LONDON

hahahahahhahahhahahahhahahah SUCK ON THAT FRANCE! HA

London has got it
yippeeeeee

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!

Excellent stuff

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!!

wooohhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo YAY US!!!!!

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

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.

Superb news

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

do you think he will stick his fingers in his ears and go ner ner ne nere ner

pmsl @ Munz

Surely p*sses over Monsieur Chiracs french fries????

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

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?

sorry but hahahahahahahahaha any way

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

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...

Wow theres a surprise (NOT)

Almostanangel,

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

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?!!

Sorry but it is funny

That he is coming over and will be eating British food

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...

statford though soooooo funny when you know the area

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