London got the olympics for 2012, I've just heard the announcement on the radio. I cannot wait to go to some of the games. During the Sydney olympics my wife and I decided to go to Athens for the next games. Then we had the kids and it was out of the question. In 2012, we can all go and it's on the doorstep. YES.
There are problems to overcome in staging it, building the stadiums and accommodation, shoring up the transport system, getting the funding and so on. These things can be achieved.
To all the cynics out there, I know there are problems associated with hosting the event but nothing worth having is easy to get.
Oooooh, the Red Arrows display team have just flown past leaving a red, white and blue smoke trail, well this is something worth celebrating.
On a final note, it is a particularly good feeling to beat France after Chirac's comments prior to G8. I'd rather have roast beef over frog's legs any day.
