    and the Olympic commitee vote for ......London
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      With a few minor adaptations to the javelin tournament I think the London Olympics could be a huge success.

          As it is the 'London Olympics' that makes it local news and therefore I am not in the slightest bit interested

            True, my favoured one would be to line up UK politicians (all parties) down the field and award bonus points to the distances thrown for how grevious the damage inflicted and to whoom. Points deducted for a miss obviously and extra for hitting the microscopic targets like Hazel Blears or the brain of any minister.

            This could be adapted to all throwing events as I'm certain that a hammer, discus and shot could produce some impressive injuries.

            Is also valid.

              As I´ve said before, hammer and discus are really more suited to random decimation of a crowd; probably best for the non-cabinet MPs; just award points for how many decapitations and crushed ribcages. Shot and javelin are more precision events, where you could really use cabinet members wearing numbered T-shirts displaying the bonus points.

              Just to confirm your theory, I’ve seen what happens when a hammer lands on someone’s foot. Not at all pleasant.

                Although they have just been explaining on BBC news how it benefits the whole of the UK.

                For example the roof of the swimming stadium is being made out of steel made in Newport in South Wales. That'll be Corus then which is owned by .. Tata!

                  But the Welsh aren't owned by Tata or are they?

                  Does that explain why a bad Welsh accent sounds Indian?

                    On the day it was announced London was to host the blow-job-logo Olympics, I just assumed the government would outsource the whole thing to Paris.

                    It would be cheaper, better, less disruption and successful if they had.

                    I'm expecting it to be as much a success as any other big government project. An embarrassment.
