New York City could have really used the Olympics this time.

Tony G 07-06-2005 12:32 PM

The fact that the Olympics have been in the US so often over the last few decades, they didn't deserve it again at all.

Seriously though - Do you realise how much hosting the games is going to cost us? BILLIONS of pounds of money that could be better spent on our roads, hospitals or schools...

the money means global regeneration for london, yes it costs but the bulk goes into providing facilities that will be long used after the olympics, for me it's a fantastic thing and the regeneration will be worth the celebrations seen at trafalgar square alone.

But that is exactly the kinds of things that money will be spent on. Take my word for it. I live in Atlanta, I saw it first hand. The whole place goes nuts with improvements trying to make everything better (not just stadiums and whatnot) before the mass influx of tourist come in. Roads will get fixed, don't worry.

This is the UK - Roads have needed to be fixed for the last 15 or more years - So far about 5% of the roads have been re-surfaced, the rest are like minature obstacle courses in some places, and are left to become run-down and potholes are allowed to develop...

Bullets, apple pips, ball bearings... Whatever :p As long as its fun and causes pain I'll do it ;)

But you are right - I need not do it, I just want to for the hell of it :D

Yes the sports facilities will be used for countless sports, all worshiped by the mindless masses... How much better we will be for promoting and encouraging the lager lout to go to a more upmarket piss-up...

Within 5 years after the Olympics the state of these "new facilities" will be on par with council flats or sub-urban slums that exist already, with grafiti, and countless areas suffering from drug-related littering i.e. needles...

All this will accomplish is something new for the average idiot British citizen to trash :(

I never claimed to - However I do visit regularly, and I see areas in London that resemble the area near where I live...
