    PROPOSED OLYMPIC OPENING CEREMONY FOR LONDON, 2012

    The Olympic flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the city (preferably from Tower Hamlets), wearing the traditional hoody. The flame will be contained in a large chip van situated on the roof of the stadium.

    THE EVENTS

    In previous Olympic games, London's competitors have not been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local 'London' athletes.

    100 METRE SPRINT
    Competitors will have to hold a video recorder and microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a cage 10 metres behind the athletes.

    100 METRE HURDLES
    As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges, gardens, fences walls etc.)

    HAMMER
    Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, sledge etc.) the winner will be the one who can cause the most grievous bodily harm to members of the public within the time allowed.

    FENCING
    Entrants will be asked to dispose of as much stolen silver and jewellery as possible in 5 minutes.

    SHOOTING
    A strong challenge is expected from the local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a post office clerk , bank teller or Securicor style wages delivery man.

    BOXING
    Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence.

    CYCLING TIME TRIALS
    Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy from the country on his first trip away from home. All against the clock.

    CYCLING PURSUIT
    As above but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.

    MODERN PENTATHLON
    Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, snorting a line, joy riding and arson.

    THE MARATHON
    A safe route has yet to be decided , but the competitors will be issued with sharp sticks and bags with which to pick up litter on their way round the course.

    SWIMMING
    Competitors will be thrown off the bridge into The Thames. The first three survivors back, will decide the medals

    MEN'S 50KM WALK
    Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of London.

    THE CLOSING CEREMONY

    Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of the Peckham Health in the Community anti-drug campaigners, synchronised rock throwing and music by the Camden Community Choir. The Olympic flame will be extinguished by someone dropping an old washing machine onto it from the top floor of the block of flats next to the stadium. The stadium will be then boarded
    up before the local athletes break into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating boiler.
