The Olympic Stadium

dreamdaisy

I was sitting in the kitchen, noisily munching toast and slurping tea (the sex goddess rears her beautiful head once more!) when I heard something that made me inhale toast. I managed to hear further info whilst coughing and spluttering (I am too sexy for my own good sometimes.)

West Ham have expressed an interest in taking over the stadium once the world has waltzed off to the next big event in its history, but the club faces huge expenses, including £120 million odd to build a roof. Yup, build a roof. A partial roof is being constructed because, as it will be a SUMMER games, the designers feel that a full roof will not be required. A summer games in London. A brief pause to consider that . . . . . . . . .

They are constructing a partial roof, which presumably will be over the area where the big-wigs will be seated, but the hoi-palloi from around the world will have to be content with water running down their necks of their London 2012 cagoules (their own waterproofs being taken off them on entry so they HAVE to buy the £50 lurid nylon efforts, complete with Lisa Simpson on the loo branding should they wish to stay something resembling dry) whilst peering thro the murk and gloom of an average summer's day in London (well, if they don't need a roof they won't need floodlights will they - stands to reason, it's a summer games, wall-to-wall sunshine for 14 hours a day) trying to spot people running and jumping and throwing things. The athletes will, of course, all be clothed in all-black arrangements, as that will contrast well with the fog and mist surrounding them.

We all know what an English summer consists of: three baking hot days in May. The rest is murk, gloom, cold and lashing rain. Bill Bryson once described living in this country like 'spending 11 months of the year living in Tupperware' (or words to that effect). I'm off for my meth stabbing now. Rant over. DD

That was a rant and a half DD - (or should I say sex goddess)!

I suspect, me being the cynic I am, that it's all about cost saving because, like all these big builiding projects, planning, project management and costings are either wildly under-estimated in the first place or just badly implemented, leaving huge gaps in the funding. And don't even get me started on whether or not it's a good use of taxpayers money...

Love the Bill Bryson quote tho' - will remember that for future use.

Good luck with the meth stabbing - hope you don't have to wait too long today.
