I bet we don't win the Olympic bid.


Edit:// Fuck, we did.

no bet.
if it's in france, a perfect excuse to take a longer holiday, so it's win-win.

london olympics = bad.
france olympics = good.

I don't care.
I'd deliberately not find out for the next seven years, but it's too much effort.

and blog it for a 2011 Newsletter.

well if we don't you can console yourself with the fact we won't have to pay for the fucker
and the bill might drive France to suicide

Who's this "we", paleface?

I
have to be honest and say that I would not shed any tears if we did or did not win the bid as the only decent olympics was the munich one in 1977 er 72 oh the one spielberg is making into a film..

I'm hoping Paris get it
it'll be another excuse for us to go en masse and trash france again a la 1998 (World Cup) and 1415 (Agincourt)

Not forgetting February 2004
Dave Rees's Stag Do/Booze Cruise.

They didn't know what hit 'em that weekend.

winter olympics are great,
I'd love to see them try and cram all the events onto one slope up in aviemore

Whenever the winter olympics are on, every man and his dog
becomes a self styled expert on ice dance. What on earth is that about?

All at the same time!

What's the one where you ski and shoot?
I'd prefer that if you were allowed to take pot shots at the slower skiers.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 13:09, archived)
It's just a biathlon event where they combine cross country skiing
with marksmanship.

I'd be quite happy if another country gets it.
It'll only be another excuse for Londoners to crawl further up their own insular arses in the belief that the entire universe revolves around them.

Having the Olympics is nice
and it's really quite good if you can get along to an event. But it is quite a lot of inconvenience wrapped in an enormous amount of media hype.

To be honest, seeing the Paralympics is better than the Olympics because tickets are reasonably priced whereas Olympics tickets are hideously expensive and impossible to get.
