Answer 1

well according to todays paper its going to be humiliating....beck's will be driven into the birds nest on an open top double decker bus and kick footballs into the crowd, hip hop dancers dressed in hoodys   will perform and the most cringing of all chris hoy the double gold medalists will cycle around the arena dressed in a pin strip suite and a bowler hat...... bet you cant wait for 2012

Answer 2

Probably a bunch of people looking at a building site if our ability to get jobs done on time is anything to go by :-)

Answer 3

Cliff Richard singing an apology that no building work has yet been started (in the rain).

I'm looking forward to the Official Estimate for works, followed by the tripling of cost (blamed on someone else, probably the Chinese), followed by a further tripling of the cost due to an under-estimation in the thickness of the ''under-desk'' handouts and kick backs (brown envelopes).

I'm also looking forward to celebrating the Knighthood of the person that had absolutely nothing to do with it but was given the golden trowel for the ''topping out'' of the only hurdle completed.

I'm also looking forward to the increase in taxation to pay for some faceless person to have got extremely rich out of it all.

Any chance of Maggie Thatcher being used as target practice in Archery?. I know that she will have to be wheeled out somewhere (as an honoured guest or a mummy).

Answer 4

I predict that they'll work David Beckham into it somehow.

Answer 5

the lord of dance
