LOL... I toyed (for about 2 seconds) about making it an Olympic free zone, but I reckon it'll be impossible, so if you can't beat them, join them I say! [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2012-07-18 10:06 ]

I'll start, I find this interesting... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- London Olympics 2012: no cash incentives for Great Britain's medallistsGreat Britain is the only major London 2012 medal contender not to be offering any financial bonus to athletes who win gold medals at this summer’s Games. Source: www.telegraph.co.uk---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash bonuses for U.S. Olympic medalsAmerican athletes get relatively modest payouts compared to what some other countries offer. ($600K gold bar). Do medals mean money? A look at Olympic bonuses. Source: www.sports.yahoo.com---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...In a nutshell, if British Olympians are indeed successful, they'll have to find ways to realise their own financial benefits from the corporate sector, in a tough economy when Olympic fever will be dying down!

What an outrage! London is hard enough to navigate round without these utterly pathetic olympic lanes just so the olympians can stay in park bloody lane!!!!

So, what did you think of the opening ceremony?     (Also, is it true the players have requested pool tables in the Olympic village? Can anyone link me to an authoritative source please?) [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2012-07-28 12:20 ]
