Well the Olympics are over for another 4 years. It finished with, I must grudingly admit, a spectacular display from the Chinese, showing how good they are at syncronised dancing (even though I suspect it might have been at gunpoint. Those dancing girls who got in formation 1 second late are now lying in a ditch somewhere). The UK had it's time to showcase how great London is, which could have been described as medeocre at best. Dancers plucked straight out of a Mary Quant exhibition, a red double-decker with a hedge in it, Peter Gabriel and Leona Lewis (hey, at least it wasn't Amy Winehouse and Mick Jagger), a small Asian child hand-picked by the learned people at Blue Peter and to top it all off, David Beckham kicked a football! Wow! Too bad he missed the crowd and brained a nearby security guard.
Now we have the prospect of hearing about nothing else but the 2012 London Olympics for 4 years. Maybe if I'm anywhere near London in 4 years time I might try and perloin a ticket, just so I can say I've been to it. It's got to be better sitting in a stadium yelling advice at the best athletes in the world, rather than sitting on the sofa with pringles encrusting your face doing the same.
One question comes to mind; when London does start preparing for the 2012 games, will they go the same way as the Chinese and attempt to "socially educate" the chavs?
