And the 2012 Olympics go to...

London has won the 2012 Olympics.
As a Londener myself I was watching the decision live with around 10 000 others in Trafalger Square. I was fortunate enough to go to the Athens Olympics last year and I think London's will be even better. The victory was made even more satisfying because of comments made by Chirac a couple of days ago.

These comments on British food? Yeah, that was very... diplomatic.

Anyway - sincere congrats to all Londoners here at Technodrome

I shudder to think what the USD/Euro to British Pound exchange rate will be in 2012, particularly because London is such a damned expensive place. But all those foreigners will be a great boost for the British economy, not to mention the tourism industry.

So, provided I'm not dead or otherwise engaged, I'm so there.

And again my hopes for the Olympic games being held in Zagreb, Croatia are crushed once more.

Ahh, macho men and women on steroids competing for international bragging rights, and abosultely no cash whatsoever. Such entertainment.
