Yup, that Olympic committee is determined to lead the medals board.. or else! :biggrin:

I'm surprised they haven't set an auto-destruct yet. Although with it being east London there's no way to tell if they haven't already set it off. :biggrin:

I doubt anything will happen, it seems just like an 'in-the-know' military organisation is just putting the obvious in place to make it seem as if we have something to fear. After all as mentioned in another thread, the Olympics is little more than a focus of energy - it seems they wish to flavour it with some fear.

Don't be surprised to see tanks and perhaps a battle ship or two (yes, even battleships ;) ) armed to the teeth with enough firepower to scare even the most hostile of E.T.'s out of this galaxy.

It's so funny (sort'a) when you know the 'game plan' and aren't affected (emotionally) by these displays of obvious, rampant fear tactics. Now, when Little Bo Peep awakens the sheep they might actually live happily ever after.

Hey, Little Bo -- are ya' out there? Hello!? :bounce:

I just think it is disgusting that the owners of the property cant say they don't want them on their roof. It is completely absurd...

Biggest problem, shoot down any craft, and you got burning debris raining down on the crowds instead. I bet there'll be a few more helicopters over my way at the time, maybe get a glimpse of those typhoons.

There was a suit brought and the courts ruled against them. The tenants were afraid the missiles would be a target for terrorists. The whole thing stinks like one eyed mascot sh!t.
