What are you assuming are my assumptions then?

And I note you haven't been able to give a total to all these jobs you assume have been created.

Merely pointing out your lack of knowledge, nothing else.

Great stuff, while i and the other millions around the world enjoy the occassion, you can climb under a rock muttering miserable ramblings, now which would i prefer to be?!

Both sentences I quoted are assumptions on your part. Unless you actually know what I am and am not aware of, which you don't.

Another assumption.

Why is it people like you have to get offensive to those on the other side of the debate? It doesn't support your opinions by doing this you know.

I wish you well with your 4 week enjoyment of the occassion. Will that be at your employers expense or are you taking the whole 4 weeks off on annual leave?

People like you?? You know nothing about me. I dont mind at all people with contrasting opinions, when theyre balaced with some positive appreciation of the occassion. But dismissing people as gulible, and belittling comments are not constuctive at all. Ive already said earlier that i can inderstand people having some concerns with the budget.

Hypocrite.

You have used derogatory terms and condescending language towards posters who disagree with you.

Not so.

And if you are aware of the need for extra air taffic capacity in London and the economic benefits that will bring then why pretend otherwise.

So.

So you now have some doubts as to whether I am aware or not. Were you earlier comments then, not assumptions?

I know that you chose to use a put down first.

Nope, thats not what I said, try again though.

"Took" being the operative word, I think remuneration has to be exchanged before you can say "purchased" doesn't it ?

Name caller

I may well respond with interest but I try not to be the first to descend that path.

Personally, I think I overpaid.

Hang onto it, prices are about to go into the stratosphere for my work.*

I am more than happy to call names. I am more than happy to post in a condescending manner to those who disagree with me. I am more than happy to belittle many of the feklkwitts who "contribute" to this forum.

I'm a big boy though and what I won't do is be a hypocrite if someone responds in like fashion.

As you have done above.

I note you don't deny the charges of hypocrisy and that is to your credit because your hypocrisy is plain for all to see and I just felt you needed calling on it.

I am not really interested in you awareness or lack of. My comments on the economic benefits of alternative projects to the Olympic games are not based on assumptions

Good god, you're not about to croak are you?

Mind, that would explain your miserable old git attitude.

If you are uncomfortable with acknowledging the potential for a huge spike in obesity and unhealthy eating among schoolkids as the Olympic Games exclusively extol the virtues of McDonalds, you could always quote a reliable source like erm... Professor Paul Gately, Carnegie professor of exercise and obesity at Leeds Metropolitan University, who said: [i"When you look at the significant engagement and reach McDonald's has, that provides a really great platform. It also really understands customers and how to talk to them. By providing them with the right information, McDonald's is capable of switching kids on to physical activity and exercise, much more than what we've seen in previous public health campaigns. It can really contribute to the legacy objectives of 2012."[/i

Professor Paul Gately also happens to be a member of McDonald's "global advisory council"



There's more chance of hundreds of thousands of school children pigging out on extra burgers, fries, milkshakes and happy meals than actively engaging in a national physical activity program of school games.

Ten Billion quid for ONE BIG HAPPY MEAL, eh?

............Mummy............

I see.

What are they based upon? Do you have anything to substantiate that these "alternative projects" have been scuppered as a direct result of winning the olympic bid?

Like I said I may sometimes repay with interest but do try not to be the first to descend to the personal insult...unlike you.

Last night I played tag rugby for two hours then got a McChicken Sandwich meal on the way home. Had to suffice with large as they don't super size them any more



McDonald's don't sponsor Rawdon Rhinos.

Like I said, you've been hypocritical in your condemnation of Seth. Therefore, you're a hypocrite.

And an assumer.

Economics. I will continue this later as because although semi retired I do have some work to do ... unlike...

Whilst waiting for the Gareth person to update us on numbers re the permanent jobs thingy, I managed to contain my excitement by having a quick look at past Olympics.

Did you know that in the 1904 Olympics, provision was made for those deemed as primitives, ie Pygmies and Patagonians, to compete in their own special section? They could achieve sporting excellence in such events as mud fighting, greased-pole climbing, rock throwing, and spear throwing!

Howzabout a Gold Medal in Painting? Step forward Jean Jacoby of Luxemburg, a double Gold winner in 1924 and 1928 with his drawing of two rugby players entitled...."Rugby"

Sadly 1932 was the only appearance of Sled dog Racing

I hope the anticipated millions are not disappointed, as 2012 has a lot to live up to......
