    What a fucking waste of time and money.

    a] We're not going to get it
    b] The bid alone will cost £30m +
    c] If we did get it Bliar and his cunts will **** it all up
    d] Seb **** is a Coe
    e] It'll end up like the Dome or Pickets Lock
    f] Why london? You can't fucking move in the place
    g] The event will cost £2.5bn which the tax payer will pay for
    h] The bid chairman is Barbara Cassani a champion **** up monkey

    ....shall I go on? AAARGGGHHH

    Omelettes - eggs
    Sounds like a good enough reason to me. It'll help the global economy to
    have another space race.

    On the news this morning - it's going to cost each household in greater
    London £20 on the tax.

    BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Can you imagine in. I have a very clear vision of pissups, brewerys and a
    total lack of organisational skills. Mind yew - thay do have a great track
    record with the Dome - although that was started by the previous lot of
    fuckwit incumbents.

    £30m would sort out a lot of problems in central London - like getting the
    dossers off the streets and promoting tourism to the UK etc etc.

    Don't bother - they can't hear you.

    Good, because...(see below)
    ....I'd rather not get it and then have (c) and (e)
    happen, IYSWIM.

    In an ideal world, I would like to see the areas of
    London in question 'regenerated' and also get some decent
    transport links up and running. I just can't see it
    though.
    There's more?

    Arguably the Olympics _will_ promote tourism to the UK.
