Wez Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Does anyone here actually want us to win then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Yes me! It will improve a lot of things,create jobs and by then I should have kids who will be able to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience. Should also rejuvinate some shitty areas and hell it'll be exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well this country can't organise a piss up in a brewery at the best of times in normal day to day stuff, so if it does fall on us its gonna be "interesting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Yes me! It will improve a lot of things,create jobs and by then I should have kids who will be able to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience. Should also rejuvinate some shitty areas and hell it'll be exciting! Well said. After the stuff Chirac has come out with recently, it would be poetic justice if his comments caused the French to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I remember when Manchester bid on it and they thought they'd good as got it. 808 State even did the Olympic tune. Shame they didn't get it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Will livingstone charge people to go into central London on the days when the olympics are on? He better bloody not!

Class One Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 "come on England"?? Don't you mean come on Great Britain. Its a British bid not an English bid! Will it be good if we win? Who's got t pay for it? The Great british tax payer. Look at the fuck up of the Millenium Dome. Do we need the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Will it be good if we win? Who's got t pay for it? The Great british tax payer. This is my main concern, how much is it going to cost, way too much, we pay enough for crap like this already. EDIT to add that I would much rather watch it on TV somewhere else knowing i have more money to spend on my Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Looks like It'll be Paris that gets it. The bookies odds on Paris have dropped and London's have increased. Bookies don't often get these things wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
