If we manage to get the 2012 Olympics here in Britain, I think that the music played during the presentation should be Nimrod. This is because the piece has relevance to comradeship, and also to Britain. Anyone agree/disagree?

    They should use the Blood and the Glory by Steve Vai. Very patriotic sounding. And it's based on the various types of traditional british music.

    You'll find everything you need to know about our bid there.

    Ladies and gentleman, I urge you to vote me Mayor of London in 2008. I will make our nation's capital fit for a major intercontinental event such as the Olympics.

    When one of the companies whose sole job it is to manage and maintain 66% of the underground makes £1 million a week, you start to wonder whether your money is well spent. I'd like to know precisely where all of the money from tube tickets goes, and i'd like to make sure there's enough to
    a) keep a suitably regular service
    b) keep the tracks and stations suitably maintained
    c) ensure we retain enough to update the stations, trains and systems whenever possible to ensure we have a good system.

    Following this, i'd like to see extensive passenger tunnel enlargement to increase the capability of traffic into and out of each station. I'd like to see updated train anti-collision management systems like they propose to introduce soon introduced within 7 years across the entire Underground to allow more trains to run more often.
