"back the bid - make britain proud" is what you see all over the place here. Olympic games you see. London wants them. Please spare us I say (tho tbh I doubt I'll even still be here in 2012). NYC is in the bid too apparently. Just read an article about it.
Could someone please explain the point to me? 
WHY would you wanna put up with the summer olympic games unless you're in the tourism industry or you're a sports freak? Serioulsy... WHY???? ARE YOU ALL MASOCHISTS OR WHAT!?!??! It'll make everyone's life a misery!!! You utter twats!!
*cough* As you can see I am still as moody and negative as ever. 
Tomorrow it will all be better. Hopefully. If not I will stay in bed until Monday or sth.
The olympics would be fucking great, imo.

Paris has all the banners everywhere too... all down the Champs Elysee, the Eifel Tower and the smelly metro.
There are far too many people in Paris too.

so paris wants the games too?? tsk tsk
I'm with the wambeast on this one.
Posted by: squiZZle on Sun February 27, 2005 at 2:23I don't want London to win.
Londoners will be the ones paying for it and I refuse to give anymore of my money to this country.
Posted by: Mel on Mon February 28, 2005 at 14:15A thriving tourist industry helps the economy for ALL OF US, and "winning" the bid will make a great many Britons feel special and lift the general mood of the nation...for a bit.
Either way I'm against the nationalism, one-upmanship and pointlessness of the Olympics in principle.
Posted by: Geoffrey Guru-Murthy on Mon February 28, 2005 at 16:09I doubt it will be worth it economically in the long run. All the money wasted to build the unnecessary infrastructure. And why should it make anyone feel special? Not like it's our merit.
