    London 2012

    Has anyone got Olympic tickets? Or are you Londoners getting as far away as possible to avoid the crowds?

    Considering going to Italy or Spain for the month...
    Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

    Who cares who can throw a stick the furthest?

    Biggest waste of money possible.

    We could have spent the money giving the thickos at school some kind of useful education or paying for some cancer drugs the NHS can't afford.

      I'd hope to have a staycation and just playing online games and visiting places outside London like Bletchley

      Unless I get offered a lucrative contract during the Olympics, bench time sounds better

      My current gig ends in May, so I'll probably end up in London grrrr

        It's going to be unbearable.

        I remember the blanket coverage of the Commonwealth Games in Manchester and thought that was bad enough. This is going to go off the scale!

          Glad I'm not the only one.

              Hi Sas.
              What happens in General, stays in General.

                I'm dreading the prospect of getting a gig in London then. Presumably accommodation will be impossible to find, which means another stint of driving a 180 mile round-trip to Stanmore and back each day. I did that for a couple of weeks last year and it sucks

                  Well I for one can't wait, I think it'll be great.

                    There's something in the news today about the mammoth security cost overruns. In the £billions. I wonder if it will go bomb free.
