[Aero]

I honestly never though that would excite as much, but wow!!! I just got a lump in my throat and I'm not a particularly sporty person! My kids will be old enough then to enjoy it so it's fab news!

[SPARKLER1]

Excellent stuff

[Carameli]

I konw what you mean, I was unsure about whether or not I wanted it here but its brill and my dd will be old enough to really enjoy it. She will be 9 when it comes here so will really try to get to go to it at the time.

Great news!!

[munz]

wooohhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo YAY US!!!!!

pi**es all over jaques's chips don't it!

[beatie]

I'm suprisingly excited too It's so nice to have moments these days when you can be proud to be British.

After Mr Chiraq's comments about the Brits this week I can't help but feel a little smug that we beat Paris too.

[dyzzidi]

Superb news

[Carameli]

es, they were also just saying it will be great for Blair when he sees Chirac at the G8 later on:-):-)

[almostanangel]

what a great day for taking a french stick and saying oi cherack stick that lol

[teeavee]

good news for london - but go easy on the JINGOISTIC ANTI-FRENCH NONSENSE, pleeeease - why do things like this bring out the worst in people?

[almostanangel]

sorry but hahahahahahahahaha any way

[Lizzylou]

Sorry Teavee....just in response to M Chirac's comments this week...........
He sort of set himself up for a fall, didn't he?

[handlemecarefully]

Yes at least Chirac won't have to worry about dreadful British cuisine when he gets to Gleneagles....I bet he has lost his appetite...

[nutcracker]

Wow theres a surprise (NOT)

[handlemecarefully]

Almostanangel,

Chirac deserves it. Not all of the french nation of course, but I think it's morally imperative to villify Chirac

[MissChief]

bloody brilliant! So pleased will- really help boost some forgotten parts of London which have loads of potential. Checked out house prices in Stratford anyone?!!

[RTKangaMummy]

Sorry but it is funny

That he is coming over and will be eating British food

[handlemecarefully]

On a more sober note, I shall spare a thought for those french mums everywhere currently posting their disappointment on the french equivalent of the Mumsnet talk boards...

[almostanangel]

statford though soooooo funny when you know the area

[handlemecarefully]

(and I'm not being sarcastic...)
