Well, it's official, the 2012 Olympics will be visiting London - and hopefully brining a nice new transport infrastructure with it laugh.gif

Commiserations to the other four cities (Moscow, New York, Madrid and Paris), but there is some good news for all my work colleagues in France - they're all over here for a visit to us (which we pay for) next week - so no ranting.gif argue.gif wallbash.gif and plenty of drunk.gif will soon result!

I'm particularly looking forwards to the sailing/windsurfing/etc events that'll take place here - in the freezing waters off Cornwall I should imagine boat.gif . How many non-UK entrants will be able to climb back onto their boats/boards after falling in? teehee.gif

Right, must go back to work.

Congratulations Great Britain on London being awarded the bid for host city of the 2012 Olympics!

(who is still confused how just minutes before the LIVE announcement on network TV at 8:50 EST the ticker on CNN ran the announcement blink.gif )
