I Can Feel It Building Up But .....

[regulus]

I'm reminded of it everyday as my company did a lot of the construction works. I'm sure it will be a lovely event before, in a few years time, the area will fall into a dilapidated state ala Stratford and all will be forgotten again.

You guys are just funny.

Millions of tax payers money yes. But think about what it does for the rest of the economy of the country. Hotels BnBs, that little sandwich shop in london? All will be rammed, giving them some nice income.

+ at the price of tickets, they will make a nice buck back on the investment.

Olympic sports are the only ones that matter. Can't wait for this to begin!

 

[LOAM]

I to can feel something "building up" and whilst its not the Olympics, the actual outcome will be identical.

London Benefits

I couldn't give a crap about who can run the fastest or throw a stick the furthest.

The only way I could care less about the Olympics is if I was American and unable to understand that the correct term is "couldn't care less".

I thought this was going to be a medical thread asking for advice on how to cure constipation.

This has been my sentiment on it too. I may live in London, but my heart is in Yorkshire. Not sure what financial benefit is brought to Bradford, or Dumfries or Carlisle by the Olympics.

 

[jp_bl_68]

Not a sport person so couldn't care less about it.

All it means to me is cost to the taxpayer.

Same here.

We should have let Paris have the games.

 

[Basher]

Same here.

We should've have let Paris have the games.

I'm willing to pay the extra £1 or whatever it'll be to fund the games, just as long as France lost

Think of all the disruption it'll cause. The road cycle course goes right past my office, so I guess it'll be closed for a week beforehand to make sure terrorists don't plant any IEDs on the route. They'll also have to resurface all the potholed roads which will cause major traffic disruption - at least it's London taxpayers paying not me.

Unless your office is on the start/finish line the road will be closed for at most the day, probably a couple of hours either side of the race passing through.

Some people might arrive early/stay late to visit some places in the UK? Not the places you mentioned but Manchester, Bath, Brighton, Blackpool D), Cornwall etc?

Disappointed. Thought thread might be about a constipated OP.
