Stop whining

[BrilloPad]

Maybe I'm being unfair, but Coe strikes me as a smug, smarmy, weasely bloke.

This is unfair. You are being too nice.

[BrilloPad]

Now there's an idea for the kid's school holidays - a trip to the Olympic missile sites

Why not? Its free. Though you have to consider parking - at Oxleas meadow it is easy to park.

The armed mod policeman was really nice. 42 years service. Their unit based at Fort Halstead where I used to work.

He'd put me off going to watch. If I had any intention of doing so in the first place that is.

I got free ticket for myself and a guest, how much fairer do you want it to be?

Keep an eye out for this man :

Fairer - as in you getting one ...

The way they were sold was a complete shambles.

(And yes I've got some. I also can see some events free if I can be bothered.)

Apparently they felt it was making them a "target", hmmmmm, not sure if al-qaeda's prime target is going to be a high rise block full of chav scum in the east end.

I'm sure the no-win, no-fee solicitors are having a field day on this.

They'd be targetting the missiles... the tower block would be collateral damage

I found it really amusing to hear about local residents trying to get those sites removed by taking legal action

Did something like this happen during Battle of Britain I wonder?

If the ticket sales had been fairer I would get behind it.

Though I enjoyed our visit to HMS Ocean. And the visit to the missiles at Oxleas meadow.

This is going too far:

Says Coe, the runner guy. He also says the Games will be safe and secure, so that's all right then.

He urged people to "cut out the whining", and to "get behind our team and the Games".
BBC News - London 2012: Coe promises 'safe and secure Games'

I've already done my bit and have voted for the Olympians that I would most like to get behind.

In other news Roger Bannister is still alive I wonder if he will light the cauldron. No woman has yet run a sub four minute mile, not even ones with husky voices. Steve Redgrave would also be acceptable.
