London 2012

[red.neon]

Do you think London 2012 will be 'As good' As Beijing 2008? China spent £24 billion on their games...

But I have every hope in our country to make London 2012 special

What are YOUR thoughts?!

[GommeInc]

My immediate thoughts are no. I can't imagine what 2012 would be like though, because with all this P.C. stuff I question would they show Great Britains / Englands heritage and history, or will they just try and make it neutral and boring.

Well I've been looking up on the London 2012 games, and I think that the 'Olympic Village' Is going to look amazing, our Olympic Stadium deign is really awesome and so is the Aquatic Centre.

And 1 thing I did notice from Beijing that there wasn't much atmosphere - there was a lot of empty seats during events etc.. etc..

Oh yea and I LOVE the London 2012 Logo Wouldn't have payed £400,000 for it - I'd of drew it for a couple of qid! haha

Say what you like about the current state of our country/economy.society but british people always know how to make the most out of something, especially when its infront of the rest of the world.
I think London 2012 will be amazing and Ill definitely be there for it, who all will be attending?

I think the London 2012 Olympics will be amazing and I'm hoping that I'll be able to go. However, the traffic is going to be just mental! As the Olympics are on around the start of the Premiership I think they'll hold the start of the Premiership back a little until the Olympics is finished due to the amount of traffic there will be around London.

I like your attitude towards things!

I will be there for it, I wouldn't miss something like this - It will be a LONG time till our country sees anything special like this again.

And I agree, us English know how to put on a good show. I have high expectations for London 2012!

Well people just judged the opening ceremonies and stadiums in Beijing and assumed that it was the best games ever. However in china there is no lasting legacy and the use of the stadiums is questionable.

This is a very good link, it says where London can build upon Beijing and improve where they went wrong.

I do think having amazing Stadiums and Opening/Closing Ceremonies are very important, its a good chance to show the world what your country is all about.

And thats a very good link, thank you!

I think we could use the Queen in our opening show haha

London are trying to leave a lasting impact upon the whole city and get everyone involved, as opposed to Beijing where the only thing olympic was where the stadium was.

Not just the english mate all the four nations will be doing their bit. Thats why its TEAM Great Britain But yeah it will be in another lifetime that we will see this I suspect so I hope everyone makes the most out of it.

Dont like to throw this in but I do hope the security and police are up to scratch, this is a diamond for terrorists targeting our nation.
