No, no, no. This is about acknowledging that Britain is superior.

"Britain"?

I thought this was about the only civilized part of your forsaken country (i.e. London).

Obviously, the Welsh and Scots have been pillaged beyond repair by the English, and couldn't host such extravaganza anymore. As to the northern Rosbifs... I doubt they are superior to apes, so comparing them to Paris is fairly amusing

Chirac was bribed by the British to spoil Paris' chances.

Congrats, btw

Brilliant! Now we get seven years of moaning about it!

And even longer for us Londoners to pay for it!

You seem a little bitter, Spiffor.

I wouldn't have cared one notch if the rival city would have been from any other place than England.

However, this is one more opportunity to have some mutual bashing across the channel, and it is a sport I enjoy immensely

It was surprising that London won. Paris was the odds on favorite to win. Could it be that Jacques Chirac's British Jokes/insults helped swing the final vote to London

I think it more that the committee closed their eyes and visulized the opening cerimonies with Jacques playing a prominent role.

And that usually takes a lot of effort, right?

Well, with the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar occurring recently, I declare July 2005 to be "La, la, let's bum the French" month.

I think the IOC chose London because it is the best place to eat in the world.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the G8 dinner.

A handsome serving of Aberdeen Angus Humble Pie for M Chirac, s'il vous plait.

Apparently London was in front in every round of voting except the second round when Madrid was in front.

Perfidious Albion has succesfully conned the world into organizing horrendous Olympics, despite Paris' vastly superior project. Gonna admire your deception skills
