you tell us what that money will be spent on, after all your company are responsible for the build of the project with that budget!

I work for the company behind the mini conglomerate who won the bid for the olympics to come to London. We are the UK's leading construction company, and we are not getting involved as it is too risky. However, we are managing the project, so should the construction companies fail to deliver by the milestones, we will be building what is left on an open cheque book from the government.

A lot will be wasted on the build of the games, but i bet it will be the best one seen for a long time hopefully giving this country a good mark instead of all the negative critism we normally get from foreign nationals

Any company on contracts that size in the current climate without VOP clauses is gonna get burnt.

Those partnerships involves the company i work for Laing O'Rourke what about you ADG?

Just shut up and build the fooker. And make a good job of it too.

not that I'm still bitter or owt - but I couldn't afford to pay the extortionate business rates the Govt charged me - but they would have crushed me like an insect if I didn't pay the bas-tards in full - I'm still in debt now because of it
I HATE Government bodies, especially when I see and hear of all the money being flung around for things like this, with huge bonuses going into the pockets of company "managers" as a result of syphoning away the very money I was struggling to pay

It IS down to you, after all you are the most important person on this board. I'm gonna tell my bu..., (bastad cADG) erm, best pal Seb Coe.

Maggie Thatch, Edwina Currie both had fantastic tits.

I wouldn't dismiss the Government body fantasy willy nilly, my dear Mr P.

Where and doing what?

i work in the north east designing gas/water pipelines (E&I) across the South West Coast. We are currently working on a water pipeline 50+km running through the centre of the country

what and who do you work for like ripper & ADG?

Ripper and ADG work?

I would say hold your water for eight weeks and then come and tell us about what a great spectacle it's going to be because Beijing is going to make Sydney look like a school sports day.

And at that, they haven't raided the country's charity fund i.e. the Lottery money.

Are you happy rebuilding the most prosperous city in the UK out of the tax on the dozy??

Many of the previous cities that have held the Olympics are still repaying the debt they were left in. Luckily we are too advanced and superior to let that happen to us though, eh?!

Are China using any of the money they have allegedly 'acquired' from the supply of arms to Sudan that are mysteriously appearing in Darfur?
Nah... a fine upstanding country like China, who are the model the rest of us aspire to, wouldn't stoop to those levels.
Bugger the BBC.........can they not get anything right?
Somebody must have deliberately put labels of Chinese origin on such arms.
