Is anyone else holding their breath re the Olympic bid?

[flashingnose]

I really hope we get it

7.30pm their time - what time is that here?

How old will DS and DS2/DD be in 2012? DS will be 8.5 and DS2/DD will be nearly 7. Will probably have another one by then I imagine.

I will be nearly 37.

I'm surprised at how excited I am about this.

I think we will get it.

Got to take Ds2 to nursey at 12:40 but will take my radio with me to hear the announcment as it happens.

if london loses out, i'd rather madrid got it

New York are already out.

Too late bundle

Oh, no it has to be on another continent entirely - and even then, it won't be far enough for me!

OMG, I will be 39 ...nearly, gulp, 40!
And DS will be 8 and new DS/DD will be 6!!!!!!
Blimey!

And Madrid are out.

1136 BST: Madrid is the third city to be eliminated.
Matt Williams, BBC Radio Five Live, Madrid
Disappointment, shock and surprise - those are the feelings here. They were chanting 'A Madrid' before the announcement but that has now changed and I can't repeat what they're saying now.

ETA have been doing their best to sabotage the Madrid bid though

i will be coming up 30! Dh will be nearly 34! Jess will be 8! new babe coming up 7!!!

DS will be 17 and so the right age to compete

Sorry did not want to offend anyone

It is just that I would have pprefered it to go to one of the other cities

I think New york would have been my first choice really for an alternative

what frequency is Five Live on?

We live near the proposed main site. I really hope we don't get it.

Why NQC?

Nope.

I will be 44 , dd will be 14 and ds coming up for 9.

Radio 5 - 693 and 909 MW I think (have it on the computer all day so forget where it is on the dial)

Madrid was never going to get it because Barcelona had it so recently.

London would implode. I think Paris should have it.

To me, it looks like a win win situation all round if London get it - put me right soupy/NQC.

I hate sports, crowds. Also, used to live in a city with a big Olympic stadium we were still paying for when it fell apart. Never really worked right, anyway.

Buildings should be made for longterm use, or adaptability, not for a few weeks' use.

DS1 will turn 12 in Sept 2012
DS2 will turn 9 in November 2012

And the transit/congestion situation won't improve, either.

funny bit on french news where they showed british journalists asking awkward questions to the french bid team, and vice versa.

I have to say that I would hate to see Seb Coe becoming a 'national hero' if London won - the Paris mayor, Bertrand Delanoe, has done a lot of really good things for Paris already, and I like his style. Much less tacky than Posh and Becks too!

This is going to go great for Anglo French relations, which are already strained, innit?

Obviously hope that it is London
