    Default 2012 Olympics to be held in London.

    Full details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/4655555.stm

    Can't say I'm a huge olympics fan, but it's pretty cool nontheless. Hopefully it'll finally satisfy the UK organisations who campaign for this every time the bid rolls around. That said, I can't believe we beat France's bid by four votes. Discuss.

    London? O_o

    I guess it's Tea and crumpets for the winner

    One question though. Where are the 2008 Olympics being held?

    Yes I was pretty suprised when I heard this, I'm still amazed at us beating France. NY was ahead of us too but they couldn't get planning permission to build the olympic stadium

    BTW I think the link should be
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/4655555.stm

    and the 2008 olympics are going to be held in Beijing(sp)
    There used to be a real me, but I had it surgically removed.

    Fuck! Weren't they going to be held in Madrid? Damn, that bomb those terrorists blew in that new Olympics center recently fucked us Spaniards over... Have they ever been held in the UK before? Well... at least it's not going to be held in NYC.

    Link fixed, thanks for the heads up GG.

    Soeru, apparently they were last held in London waaaaaaay back in 1948. The only thing that really bothers me about this event is that the UK government and other various people will be constantly going on about this for the next seven years...

    London? London? That's a surprise.
    Cool, though. I wonder if it's ever going to be held in Sweden again...

    That's cool it's in London. I wished it was in New York. I think that'll be cool for us here. 2008 is from Bejing, and you know they're gonna have a party.
