Paris had a better project, and it's a more beautifull city. Paris, I love you. Title: Re: that's a shame!

I dunno how the fuck London managed it. BRIBED! Title: Re: that's a shame! (olympic games - London) Post by: MadmanDan on July 06, 2005, 08:35:45 AM A Frenchman and an Irishman dissing England...what a surprise !!
Title: Re: that's a shame! (olympic games - London) Post by: Chris Misfit on July 06, 2005, 08:43:47 AM Paris v London. I know which one I would choose.
But then, of course, London is much more cultural, and by far a friendlier place to be. Will we expect the usual racist attacks, and drunken riots then? What will happen if an english man/woman doesn't win gold? No Swiss referees to bombard with death threats. Just pick on a minority? Title: Re: that's a shame!

I love England. And I love London. And we got it simply because our project was better. And we're far more patriotic, as a country. By a long, long way. There are cunts in every country. From New Yorks gangsters to the snooty Paris pricks, so what? Accept it. London ain't great, but I've got British blood. Title: Re: that's a shame!

I don't see any link between beeing more patriotic (wich is true) and having the olympic games. Title: Re: that's a shame!

should give 2 fingers up to Chirac the bastard, slagging off british cuisine, as if french food is any better, and fuckin slimy thing like frogs n snails they eat, and they eat whole finches in 1 mouthful. Lets see Chris if it had gone to Paris you would have seen ponsy frenchmen with onions round their necks wearing berets n stripey tops smelling of garlic watching the games or in ireland you would have seen a bunch of freckled ginger piss heads drinkin fuckin guiness humpin leprechauns watchin it. i think u'll find ireland has a worse tradition on pickin on minorities Title: Re: that's a shame!

Title: Re: that's a shame! (olympic games - London) Post by: Axls Locomotive on July 06, 2005, 01:51:25 PM as much as i cant stand london, im glad that paris never won...judging by their presentations, looks like paris was concentrating on how great their city was while london was more about success and inspiration...and london got it right
but its funny how people are now looking at it as England and not Britain...events will be taking place all over Britain and I know some Scots politicians were lobbying for London...therefore its a British success Title: Re: that's a shame!

God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen; Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. Oh Lord our God arise, Scatter our enemies, And make them fall Confound their politics Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix Oh save us all. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen. Our loved Dominion bless With peace and happiness From shore to shore; And let our Empire be United, loyal, free, True to herself and Thee For ever more. Title: Re: that's a shame!

Title: Re: that's a shame! (olympic games - London) Post by: GnRNightrain on July 06, 2005, 07:43:10 PM Congrats to London. I was just happy New York didnt get it. As much as I love the US getting the Olympics, it would have been unfair for us to get it.
Title: Re: that's a shame! (olympic games - London) Post by: Jim on July 06, 2005, 10:02:43 PM And, suddenly English girls being unfuckable is the topic of conversation?
Not suprising, given that that is comming from two of the biggest pricks on this board. It's a stereotype. Get over it. You were ill for a week? So what. Pay to eat in better places; not the guy selling hot dogs in Hyde park. This deserves to be moved or locked, but I won't if you any of you actually start discussing real reasons that London did or didn't deserve it. Under normal circumstances, I'd tell ol' axl_700 to calm down, but he's giving as much as we've got. So either stop being twats, or this will be locked. Title: Re: that's a shame!

(olympic games - London) Post by: pilferk on July 07, 2005, 09:41:12 AM It sounds like London got the games because their project include significant "revitalization". That's something the Olympic comittee has really been harping on, of late: Not just throwing huge sums of cash at building state of the art facilities that will lay dormant after the games, but having cities acutally clean up urban blight and invest in their city's renewal as part of the process. London, from the proposals I've seen, did that much better than Paris. Paris' overall proposal was flashier, prettier, and more expansive, but didn't seem to incorporate much of the revitalization aspect....
In summary, it seems Paris put together a proposal much more in line with the way the IOC USED to look at things, while London's proposal was much more in line with how the IOC has been looking at things lately.

They wern't updated, perhaps? If not, they were the only ones. The IOC had made repeated public statements to that effect and it's been all over the press. It was one reason why NYC was anything more than a VERY long shot...because they were proposing a massive urban renewal and cleanup project as part of preparation. London is proposing something very similar. Paris was not, for whatever reason. Title: Re: that's a shame!
