Is that dome thingy in the east end of London still around?
You know, the cringe making sight of our Tony (he will probably still be around in 012) doing Auld Lang Syne with Betty. Compares only to imaging
your parents making love.
Do you want a repeat of the above?

I agree with the idea of there being a "UK" olympic bid, but just London does seem very selfish considerinhg how well Manchester did with
a few years back when it hosted the commonwealth games.

It would be nice to get the facilities,the shame of it is there would be no profit for any sponsors as the security costs would take care of that.
I'm sure someone somewhere will milk a shed load of money out of it,and we had better count all the olympians incoming to make sure they all go
back

It'll also make life hell for all the commuters from East Anglia - mind you, I don't intend to be commuting in 2012!

Its taken the powers to be god knows how long to re-build wembley stadium, god knows how much longer it will take before its finished & even then
I doubt it will last as long as the original. Then we have the millenium dome farce, the central library, the scotish parliament
building..........etc........etc...........etc............ it would be nice if we could put it on but it will be late, over budget, and quite possibly
an eyesore. IMHO. (OH And watch out for tony & his lovies trying to score brownie points off it.)
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

The modern olympics is too big for any one city, regardless of country.
The left over facilitys are far too greater capacity for locals of one city to make most of, let allon the cost.
A whole country hosting the games is far more sustainable, especially if the games are going to continue expanding.

visitors....then they were asking for locals to let out rooms to athleets and their followers,visitors etc,seen the price of a hotel here?
as jason pointed out us londoners will have to foot the bill,lots of small buisnesses will have to be moved,lets just hope id dissapears when the IOC
realise what a bunch of clowns run london and the building sites they were shown will still be building sites in 2012

If Ken insults enough Jewish journalists it'll never happen . I somehow think he doesn't really want it anyway

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
