Fair dinkum, we'll never hear the end of it from the poms now. London's won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics!

Well there you go!

I thought Paris was odds on favourite...?

Yeah, not totally sure, but I think they were as short as $1.30 or something like that.

It would of been good to see Paris get it....i guess they didn't pay enough...lol

Now the poms are going to be even more unbearable than normal. Can you imagine if they win the ashes!!!

The look on Clive Rowlands boat race is classic and after saturday the satisfaction will be even better.

All those pongos blew it for the Lions, they should have left it to the Welsh and Irish.This is the worst Lions ever, no challange at all.

Feel real sorry for their touring fans as they are great folk.

Paris was between $1.15 and $1.20 while London was around $7.00. Shows again the foolishness of betting on short-priced favs. Nothing and no-one deserves odds that short EVER.

I'm with ya' all the way Kiwi

Was looking forward to All Blacks v Lions tour, thought it would be a rip-snorta.
Ah well - bring on the tri-nations
