2012


The Olympics are now over but don't shed a tear here's a party to celebrate it coming to London in 2012!! If only there was a party to celebrate every end/start of various parts of your lives. I mean course there's birthday and wedding parties but why not have a 'You may of just split up with your girlfriend but here's to the start of your life as a bachelor' party or a 'goodbye clean shaven, hello mysterious beard look' party. I guess the split up party currently manifests itself as going out, getting drunk and finding a 'rebound' but not all of us find this entirely useful. Even better a party which takes in all the history and heritage of you and your previous relationships, with the evening climaxing in all your previous and potential future partners circling the venue holding their own personal flags, ok maybe that needs more thought.

So Anyway yes it was great to see us British being so proud to be hosting the next games. We pulled out all the stops, Scouting for Girls murdered The Clash's 'London Calling' joining The Feeling as favourites for 'band entertainment' at televised British celebrations. We relied heavily on the usual chant-along classics (Queen, Take That) whilst various presenters interviewed a member of every age and ethnic category in Britain, every one of them with an amusing anecdote to tell. At one point Matt Baker interviewed someone based on them having, as he put it, 'A birthday in 2012' this does sound like a rarity. 2012, seems to have lost all meaning to me as a year. It's just solely the Olympics Games. Before it will be 2011 and after, 2013...it will only exclusively be 2012 for 2 weeks in August, and I'm already looking forward to it me.
