London 2012 OLYMPICS

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Nope. No coincidence. You are the chosen one. Did you get the memo?

Really looking forward to the Olympics 8)

Football shouldn't be in it though - Personally, I believe that if winning Olympic gold is way down a sports priority list (as it definitely is with football) then they should step aside and give all the attention and glory to athletes who have been dreaming and preparing for this moment their entire lives. It's just the decent thing to do.

Then I shall pray that our brave, posh and wealthy sailing men and women get the only thing in life they haven't got - the love of an entire nation.

8) :wink:

The security situation for the games would be laughable, if it wasn't so worrying.

Private security company G4S has cocked up so badly that British troops are suddenly having to cover their recruitment shortfall. Imagine how you would feel if you just got leave from Afghanistan, foreign holiday booked, family and friends to meet, only to be told your leave is cancelled. Your country needs you. A private company fucked up. Sorry and all that. :evil:

Also, with only two weeks to go, G4S is training students to be security officers. These youngsters are supposed to be old enough, wise enough, and responsible enough to do the same job as the highly trained people you see at airports. Pffff! They are being trained in a classroom environment. Some of them are listening to music on headphones, playing with their mobile phones, and even falling asleep! One of the students captured all this on video. On his or her mobile phone!

If that wasn't bad enough, there are also reports from security managers that they still haven't received any instructions from G4S about their duties. They don't know what they will be doing. Or where. Or when.

You can be sure that any wanabee terrorists are fully aware of these scandalous security shortfalls.

The icing on the cake is that Locog (the games' organising company) has awarded G4S an extra £60million for all their good work. :cussing:

I would imagine that everything is outsourced. McDonalds do catering. Ticketmaster(?) do ticketing. Other companies would do retail outlets, advertising, etc.

It's all about money.

yeah, but with some things you don't want to fuck about. In Brazil everything but security was already outsourced as well,for both olympics and WC, but when it comes to the well being of the athletes and reputation of the country, they should just leave in competent hands.
