..which may explain why they're not selling. I keep saying that the quicker everyone realises that this is just a private corporate bash, not intended for the
lumpenproletariat like us, the better it will be.
Same goes for the football tickets - I think we've had quite enough football for this year, with added (alleged) racist comments chucked in for free.

It begins at 9pm on Friday (27th) and is scheduled to end just after midnight.
Seems like a complete waste of taxpayers money to me.
At the risk of being branded a kill-joy, I would have just have had The Queen (Her Maj. not the band) walk up onto a dais, cut a ribbon and say:-
"I now declare the London 2012 Olympics open"
That would have saved millions.

well we might as well watch it go up in smoke as it been squandered in some far off land, or spent on their visitors, who only seem to buy one way tickets
