London gets the Olympics!
 

Wow!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Fantastic news! I thought Paris was bound to win.

Sorry New York, sorry Moscow, sorry Madrid and sorry Paris (but not sorry Jacques Chirac - hope you enjoy your British food tonight)

:laugh: The Ledge as news service, you'll hear it here first...
Congrats to all the Brits! :woohoo:

and maybe a good excuse for me to visit London again, as if I need one.

Yay!! I didn't think we would get it! Anyone fancy coming over for it? We're only 60 miles north of London! ;)

Pip

And - you know I am SOOOOOO going - plan on hooking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless of course LB's tour is that year :laugh:

That is fantastic...so much for the NY 2012 banners and crap that are everywhere :rolleyes:

It's a date! :)

I doubt if his album will be finished by then!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Gail

Yep, we were all cheering in the office when this was announced.
It's GREAT news! :thumbsup:

Big fat WORD!!
 

This is seven years away?

I'll be 30 in 7 years. :cool:


Congrats Brits!

I was in London today and hadn't heard the news!!

I wondered why Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road tube stations were so busy on a Wednesday lunchtime!! It was manic! :lol:

I walked into McDonalds in Leicester Square and it was on the plasma screen TV "Breaking News" on Sky News.. The most bizzarre thing was, about 1/2 mile away, Trafalgar Square was packed with people celebrating and here I was and nobody was remotely bothered!! I looked around and nobody seemed to be reacting..

Quite odd... :nod: :lol:

Lol
 

Yeah must of hit them that some crazy Texans might come over huh? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Bwah!
 

I wouldnt want the olympics anywhere near me! But if this news makes the people pf London happy then great for them :nod:

You know what else is a bizarre one? Shut up. I mean, Shut your mouth is obvious, but what is "up" ?
Very mysterious.

I think it is derived from the action of the mandible closing by moving upward and thus the talking - or writing in the intransitive sense - will cease. But, as long as the desired effect is achieved - that one indeeds shuts the fu*k up - who cares :cool:

I'm glad you see my point. ;)

You learn something everyday on here don't you? :]

I'm sure our collective minds contain all kinds of wonderful yet totally useless information...

Ahh, Amber... "Invisible" Amber... :lol: I wondered where you where hiding.. I thought I was catching you up post wise.. I'm only about 13,500 posts behind you now!!!! :blob1:

Well, I didn't really post all weekend. :D

I'm on a post spurt right now....

I tend to fire off a lot in a short space of time and then nothing for quite a while...

:laugh: :laugh:

p.s. I just re-read that and I think it came out a bit wrong.... :eek: :laugh:

It was your birthday :cool:

Did you break a sweat :laugh: :wavey:

Yes I wasn't around to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :blob2: :woohoo: :blob1:

So there it is...... :thumbsup:

I had a BLAST when they were here in Atlanta in '96 and I was in Athens last year. I like stuff like that though :cool:

No Comment.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I do have a habit of putting words in rather a dubious order... Such an order that they tend to sound just wrong...... :shrug: :D

You mean you weren't talking about coming on The Ledge?

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Speaking of my weekend.....

I know, and 4th of July weekend. What's yer point? :) It's weird, when I go on vacation, I'm incredibly busy. I guess because I always go on a "barbecue and party" holiday. Anyways.

I'm not quite sure now :confused: .. I thought I was coming on The Ledge but I tend to come and go in a lot of places these days.. You were saying about your birthday weekend Amber? ;) :lol:

Anyway, I'm not coming now, I'm going.... 'night dudes.... :wavey:

You're coming over in May?! We must meet up!
