    Oh joy... wonder how much this will hit us in tax rises when it goes way way over budget.. which it will, take ages to get their as uk public transport is somewhere between walking pace and horse and cart ( then again a horse and cart would be more reliable ), then cost 2 arms and a leg to stay in or around london.

    then most likely end up and another white"dome"elephant :rolleyes:


    ps. no doubt the news will be extended for this occasion to pat ol lord coe on the back.... wonder if he will be made Saint Coe...

    London, one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) tourist cities in the world to visit. :rolleyes: Great place for tourists to visit as far as $$$$, pounds, euros, are concerned. I don't think.:p I suppose the locals will get the lions share of the tickets, though, as always happens.

    Look at the security around Gleneagles for the G8 meeting.
    Imagine how it is going to be in London, if terrorism, and Al Qaueda, are still as promininent as they are now. It will be almost impossible to move around London, freely, I would guess. Still best of luck, London. Bazza

    grumble grumble, grumble grumble.

    How many roads were closed for Live8? How many tube services were out of action for Live8? How much agro was caused to everyone for getting to or even near Live8?

    Sheesh, we can't even handle our own inhabitants, lest any other visitors...

    I have a horrible feeling its going to hit me when I'm in uni, or just left, in the form of prohibitave increaces in taxes/living costs in the "Olympic City".

    Sorry, I should be jubilating like the rest of the country :rolleyes:

    Hm. Would the left-spin be more accurate Down Under?? NASA should commission a study.

    If so, firearms south of the equator should utilize a left twist rifling for accuracy. We may be onto something significant here Star.
