About the smog comment; why do you think London has started charging people for entering the City with a vehicle? London 2012. They're trying to put on a pretty face, for the Olympics, to try and make up for the shitty weather. =) Come 2012, you'll start hearing people on the news saying, "Well, 2012 is definitely overshadowing China 2008 in terms of atmosphere." all because its in a country that is liked; at least mostly, anyway.

As for the Olympics, I don't actually really watch them, because I always seem to lose interest through all the commercials that go on, between each event. I don't know about other country's networks, but commercials are the bane of British Television. I might see if I can pay enough attention to the swimming and other water-related Olympic games.. and the Javelin. I wanna see if someone goes home looking like my Mule. XD

Well not you bum you out, but the congestion charge has been here before we knew we were hosting the Olympics and I can't comment for other countries but I've been hearing the opposite; that England won't have a chance at putting on a better opening ceremony, which I agree so I don't think people will start saying saying that England's is better in 2012 because people prefer it as a country, atmosphere around it maybe as there won't be so much political tension.

The beauty of politics is that everything happens for something that no one knows about. Why do you think the US have so many freaking conspiracy theories about their own government being in on the most tragic of accidents, or even the existence of beings from another world? Some of that conspiracy s**t has rubbed off on England, thanks to Bush. Only on a small scale, though.. for now.

I adore this man - not just because he won the gold medal and broke a world record - after he won and was being interviewed he said he was looking for his Mom. What a great guy.

Hoff's about to compete now --- but man, I really want to see Dara Torres compete.  

[tsukasa_the_quiet]

Wow, that wasn't even a fair race, they were smokin' from the start, Hoff did good though.  

[Goddess Ace]

She got the US a bronze and her team mate made fourth, not bad at all.

We're kicking some serious a** in the medal department.

I was wondering, why the swimmers seem to take some water from the pool into their mouth before they race.
