So London will be the best games ever, according to Lord Coe, who won his medals in the 800 and 1500 metre puny chest in a vest event in years when either the steroid pumped Russians, or cocaine fuelled Yanks were sulkily staying at home. Let's not forget that the 1980 boycott of the Moscow games by the Americans also led to "Big" Allan Wells, a huge clumsy, lumbering Scot with pasty white skin, becoming the most unlikely winner of the 100m in history.
Do we want the games though? I don't think we do, and the only interest is coming from people like Tony Blair and Ken Livingstone who are both pushing it for entirely selfish political reasons. Livingstone has the same childish habit of drawing insulting and totally non-sensical comparisons with anyone who disagrees with him, to Nazis. This type of person is too wrapped up in their own selfish interests to stop and think for a minute just how insulting these glib, ill-thought and ignorant remarks are. He's like all the self-righteous, selfish and lazy, piss-taking people with whom you've had to share a house over the years, who will call you a Nazi if you so much as mention the fact that they've done something ignorant and/or selfish. If the IOC decide not to give us the games, he'll probably just lose his shitty little temper and liken them to Hitler.
Anyway, I don't think London stands much chance, not because of what Livingstone has said or done, but because we all know how corrupt the IOC have been in the past. I think Paris is going to get the games, simply because they will lay on the most and arguably best range of free booze and prostitutes, which always what seems to swing it in the end. Plus they have much cheaper fags as well, which must be one of the key considerations when planning where to build an Olympic Village.
Where are they going to build this village? The revolting dump that is Stratford, apparently. Stratford is on the up and can now boast that seat of learning, the University of East London, formerly known as Crescent News, Tobacco and Confectionery. It's on the Scalextric, or DLR as it's often called, and there's some sort of bus that goes to Stanstead Airport. This means it's well placed to become the international hub of culture, transport and sport, depicted in the Evening Standard, who just copied the picture of the "Brave New World" scene from the Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds record.
If they want to make it the best games ever they need to make a few little changes:
