What's it gorra do with Southwark? Eh?

Well, it seems that...

Quote
Each London borough is holding a flag-raising ceremony and there will be street parties, processions and festivals-The banners will go up at about 3pm on Sunday as Mayor Boris Johnson is handed the Olympic flag by Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Games.

It is expected that he will be watched by some 1.6 billion people worldwide as, joined by David Beckham, Leona Lewis and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, he rides into the Bird's Nest stadium in a double-decker London bus.

This is going to be a bizarre spectacle  eeek: I hope it's the beloved Routemaster and not a bendybus!

Quote
London 2012 Organising Committee chairman Sebastian Coe said: "When the Mayor accepts the Olympic flag on 24 August, the eyes of the world will turn to London and the UK.

"It is a very exciting moment for us, and we want as many people as possible to join in the celebrations. We are delighted that so many local authorities share our excitement and are proudly displaying the handover flag to mark this very special moment on our journey to 2012."

Boris, with an audience of billions. What could possibly go wrong?  noooo:

Talking of p*ssing on Frites  evil:   Those judges at the Taekwondo need taking out and giving a good slapping boxing

Still our girl (how we get possessive at times like these, eh?) got the bronze but she was mentally and emotionally ill prepared  angry041:
