Things just get better and better. I have a great life at uni, a great family; I’ve had a top year, better than I can ever imagine. And now, London has won the 2012 Olympics. This is great news. However, I now have an overwhelming temptation to gloat at the French. I won’t be the first to note that the 200th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, another occasion where we beat the French, was this week, and the Olympic celebrations are going on in Trafalgar square as I write. Oh, what a pretty coincidence?

Seriously though, commiserations to our French, Spanish, American and Russian rivals. I think the Olympics will be great for London (hopefully, it will get them to do something about disabled access to public transport) and the whole country. I only hope we can build the stadium in time. The builders need to take less tea breaks.

Nice one London.
