    [​IMG] The Olympic games are coming to London, and as someone who lives in the UK, I can't wait.

    It will also be a huge boost for sports in general in the UK, and in my book that's never a bad thing.

    It would had been rather interesting if they had chosen Moscow, considering how slooow their bureocrasy is. London isn't a bad choise, but I bet these Olympics will be very, very expensive...

    For those of you, who are living in London and working in construction and security, it will be heaven on earth, you are going to earn lot of money. As for the rest, and especially those, who live near the olympic facilities, have patience and prepare to pay them for the next 20 years :D .

    English should thank Jacques Chirac’s here are his comments on England.

    “The only thing they’ve ever done for European agriculture is mad cow.”

    “We can’t trust people who have such bad food. After Finland, its the country with the worst food.”

    BOC is talking from experience. Expect plenty of disruption in London for years to come.

    It's going to be tough to follow up the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Good luck, you Brits will need it. :)
