It's amazing how something that big that is going to be a financial boom can be such a pain in the ass that people complain about. Obviously some people in London need to grow some.

The Olympics these days: To much money, to much corruption, to much risk, to much building work, to much of everything. And a major city like London doesn't need this kind of attention it already has enough of its own. I never understood why they got it in the first place. It must have been corruption. My major concern this time around isn't necesssarily the medal boards (Sweden's Olympic Troop is probably the weakest in modern times) - it's the safety issue. Let's all hope that nothing sinister happens during these games.

It's an old and honoured British custom to complain about everything, and especially to complain about big events that everyone is supposed to enjoy, like Christmas and the Olympics. One needs to be seen to be above actually getting interested or enthusiastic like the common herd - and of course WE have booked our holiday for the Olympic fortnight in a remote villa with no TV where we will congratulate ourselves on being able to pretend it isn't happening. Oh yes, and it's a waste of money, too.
Bah Olympic humbug! Let them complain - I think they enjoy moaning and bitching, just like some of us.
