Brown Pulls Plug on Olympics |

Just
a quickie.
The
Prime Minister has caused outrage by axing the 2012 London Olympics. He said
there are better ways of regenerating the area in East London, and announced
plans to develop a massive complex of bingo halls instead.
An
insider has revealed the order was made by text message when Gordon Brown found
himself inexplicably locked in the Blairs' lavatory. At the time he was visiting them for an evening of poker.
The 2012
Olympics will now take place in Afghanistan.

Got potential

Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3362 comments posted) 13th July 2007 | I'm sure he'd like to do it if he could, especially as Tony arranged it. Nice concept and I think you should take up Seagulls idea.--how about sychchronised stoning of adulterers, the female circumcision relay, and the poppy harvest marathon.

Enjoyed this. With the above, much potential for more. Liked Jane's suggestions.

Written by Livinginanattic (456 comments posted) 14th July 2007 | Thank you Seagull, Jane and Phil. This was a bit rushed because I wanted to post it quickly on the back of GB's decision to review the government's commitment to the super-casino.
I think rather than tinker with this piece I'll write another one on the Afghan Olympics. Those are terrific suggestions Jane and I'll have to incorporate them into the new piece.
Regards,
Ben

Written by Livinginanattic (456 comments posted) 15th July 2007 | Thanks Fleds. This wasn't really intended as a comment on London's aging population, but those bingo players do seem to be getting younger.
Cheers. | HI LIA

Although I did hear somewhere recently (Rory Bremner I rather suspect) that Gordon Brown is intending to have the terrorists bomb the places they have to bulldoze to build the Olympic housing, which I think might well have been the case. |
