Very quiet out here...<br /><br />I've seen a lot of MacDonalds and Coca Cola logos on the telly, missiles and security and plenty of apparently 'important' people getting their faces seen. <br /><br />What's going on Jono? Some sort of corporate fair? Economic Summit? How's the running coming on?Tim Allwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721253316151073487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-16637419950754814662012-07-24T17:48:10.557+01:002012-07-24T17:48:10.557+01:00Granted, no, so perhaps you are witnessing all man...Granted, no, so perhaps you are witnessing all manner of impending disasters that the rest of us aren't privy to. The start of the school holidays this week has resulted in a remarkably easy and comfortable commute on the Tube (Northern Line and District Line), so I'm more upbeat about how we'll cope with the influx of Olympic tourists later this week.Meropeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517158691476228097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-30519320587937888982012-07-24T17:39:38.239+01:002012-07-24T17:39:38.239+01:00Matt, do you live 1.7 miles from the Olympic Park?...Matt, do you live 1.7 miles from the Olympic Park?Jonathan Lethbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791327377479687655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-58466777984286621882012-07-24T11:18:29.716+01:002012-07-24T11:18:29.716+01:00I read at the weekend that the world's Press t...I read at the weekend that the world's Press thinks we Brits are a bunch of whingers, moaning constantly about the Olympics. I fear you are catching the habit. We've shelled out for them, so I've decided we should definitely try and enjoy them - and why do you think it'll be a disaster? We're quite good at putting on major events, aren't we?<br /><br />I managed to get tickets via the French ticketing agent and am looking forward to seeing what wildlife there is in the Park - though I fear it may consist of just a couple of coots and some feral pigeons. Mind you, the Lea Valley's pretty good for sky watching, isn't it, so that offers a good option whilst I'm stuck in an interminable queue to get past security.<br /><br />Matt EvansMeropeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517158691476228097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-35064876326665273262012-07-23T23:21:10.152+01:002012-07-23T23:21:10.152+01:00Come on Tim!Come on Tim!seppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01109126431048614816noreply@blogger.com
