Gold! SG mini Olympics is coming. Look out...
GOLD! I was in Australia (as a buckaroo) for the Olympics and lots of neighbourhoods had local events: sporting, musical, criminal etc. It was an eye opener for a young priest I can tell you . Now it's happening here. Hurray.
The Tollington family are in full 2012training like the Von Trapps running from Hitler and our neigbours are renting our their flat for the duration of the games to a Bavarian TV crew. So it's gonna be BIG.
This is such a sporty district tho we don't have much green space, Finsbury Park aside - and that is booked out for official 2012 hospitality and police dog training camp. What should we do for the Olympics? And more to the point, given the piles of expected dog shit - where?
It could be that people will be shagged out by then as the Jubilee festival will be massive around here given the vibrant ethnic mix, republican flaccidity and surplus of hairdressing establishments. But surely we should make the Olympics a golden memory our grandchildren will remember when their rotten teeth fallout in the 2090s and we are long gone?

Likewise in Barcelona, there are motorways which were only built because of the Olympics - sadly they are hardly used now but the Spanish have always prefered trains for longer journeys. But you get the point. I'm looking forward to cheering Spurs in their new Stratford ground in 2013 (and the junior Tollingtons, passionate members of Junior Spurs are also very thrilled). Without 2012 we would still be in the shit hole that is White Hart Lane - imagine that!
Face it. When the country is poverty-stricken and there are sever cuts depressing everyone isn't it at least good that we have the 2012 treats to look forward to and take our anxious minds off our present troubles?
(I might respect competitive sport more if they weren't such authenticity bores. Allow drugs, cybernetics, whatever, and you'd have a proving ground for the superhuman, which would interest me. As is...which unaided normal human can throw a thing furthest? Why should I care?)
