Anyway ~ to get back on topic Woodstock received an "all points bulletin" asking staff to tell students which roads would be closed around the college to allow for the "Relay" to take place. Some of the poor buggers had exams that day and had to plan arrivals and departures around the road closures. A few ended up being stuck in college for over 8 hours to sit a 3 hour examination.  No rhyme nor reason to close off the roads for 5 hours for a one hour procession  noooo:

Heard about this on the news earlier. Perhaps I'm being daft here but surely when you are putting a team together for the Olympics you use the best athletes available so why ignore the world ranked no1 for someone 50 places below him?  rubschin:

As I understand it, he's not been selected because he built his own gym and trains there and not in an affiliated gym. If that's the case, it's a disgrace. It seems that some of these sporting bodies are power crazy  noooo:

Dear Mr P,

I am writing to let you know that the leadership of UNITE union has called for industrial action by bus drivers and engineers. If this goes ahead, it is likely to cause some disruption across the bus network on Friday 22 June and early Saturday 23 June. Night bus services are expected to run as normal tonight (Thursday night / early Friday morning).

I went past the site yesterday . To be honest the stadiums all look very impressive but the surrounding areas look total and utter shite. It is like a marquee infested slum  noooo:

Apparently VIP areas is not significant enough either. They have VVIP for those very very important people  ::)

And the gorgeous looking McDonalds in the middle of it all - pure class  noooo:
