London 2012 Olympics

What's WB mean in Heptathlon? Is it the best ever leg of that particular event as opposed to the individual event?

The Stratford Westfield?

They're closing it during the Olympics?!?

Closed to all but ticket holders and olympic staff / volunteers.

too many people ! ffs

and the visitors looking for some retail therapy

WB - World Best?
Best time in the world this season I think

oh noes
my shopping heaven, the mecca to which i flock every saturday to bathe in the glories of the spendaholic .. the westfield shopping centre IS CLOSED TODAY AND TOMRROW

wtf .. where do i sate my addiction to the credit card

HELP PLEASE

Don't worry! I'm going and will buy you some fashionable carrot trousers while I'm there.

HTH.

I think it's better than that. BBC said something like fastest ever heptathlon hurdles so kinda what I thought.

Quick question, have just been offered some tickets for the Beach Volleyball, and the seller, says the travelcards were £10 extra to the ticket price.. Is that correct... can't seem to get any pricing info from the London 2012 site.....

Not with mine. Travelcards were included.

Travelcard free with tickets.

Another rowing gold medal - Grainger and Watkins in W2x. Kath Grainger must be the happiest camper at Dorney.

Is that lunch bill genuine? I assume not, but has it been verified anywhere as a fake - it's been posted on a few websites but I can't find any story about anyone checking if it's real or not

And the Argentines, too. But that's rarely a proper contest.

John Krenicki, one of the most senior executives at the worlds biggest industrial company General Electric, is to be paid $89,000 ($57,300) a month for doing nothing.

Mr Krenicki, 50, is leaving GE after the US company announced the energy division he controls is being broken into three new businesses.
His monthly allowance runs to 2022 and is worth more than $10.5m in total.
GE has awarded the package to Mr Krenicki in return for him signing a three-year non-competition clause.
He will also receive a supplementary pension allowance when he reaches 60 that could double the size of his $18m pension pot, as well as a cash bonus of at least $2.5m for his work at GE this year, and the vesting of share options and long-term performance awards worth $14m.
Industry analysts believe the package is worth more than $28m in total.

Sweet deal dude

Ah the stale whiff of jingoism.

One suspects that he knows where a significant number of bodies are buried.

Stale?
