Of course, President Chirac whining about the English and the Finns probably did in the Paris bid. 
I can almost put up money at a Ladbrokes betting parlour in London that the Finnish and Estonian votes were crucial in London winning the bid.

Per BBC(Not posted yet... ) London wins 2012 Olympics bid!!!
"Any plans for India to run for Olympic candidate in the future?"
---Nah dont think so.
BTW any chance them Po Faced Poms might introduce Cricket in Olympics?
This choice works for me.
Very cool.....and very funny!
Bernie was great...
Agreed!
"BTW any chance them Po Faced Poms might introduce Cricket in Olympics?"
Nope they will introduce kabaddi instead!!!!
Yea plus Hitlery was over there and I am glad she will not be able to take credit dor it.
I believe the French are waking up to Chirac's incompetence...outright hostility to him is definitely more in the open. One thing I've noticed is that there are more French people living in Britain than ever before...mostly because they can actually find jobs here, unlike in their own country.

even though it would have been nice, it makes my day that hillary beast will not get the credit. I think I would have been sick until 2012 to see and hear how it was her and bill's being loved and admired around the world that n.y was chosen LOL
I agree. He's been getting back in spades. It's wonderful.
I was against us winning the Olympics on the basis of cost, until Chirac threw his personal prestige into Paris' bid. I will gladly pay higher taxes to see his political power reduced to ashes, as this has.

I just liked it that the British held their celebration in Trafalgar Square. ;)
Now instead of the summer games, the Frenchies will have to be satisfied with taking their usual extended vacations and leaving their elders at home to die in the heat.
Of course. Agincourt, Trafalgar, and now Singapore. ;)

Here's hoping London makes a profit like those US cities have in tha past.
And I am SO happy! Pay back is hell, and this is what BloomingIdiot gets! He is ruining that wonderful city!
Well, I thought of them, too....and they're nice folks and put on a great show in Sydney.....but....but....they'll drink all the beer!!
There isn't enough beer in Europe to slake the Australians and the Canadians!
We won't get any! We'll have to drink....<shudder>....champagne! ;)
There's a chance. I believe Lord Coe knows what he's doing. If Red Ken can be bound and gagged and left in a basement somewhere, we'll be all right.
