London To Host Olympics In 2012

[davethailand]

My Mums just emailed me and apparently the frogs are acting like real sore losers on the tv.

Thats unlike the frogs is'nt it? Why can't they just be pleased?

[ProfessorFart]

I'm not having it!! Siam Superfly wrong again!!! Never!!

Excellent news! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was smiling on the train home tonight. What a boost for East and North East London especially those of us in the construction game

That part of London from Hackney through to Stratford (and beyond) has seemed in terminal decline for several decades and long been a blight on London. Many places were no go areas and a real mess. Now they will get a much needed facelift and connections with the rest of London.

The reaction from the French who thought it was in the bag was priceless. Maybe now they will give Paris a bit of a scrub and clean up all that bloody dog turd.

Kudos to Lord Coe who transformed London from no hopers 18 months ago to winners. He was a crap politician but seems to have found his niche. I trust he will remain as leader of the London Olympic Games 2012. God it feels good to type that.

HM can't make Seb Coe a Lord, as he already is one, but if the Games go well, he's got to be in line for a Viscountcy.

Earldom ...maybe......Dukedom...probably not,...but Viscount Coe looks very apt.

[Totster]

Yeah...great ... woo hoo... great for London.... WHO'S PAYING FOR IT ALL THEN...?

[ProfessorFart]

A big slice of the cash is coming from the private sector and lottery funding but we shall see.

Lord Coe can actually (and probably will) be knighted and be known as Sir Lord Sebastian Coe......or is it Lord Sir Sebastian Coe?

Another silver medal for the French. Watched it on TV5, some very unhappy bunnies over there.

I like Chirac, I think he is an educated man.

Not same same for rest of 'em though.

Paris didn't win even one of the four rounds of voting. London won 3, Madrid the other one.

I lived in Leytonstone for a year. It was ######.

Hope the whole area gets bulldozed and re-developed!

Chirac won it for London

When sydney won the games they changed some pretty crappy parts of sydney into showpieces. Hopefully the same can be done for London.

All you have to worry about now is the fickly english weather to make sure it is a success.

Good luck

Well, if it all goes tits up, at least he can do a runner

Can see it now:- Those rip off, arrogant froggy street merchants doing high dives off the Eiffel Tower onto the bullshit beach volley ball court whilst London thrives.

Congratulations to our British friends, have a good one.

Cash in a Wheelbarrow please!!

Well done to London, and lets hope that it does all that they claim for London and for sport in general

Nice one Jai Dee - Obviously my soothsaying powers are better than I thought....

[britmaveric]

Well some of the Frenchies were alright - like the band in Paris. Started playing the Bond theme once the announcement was made.

[khunlungphudhu]

Well done London!

Unfortunatly, like with WW2, the winner picks up the tab.

Has Oz paid off it's mortgage yet?

I think the frogs will cheer up when they get around to thinking about it!

[ProfessorFart]

Blur has already decreed that this will not be a tax payers burden.

I don't belive him somehow but I see this as something worth paying for. My Council tax seems to go on African/Turkish/Bangladeshi/ add every f*cking leeching immigrant community centres so if a slice of my hard earned is going to go on something BRITAIN can be proud of the I'm happy to shell out.

[Siam_superfly]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUURRAAAHHHHHHHHHH. still won't go there though

Congratulations flooded in from all over the world.

Canada,USA,Germany,Denmark,Sweden,Norway,Belgium,Holland,Thailand,Australia,New Zealand and even France said well done.

Siam Superfly said' You'll get whitewashed'

Hmmm interesting post Lampard.....How do u mix London winning the Games and The Ashes ???......

Congrats to London.....British Airways must be having a party !!

[The_Moog]

....here's another quote from todays French Press that even a non-speaker can deduce.

Coe a su lentement mais sûrement masser les zones érogènes des membres du CIO

[Siam_superfly]

They should have picked Baghdad......

[samran]

This was sent to me by some Aussie mates in London. Excuse the French...and the bad Pun!
