Talking London gets the Olympics!
Wow!!!!!

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)

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

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

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!

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...

Exclamation Lol
MFM, perhaps they are ticked that London won because that means more foreigners and tourists coming to crowd the subway/taxis, shops, etc.

Exclamation Bwah!
Beware of the Crazy Texans.

I'm hoping my mom can come with me for my birthday, but she's more scared of airplanes than I am. She has claustrophobia.
