But, looking at the po faced aerosols who are running the London games, they're beyond satire, especially when they try to convince the rest of us that sucking all the lotto money into London is good for us because what benefits London benefits us all. <br /><br />The best laughter will come when they actually start and the commentators give us their all. Classics like 'Juantarina of Cuba opens his legs and shows what he's got' or in a swiming heat, 'she's responding to the water the water's responding to her'.
