London Olympics 2012 - Is it just me or......

The news today is that it's only two years until we open the 2012 Olympic Games.




My initial reaction is to grab a cushion and cringe silently behind it in the way you would if you were watching elephants mating on the TV while your grandparents were in the room.

We just aren't very good at this kind of thing are we? We tell the world how great we are but then fizzle out like a damp squid when it matters most.

I sincerely hope I am wrong this time and we pull off one of the best games ever, but we are exceptionally good at shooting ourselves in the foot so I'm going to keep a cushion handy just incase.

  1. I heard on the news how they are hoping 100 people will volunteer to become stewards at the games. Hmm, a month directing people to toilets outside stadiums unpaid? Sounds great!The olympics are a complete waste of time and cash in my opinion, we should never have bid for it.
