And it was bloody brilliant!! Bring it on!

AMEN!! I, for one, am utterly delighted. Whether we actually enjoy
living here while it's happening is one thing - but I do think it will,
overall, be an excellent thing for London, and contribute enormously to
quality of life in that part of the capital after the event.

I'm also jubilant that London will host the Olympics. And I look
forward to enjoying the summer of 2012, getting involved in the
numerous events that'll happen and being a spectator at as many of the
events as I can.

The games will not make London crumble, they will make London stronger.
