I recognise two of them from my last visit to Amsterdam. If only the other one would turn round I might recognise her too.

The Dutch national womens beach volleyball squad regularly train at an artificial beach just 5kms from my house.

I couldn't find a view from the front, which says something about photographers;

It's the same clock software they are going to use to time races and they are expecting lots of records to be broken.

Typical! What do the swiss know about making clocks?

Or wheels of cheese.

"The clock in central London which has been counting down to the 2012 Olympics has stopped, less than 24 hours after it started counting down"

As for them being cancelled. If only. The missus will be watching them on TV, morning noon and night and I will probably be blackmailed into actually going. I have managed to avoid attending any sports event since I saw Crystal Palace play Derby in 1963 and I still have nightmares about it.

it is silly.

Right now, on my desk there's a bottle of Schweppes' Abbey Well, "official water" of London 2012. See, I hope you've not been drinking that unofficial bootleg water that comes out of taps and the sky.

Ticketing isn't going well either:
Visa glitch hits race for London 2012 Olympics tickets - CNN.com

How is it even allowed to have single payment provider, ffs - in some foreign countries nobody got Visa because MasterCard so strong.

[Spacecadet]

WTF ???

What kind of setup is that?

Visa are the official sponsers
