Well i'm French and I regret that...
But well London is fine too... 
London and Paris are separated by one hour from flight.

It's a disaster. London can't handle it. Sigh.

some people, working near the convention centre the IOC meeting was held, will be so relieved from what i have heard on other forums, the place was practically flooded with security guards and policemen. david beckham even went to the school my mum is lecturing in, but she missed it

RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by Anubis on 07-06-2005 at 03:57 PM
W00t 
...I'm glad that the UK got it for once. We had a bid a while ago to get it for Manchester, but Syndny won, I'm really glad that it is in London.

I don't really care that England got it, I'm more happy that Paris didn't get it

RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by ayjay on 07-06-2005 at 04:15 PM

Olympics:
France:
1924 Paris
1900 Paris
England:
1944 London (cancelled)
1948 London
1908 London
I think it's fair for england to have the Olympics
Edit: add 1908 to London
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by Zephyr on 07-06-2005 at 05:47 PM
I'm so glad London got it because i live there, and i don't think it's going to be a disaster. It will make a big difference to London which will be good, like the transport will be improved.
I'm going to be 23 when its held and i can't wait to go see some of it.

I do really believe that it will be fine. There will be loads of work put into this and there will be a big change to accomodate for the olympics.
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by Fraisie on 07-06-2005 at 06:43 PM
I'm glad, although I was rooting for New York. But London seems like such an incredible city, its a good thing
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by saralk on 07-06-2005 at 07:42 PM
the venue for Plus! Meet 2012?
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by mad_onion on 07-06-2005 at 08:02 PM
hm i personnaly dont have a lot of confidence we dont have a great reputation fo doing things on budget or on time. i just get the feeling we might not be finished on time lol now that would be funny!
but it will be great for transport, they are extending the tube south which is great for me and building some of those bullet trains although im sure they will be a lot slower, crash more often and be stopped by leaves on the track a lot more than the ones in japan are lol....
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by jren207 on 07-06-2005 at 10:49 PM
I'm quite happy it's gonna be in London 
I was watching the ITN news waiting to see who it was, and with what people were saying, I was expecting them to say Paris... but good job selecting London

RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by Tandy on 07-08-2005 at 07:13 AM
Sydney was so good they even copied the layout of the stadiums to be the same...no games will ever be as good as sydney, but hopefully london will do well.

not any more than can be expected for a capital city.
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by tomfletcherman on 07-08-2005 at 01:41 PM
Blah I don't want the olympics in london, everyone coming from abroad will crowd london and think about all the people living there. Also the olympics is about 2 weeks long + & boring and it covers all the good programmes on tv
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by RaceProUK on 07-08-2005 at 02:14 PM
Not all the events can take place in the capital anyway. For instance, London won't be the location of the watersports events - they're more likely to be at Holme Pierrepont in Nottinghamshire, many miles north of London up the M1.

I think it's fair for england to have the Olympics
well, I think I'm glad it's nowhere close to here! I hate having lots of people from loads of countries invading the place
Like the Grand Prix. 
I was at the amusement park right beside it and we left EXACTLY when it ended the subway was jammed with so many germans and such! 
(I don't really hate them.. I just don't like the feeling being with other people that talk dodgy languages and surround you everywhere 
) BUT ANYWAY! Whoever from England that is glad, then good for you! Just hope they don't make another Olympic Stadium like ours!(in Montreal)
(nah they won't blah!) our roof is leaking in winter because I believe it's some french dude who designed it but he was used to the temperatures back in France and he didn't think about the acumulation of snow we get during winter.. so there's water pooring inside the stadium 
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by rav0 on 07-09-2005 at 01:18 AM
Well at least all the tourists going to London will be spending lots of money buying things from you.
Of course you will charge them reasonable prices .
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by evm on 07-09-2005 at 01:20 AM
i wanted paris to win the 2012, cuz i don't think london will handle it and paris is a nicer city

Dont Get too over confident there... there has been lots of olympics in lots of cities and there will be many more olympics so i dont think Sydney Was the best and if it was I doubt it will stay that way

Good to see that london won
Too bad there were bombings But its good that the IOC stands by its descission to have the 2012 olympics there cause while london was a candidate its security was obviously thoroughly checked
RE: 2012 Olympics to be held in London by Rubber Stamp on 07-09-2005 at 08:21 AM
any chance of the olympics being in india? maybe in the next hundred years or so??

That's really stupid. The Olympic Games are something really nice. Millions of people gather to watch them and there should only be peace. It's really nice to see countries reunite for such events. People get jobs too.. Olympics are really something that I'm glad was evented, even though it used to be much different. Now it's only enjoyable for all. I hope London don't have any problems because it would suck big time

EDIT: just found out, it was the Munich games, terrorists shot Israel athletes.....
