SLACKERJACK – Don’t Be Sad When London Loses The 2012 Olympics
A prediction: London will lose the bid to host the 2012 Olympics. Paris will win.
Why are we so certain? Well, we’re British. Disappointment runs in our veins. Everything we try and succeed at turns into dog mess in our hands. This is partly true on an individual basis, but when we all pull together and try hard, we can make a truly monumental cock-up of things. And it’ll be like this for the Olympics.
Don’t just take our word for it. Betfair.com have the following odds for the different bidding cities…
Moscow – 74/1
New York – 54/1
Madrid – 19/1
London – 3/1
Paris – 3/7
Obviously, if you feel differently to us, you may as well get over to Betfair now and make some money out of it. Then when London wins, you can drive past us in your Lamborghini and laugh as we try to lick condensation off bin lids for survival.
If London wins or loses, it doesn’t really matter. We’ve found the perfect alternative – the Crash Test Dummy Olympics. Drive your car as fast as you can into a wall and see how high your dummy flies in the air. Fun, in a slightly wrong way.
