an email from the brit chamber floated into the inbox:

Eyes glued to the big screen, the IOC Chairman was opening the envelope that would reveal the winner of the closest Olympic bid contest in history.
Then the words came…
“London”. Then he repeated it, “London”.
You backed the bid. We won. Now lets celebrate this historic victory.
September 22nd 2005
some posh hotel

bloody hell, it costs 90 quid just to attend this party. 90 quid, mind. just to rub shoulders with em snooty scion's of the brit community.
who may just be council estate chav's once upon a time. or who still ain't aware that the sun had set on the empire a L-O-N-G time ago.
as enscribed by the letter b @ August 19, 2005 09:57 AM | someone's pingedi suppose it's the ballroom rental that's factored in as well. re-disco: i can safely assume that it's organised by old geezer's for old geezers reliving their youth. not that i'm not an old geezer meself.
why not some amateur metal rock band instead, eh?
as blahed by the letter b @ August 19, 2005 12:04 PMDoesn't sound like free anything to me. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could eat or drink £90 worth. Besides...disco?!?
