BTW, "deception" means "disappointment" in French. I think it is a very appropriate word for the London Olympics

No, no, no. This is about acknowledging that Britain is superior. It's not our fault that Paris wasn't up to scratch.

It was surprising that London won. Paris was the odds on favorite to win. Could it be that Jacques Chirac's British Jokes/insults helped swing the final vote to London

"Britain"?

I thought this was about the only civilized part of your forsaken country (i.e. London).

Obviously, the Welsh and Scots have been pillaged beyond repair by the English, and couldn't host such extravaganza anymore. As to the northern Rosbifs... I doubt they are superior to apes, so comparing them to Paris is fairly amusing

I wouldn't have cared one notch if the rival city would have been from any other place than England.

However, this is one more opportunity to have some mutual bashing across the channel, and it is a sport I enjoy immensely

I think it more that the committee closed their eyes and visulized the opening cerimonies with Jacques playing a prominent role.

I think the IOC chose London because it is the best place to eat in the world.
