Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

that is the correct answer

There had better be as most of the money (US$18.5 billion) has been spent or committed. Therefore London needs the TV revenue, merchandising, tourists etc.
I expect there will be cutbacks/savings though.

Yes there will. Only the gold medals will be replaced by promissory notes.

It'll be different alright. Back to basics;

Christians fed to the lions in the main stadium.

Overall there should be a lot of focus on running.


Welcome to the London games

I really can't see us lasting to 2012 in a way that would warrant some silly sports event for the not so academically bright so they picked sports brigade.
I think PO and CC will make the 2012 games a no go. We have 4 years, time will tell - but my money is on no olympics in 2012

NEW 2012 LOGO JUST ANNOUNCED.


No Gold medals, as uncle Gordon sold all the gold a couple of years ago. I believe plastic gold & silver coloured ones on order from China. Bronze ones will be real, unless the economy sinks lower.

Yes, Indeed were all "Pissed Off" here in the UK, as our chancellor has officially stated - using those exact words.

Wonder what Obama would say? Won't we all have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Officially "pissed off", Gasmon

Need to wait for Britain to seal up its borders and start rounding up the foreigners.
