Haggis throwing, you've got to catch your own.
As I'm only 1 hour away from London I might see if I can go some of the Olympics. I don't think that Chirac done himself any favours with his racist comments about Brits.
Re: London 2012
Hopefully they'll add rugby too, preferably 15s, but 7s would do at a pinch.
Re: London 2012
Snooker and Darts, because we'd be unstoppable.
Rugby and Cricket, I'd fancy us to get at least a medal.
Also, we should definately be able to field a Great Britain football team. Its a complete joke that the very inventors of the game are not allowed to field an Olympic football team because of a technicality.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

That's bloody optimistic in view of the Lions lamentable performance...still, cricket looks more hopeful.Rugby and Cricket, I'd fancy us to get at least a medal
I'd add dominoes to the list of sports, bar billiards would be obvious, and as the world nettle eating championships are held in England each year nettle eating should be at least a demonstration sport.
I suppose this means I will have to move out of London fairly soon to stop my council tax doubling when Ken completely cocks up the construction projects by insisting on employing only lesbian crane drivers etc?

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

Re: London 2012
Darts would be fantastic, but I wouldn't rule out the Dutch - Barneveld, Stompe, Van Der Voort, Schoelton - reckon we'd have a challenge on our hands there!Darts, because we'd be unstoppable
Re: London 2012
Strange thing was that it was never a race between London and Paris, but London and Madrid for most of it.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Congrats to the Brits.
I'm sure Blair is rubbing it in to the French at the G8 summit.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: London 2012
Congrats to the Brits for landing the 2012 Summer Games
We hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Mrs ichi and I got to attend a few events. Definitely a good time. I hope that you'all pull it off, avoid any 'security' problems, and get something lasting out of it.

Re: London 2012
Congrats brits, you just earned yourselves 10 more years of debts for yourselves. I don't get what people are chearing for, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THAT!!!
This will take away from investment in roads and hospitals! Great! *Hooray for us!*
Re: London 2012
Not at all, the money is being put up separately from general taxation and the fools tax - the national lottery - so none of those problems. The things you can do with a fast growing economy and growing taxes, eh?
And the development of the areas where the games will be held will have a huge impact in helping an area of east london which has been run down for years upon years. Fully worth it and it is great to get the games.

Re: London 2012
I'd love to see 20/20 cricket at the Olympics, even though the Brits are dominating it...
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the first game I watched. Electric.
Re: London 2012
Congrats to the Brits! Better you than us! (Nobody in their right mind wanted the O's in NYC -- what a nightmare.)
