Don't know which I'm more excited about - having the Olympics in my manor or sticking one up the surrender monkeys

Cost of Olympic village = £3.1bn

They are still in debt and paying off money they on on hosting the event. Hope the people in london have done their sums right or we'll have another millenimum dome farse.

If you do the same tour of the Barcelona facilities they tell you how it put the place back on the map, and what a fantastic city it is too. 'that' London is a different country for us northern types, they even speak a different language to us down there. Never the less, I guess I'll be working it so see ya all there

These attacks were carefully planned and executed, i doubt they can plan these things, make the bombs and co-ordinate it in a night. More than likely it was planned from when gleneagles G8 was announced a year ago.

I'm not bothered that we have got the olymipics to be honest... just another thing that London can add to the list and then when its all over all the facilities will propbably be forgotten about.. just like with the dome! And plus it will be too expensive to go down there 'for us' anyways! Put the hotel prices up etc... just a waste of money. Just watch ot on tele.. be cheaper! ;D
