Ugly Clocks and Overpaid Jocks

...Really?

What has been seen...

The countdown has begun! In a mere 499 days from this posting, the 2012 Olympic Games will be underway. How can I be so accurate I hear you ask. Well yesterday the Countdown Clock was unveiled in Trafalgar Square, and… In this humble blogger’s opinion, the word ‘eyesore’ can be a touch overused, but in my opinion just go nuts with it. Why do all our symbols for the 2012 games look so terrible. I wasn’t too bothered about the official logo until it was pointed out to me (those of an easily offended disposition best look away) that it looks like Lisa Simpson giving head…

Moving on swiftly. Tickets for the games are now on sale with a range of prices for all the family starting at about £20 (I believe certain concessions cost less) up to £2012 (who believes in coincidences?). Of course some of the cheap ones will probably end up in the sand. No not the long jump area, the places where the building haven’t been built yet and there’s still blokes in their high-vis jackets chucking cement into a mixer and whistling at all the female athletes. Though probably not the weightlifters…

Let’s hope that the half a billion pounds expected to be generated by the games can pay off some of this debt the world seems to be in, of course, £500m is barely the tip of the iceberg. As I’ve said before, why not just get the 10 most highly paid footballers to just give away a couple of weeks worth of their salary every other month. World debt, not to mention starvation and poverty, would be abolished within about 4 months. Overpaid sods. we could have slogans and everything:

“Worldwide Recession? Blame Wayne!”

Is it obvious I prefer rugby?
