festival of sea down here. Been fantastic, been good for local companies as well.

Good to see finally as a nation we can show the world what a show we can put on. This will knock the RWC in Wales into touch. You're right, once in a lifetime experiance, I'm looking forward to it.

flanks if the sailing is near you, maybe we could do a reciprocal deal on a few nights stay. one stop from mine to stratford so 25 mins door to door.

i'll give you a u2u in 7 years! :lol::lol::lol:

:lol: Sounds okay to me, I'll make a note in my diary chap :lol:

Beach Volleyball in Hyde Park:D

Mmmmm beach volleyball

A lot of the sailing stuff is supposed to be down here at Weymouth/Portland.

Portland!!!!!!!!!!! :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Tony, put you're tonge away! :lol:

Victoire aux "rostbiffs"

:bouncy::bouncy:

Now now Ian! :lol:

Im in South Africa and even they are excited about it being in London. fantastic news and even better is that Chirac and the snooty parisians did not.

Vive la London

weymouth.......

What about the mountain biking????

You've got to feel sorry for the small people though.

:lol: Murray Mint nice 1

Think Beach Volleyball is going to be in Pall Mall

Horse Guards Parade reportedly.

Bearskins optional!

Tim

Hopefully mountain biking will be in the Malverns...

....I need an excuse for a weekend away!

I cant work out why so many people were involved in deciding where to hold a poxy Olympics, yet only 8 are talking about global warming and world poverty????:mad:

oh no, its needs a decent xc course, ft william would be best :)

The worst thing to happen to london since the blitz and all arranged by those lying criminals, Blair & Livingstone........................and guess who`s going to pay for it !!!

not a fan then ???? :lol::lol::lol:

Hang on, Bob, can you clarify ... are you not pleased?

:lol:

I watched a little bit on the news last night before going to bed, personally can't see what all the fuss is about, our transport system is on meltdown at the moment!
What gets me is all the poxy freeloaders involved, OK for Lord Coe, but hang on Bobby Charlton, that rowing bloke, Daley Thompson...oooh is that publicity and limelight calling then best send england's finest Tory B Liar and Beckham accompanied by Livingstone, how much did that cost? :flame:
We can barely keep hospitals and schools afloat yet there will be Govt money available for all of this, just wait i can see it now fares up, council tax up etc etc
I'll finish my rant now as my Sue reckons I've thrown enough toys today!
