I'm so excited by the Lympics I can barely get out of bed in the morning. I'm especially excited by the fact that to get into the Lympic area you will have to pass through a huge shopping Mall (westfield) and the biggest eating establishment there is going to be that temple of good food and local London and UK cooking McDonalds.

Actually I think the Lympics should be forced on misbehaving countries. For instance you very bad Serbs. We shouldn't have bombed you just sentenced you to host the Lympics.
