(woW> London wins the race to host the 2012 Olympic games, as I dont think there are any members from Paris here, I dont feel bad about talking about it.

This is great news for the UK, as sport really needs a figure head as more and more kids over here get really over weight. Plus its just a load of fun, lots of sport over a few weeks. Its great to watch, hopefully I'll be able to go down and cheer people on. (woW>

So what does everyone else think?

I'm just wondering if the French President ruined paris' chances with his comments about English cuisine.

Though I am glad it was London, and not New York.

i agree. New York just doesnt fit....

yeah it's cool. I might even go and watch some of it. Could be fun to experience the olympic vibes up close.

awhhh your all so lucky! gosh i wish the olympics would come somewhere near me!

but when you think about it, you get the best view of the opening ceremony on the tellie haha .. but i suppose nothing can compare to really being there!

Another reason I would love to visit London.
