Ditto. If today's explosion's are any indication, could be an interesting Olympics for security forces.
If it isn't broke, tweak it.

Excuse me but the death count so far is 34 I would prefer if you did not make jokes about it.

CNN goes back and forth. Earlier it was 40, now 33.

It certainly hits home when it happens half a mile from your front door.

But let's focus on the Olympics! :D

Being of English descent, I couldn't be happier by the choice of cities. The Olympics improved Athens in a way nothing else could. My train station is now beautiful, the train now goes all the way to the airport, and there are beautiful parks and stadiums for the young folke to play. I am sure London will benefit as well. Bravo!

I personally would not have cared if France had got it, I have absolutely no interest in sport of any sort, (well, maybe womens tennis is acceptable, only when Maria Sharapova is playing though).

My biggest concern is an even bigger increase in traffic which is bad enough in London as it is, and I hate sitting in traffic, cars are for driving in not just sitting in.

I think I might have a couple of weeks in France in 2012. :)
