    I'm so glad its not in France. I couldn't believe they were the frontrunners with their recent political stances (not just the US situation but they are like the black sheep of the EU, they disagree just for the sake of disagreeing).

    I'm an olympics junkee, so I'll probably make the trip across the pond. So maybe I'll see you in 7 years!!!

    I'll meet you there Steve-O.

    Given Chirac's recent comments regarding Britain, the result was all the sweeter.

    I saw those, lol.

    I have nothing against the French but as Eddie Izzard (english comedian) says "they can be... well... Fucking French sometimes."

    NYC was in the running, but giving the current political temperature of the planet, I didn't honestly think it would take place in NYC. I was thinking Madrid. I'm really surprised that it was London, I've heard the weather sucks there...
