We won the bid over Paris, and the 2012 olympics are coming to London!!

 

All those lovely, fit men running our way - - hurrah

[Mrs Frugal]

Ooooh, I've come over all hot and bothered now, Gina ! Congratulations to everyone concerned. Hope it lives up to expectations!

My son is going to so excited.

He's so into sport and has shown a lot of talent for judo, but has been letting it take a back seat to football and tennis. He did promise that if we won the Olympic bid he'd work harder at it, ie train occasionally because a few years back his judo coach said that if he kept it up he could go all the way. And his judo club is being rebuilt with state of the art facilities, partly with the idea of providing training camps pre-Olympics. So now I've got grounds to nag him back to judo. Such a clean sport (compared to football anyway)

[Autism]

Good luck to him

 

If he has a talent you'll have to give him a push. These lads are so faddy-one week tennis next week badminton,etc etc............... I'm sure you know what I mean

I have so much sports equipment in the garage it's unbelievable

 

My eldest is now into golf and thinks he's going to be the next "Tiger Woods" in fact thats what he wanted to call the chickens (Tiger & Woods) had to put my foot down and say NO

Imagine calling "Tiger" in the garden & a chicken appearing!

Yes, brilliant news re London bid. I don't really follow athletics etc yet I'm excited & planning to go!

I was saying to daughter, just hope the transport is put in place. Its impossible to travel around London sometimes even now & there'll be so many people! But, as she said, maybe it will force some of those public transport connections to be improved & have a real long term benefit.

Well done London, hurray for Stratford, East End. If you ever get the chance, go to theatre royal, Stratford East, its a real gem.

Will be watching the judo in 2012!

And well done to the London team from here in France

And commiserations to you guys over there. I bet you feel a little torn don't you Bill ?

We should have a laugh and have the chicken olympics-sweetcorn works wonders in getting them to do what you want-except to shut up that is.

[Popcorn]

Yeah, we could set something up similar to what they do at the dogs, but instead of a stuffed rabbit to chase, they could have a tub of sweetcorn to run after.
