    Stop whining

    Says Coe, the runner guy. He also says the Games will be safe and secure, so that's all right then.

    He urged people to "cut out the whining", and to "get behind our team and the Games".

    I've already done my bit and have voted for the Olympians that I would most like to get behind.

    In other news Roger Bannister is still alive I wonder if he will light the cauldron. No woman has yet run a sub four minute mile, not even ones with husky voices. Steve Redgrave would also be acceptable.

    If the ticket sales had been fairer I would get behind it.

    Though I enjoyed our visit to HMS Ocean. And the visit to the missiles at Oxleas meadow.

      I got free ticket for myself and a guest, how much fairer do you want it to be?

            Now there's an idea for the kid's school holidays - a trip to the Olympic missile sites

              I found it really amusing to hear about local residents trying to get those sites removed by taking legal action

              Did something like this happen during Battle of Britain I wonder?

                Apparently they felt it was making them a "target", hmmmmm, not sure if al-qaeda's prime target is going to be a high rise block full of chav scum in the east end.

                I'm sure the no-win, no-fee solicitors are having a field day on this.

                  They'd be targetting the missiles... the tower block would be collateral damage

                    The way they were sold was a complete shambles.

                    (And yes I've got some. I also can see some events free if I can be bothered.)
