Is anyone else holding their breath re the Olympic bid?

[flashingnose]

I really hope we get it

Right, well I'm off to make lunch for the DDs - see anyone who is remotely interested back here at 12.46

london doesn't even have a stadium, does it?

The new Wembley will be finished soon?

teeavee. Can you imagine the British and French having to co-operate over something? It would be marvellous. Could do us all the world of good.

Of course I know that British and French can and do get on BTW.

Ici!

Sailing has already built a centre in weymouth IIRC so that can be used by locals from now on

DEFFO BRILL

Dh has suggested that it might be better if the French won it because the Brits are gracious in defeat.

(I like that, I can quote Dh and then he get's rebuked not me!)

HMC - wasn't implying any thickness, honestly . Just was wanting to show off my knowledge of Olympics dates .

now tuned into 5live

PiccadillyCircus, you may be very knowledgeable about past olympic dates & locations but can you remember where you left your housekeys??

PC, no worries. I wasn't taking umbrage - just didn't want you to think that I was a dunce!

blimy i will be 44!

But clearly I am a dunce because I have managed to post ostensibly the same thing, but worded differently, twice

They are in the back door at the moment.

Although where my pass to get into work is (working from home today) I have no idea.

We in the Kanga house absolutely love the Olympics and so will be glued to watching it whether it is here or in paris

It is just that would love to go and see it live IYSWIM in this country

So it will be DEFFO BRILL if we get it and ok if they get it,

I can see a positive in that we won't have to pay for it but will still be able to watch in nearly the same time zone on Television.Rather than staying up all night to watch like in Sydney.

no breath being held around here.

Yep deffo brill!

God, the thought of actually being there when (for example) Kelly Holmes won - fantastic and the kind of thing you remember forever.

Bah humbug nightynight

We are all going to be seriously deflated on here in approx. 20 minutes time

Keep the faith, hmc

Good point RTKM - at least we can watch things at a sensible time.

• ok will try...

I think if we are victorious Kanga should start a thread entitled "deffo brill" where we can celebrate

so funny i am origanly from east london and used to get the s1 bus to statford which is where the they will be held.........cant belive it was such a dive then lol
