Old Rivals face off again..
It's now a choice between croissants and bangers & mash.
New York and Madrid have been knocked out in the IOC vote for which country will have the honour of accruing skyloads full of debt and useless infrastructure in 2012.
Official results should be announced in about half an hour. If you're looking for a midnight Olympic party, finding some accomodation in Paris would be a good idea as it is largely tipped to win. The area Paris has chosen to host the games is interesting... Saint Denis is a well known hive of prostitutes with its most notable landmark being a totally trashed McDonalds.
Another interesting part of this bid has been how well it has fitted in with the last few weeks of trans-channel rivalry. A few weeks ago we had the ruccus over the budget rebate and CAP. And only last week the British and French were commemorating the British victory at Waterloo, with the British complaining that they weren't allowed to blow French warships up for real!
