I don't know who was responsible for that video, but it was ingenious.
Thank you.

I think we were given the Olympics because of the Queens Diamond Jubilee - as they knew it would all fit together! :D

You idiot! It's obvious that we got the Olympics in 2012 to fit in with the Queens Jubilee - you need to use your brain mate!

Kes I think you are barking up the wrong tree with this one. The Olympics could have gone to any of several countries in 2007. And think about it, there's a possibility that there may not have been a Diamond Jubilee if the Queen didn't make it to 2012 - she is 86 years old after all.

I don't think there was any connection at all between the two when the award was made, but as the time for both has drawn closer there will obviously be or appear to be a symbiosis between the two.

With all due respect :D It was 2005 when they made the decision that GB were holding the Olympics not 2007.

Mmm it's up to you what ever you think is alright by me. But that doesn't mean your right.:rolleyes:

Agreed.

Our bid was put together shortly after the Queen's golden jubilee, and made no reference to her diamond jubilee, because as you say, there was no guarantee there'd be one.

Apologies on one count, it was as you say 2005. I was sidetracked on that by thnking of 7/7, the bombings the day after the successful bid was announced.
