Me too. I wish someone could explain to me what UK (even just
England) would get out of incurring a huge amount of debt just to
bring this to London. Maybe they want to recoup some of the
millions spent on the millennium dome?

I like the country that had no first choice, but had a second
and a third.

I think London is the perfect place for the Olympics.

That is a job for Grunge, our Turkish toilet expert.

Another job might be to some non-reactive original postings, Grunge.
You are a reactive poster, and lack originality.

Except it has few suitable stadiums, inadequate public transport and
the area chosen needs to be bombed flat before they can start.

I think it could be done, and I support the bid- because I think the
regeneration would be worth it. But, if Paris got it instead, that would
be fine with me too. Worth pointing out that one of the new Eurostar
stations in London will be very close to the site.

He is a stalker, has obsessions. But worse, he is not a primary
poster and nothing original comes out of his mind when is posts reactive.

I don`t know if he gets many responses. JBK posts a lot, reactively, but
gets few responses, he having been killed filed by many.

As to this current posting subject, Paris as the site of the 2012
Olympics, I am not convinced that Parisians are for except as a matter
of civic pride. Of course, Paris is built to welcome large numbers of
people but the cost of building extra facilities is what would
be on local minds.

UK should not have to link regeneration to the Olympic Games.

but it is well known that there is no air conditioning in Paris and as
a result millions of Americans would stay away, not to mention that by
2012 Paris will have a similar climate to Iraq and that vineyards will
have been established on Rockall.
