After watching the London presentation yes :) Was very impressive and gave a flavor that it will be a great games if London do win it.

Also will make the Frenchies even more pissed so :)

Odd.

When they finally get started voting they can eliminate the no-hopers in under 10 minutes, but then have to wait an hour before the final vote?

Time wasting paper shufflers, guess its not odd at all really ;)

yes, although i will be moving from my current flat which is 100 meters from the proposed site of the olympic stadium in 3 weeks (not that i would be there in 7 years time anyway)

but hell, i'd love the olympics on my doorstep, not to mention the major boost to the East London economy (and culture and facilities) which is well overdue.

I agree with everything above.

I live in Manchester and the commonwealth games were great fun so I'm sure the olympics will be more so.

I lived in South Woodford for a couple of years and I remember what Stratford used to look like 10 years ago. The redevelopment for the games will be the icing on the cake.

If we win it will piss off the french. For no other reason I'd want us to win! :clap:



So heres hoping

I chcked Map Point as o posted that, i see.

It's sad that it's already deteriorated into yucky nationalism. Whats actually gonna happen is other countries are going to come here and beat us at eveyrthing.

Turns out that London only just beat Madrid by 2 votes in the 3rd round to avoid getting knocked out, and only beat Paris by 4 votes in the final vote.

Do love how the Madrid crowd cheared when London won.

Am so glad it is coming to London.

At least in my lifetime my place of birth will host the games and I can be part of the culture that gave the bird to that french ****.

I don't like the French, never have done, never will. Christ, they never thanked us for liberating them, they claim they did it themselves. Personally shoulda left them to Germany as a loser's prize.

Anyway, where was I? YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY for Looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddddddddddon.
