  • Remember the Athens Olympics? The UK press had a fucking field day predicting all sorts of gloom, because none of the venues would be ready on time. At least that isn't an issue here.

    And remember the Beijing Olympics (air pollution scare) and the Dehli Commonwealth Games (athlete accommodation not ready/up to standard)?

    Let's face it, our press loves to complain about problems - real and imaginary. My bet is on the prospect of tube strikes featuring on the front pages next spring. And for all the negative stuff I've read about the ticket ballot process in the last few weeks, I can't remember seeing anywhere a suggestion of a better way to have done it.
