Dirty and eck?? You must've gone to the wrong parts!  Seriously, London's East End has always been its poorest part (and where Jack the Ripper used to hang out). The Olympic village will see the area completely revitalised with new transport links. Should be good for the local population |

I MISSED BLACK BOOKS!!! ARRGGHHHH!!!!! I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING I WAS SPOSED TO WATCH ON WEDNESDAY!!!
Anyway - YAY! for england! 2012, I'll be 23 so my cousin will be 25 / 26 ish, HE COULD SWIM THERE!! (Just as he possibly could be swimming for England at the Commonwealth games! Yay!)
Anyway, I'm bored. And tired. Mostly tired. If this doesn't make sense blame work experience.

personally i dont think either london or paris deserved it because of thier silly childish attitudes and name calling and yes there is a french word for victory its victoire.

Frankly Lix I think if they weren't being childish and calling each other names some of the fun of being English and French would be gone. Like Aussie and New Zealand. It would take away from the win if they weren't dancin around yelling 'we beat the frogs'. It would be very unEnglish So Dark One? I take it we're all coming to visit you in 2012? London Meet!! Yeah! |
