London 2012 Olympic bid

You omitted: 'Impossibler to get to through any sensible means, or
without driving through industial wasteland'

Heh. Were they ever used?

Well it was a minute ok, are you sure you checked properly?

 

Would make quite a start though wouldn't it?

As an example, you could give 1200 people £25 000 each to go get a flat, get
some training and get a job.

 

Yes, but I'm facing the other way :>

Oh no you're not.

Looks like they tried to make out they did though ;o)

 

I sort of meant "in comparison to the other (closer) Multiplex near
me, the UGC at Southbury Corner".

Actually, the UCI's been a lot better since the UGC opened, because
most of the scum go to the UGC instead.

 

It's neither "right next to the North Circular" or "in Edmonton". It's
about a 1/2 a mile north of the NC, on Meridian Way.

No-one lives in the area - it's a fucking industrial zone.

 

That can only be a good thing. TBH I've not been to the UCI since I
moved last June. Not that Harlow is any better you understand

JPEG!

 

Twas on the news this morning that each household in the greater London area
(BBC) will have to contribute £20 towards the bid through Council tax etc
etc.

I'll take that as a whoosh then.

I never said £30 million would sort out the homeless problem. If you
bothered to read I said the money would be better spent elsewhere than just
pissing up the wall on a futile excerise YTC ;-)

'kin cheap flats.

 

Indeed! It's being so cheerful that keeps me going.

I don't live in London. hth.

Here's a cut and paste from your original post :

"£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."

I merely paraphrased "getting the dossers off the streets" as "sorting
the homeless problem".

 

I think that's Cane's dept

Oh no it isn't!

You are a very bad man, Mr. Champion

 

If I was him, I would have kept quiet about that.

 

Eh ? Hosting the Olympics is a *good thing* to do.

I really don't see why the cost or anything else for that matter is an
issue. FFS all the good things cost money, and London could easily
afford it. If £60m guarantees the Games here, i'd *gladly* pay my
share, and paying up some more later, for getting stuff done, so be
it. I can't see any reason why London should not go for it.

Sure I'm not convinced either of the bid line up nor the resident liar
in the House - a Steve Redgrave or similar recent might have been a
far better choice in the spotlight than Seb Coe but - that is trivial.

If Sydney can do it, and well by all accounts, London could at least
try.

30m(?) taxpayers have 8 years to raise the money. That's a tenner a
year or less than a quid a month. Bargain.

 

Well, according to Clarkson last night, you can pick up an AK47 for 60 quid.

So, how many bullets can you buy for £29,999,940 - certainly enough to get
the dossers off the streets.
