You know, I should have left for the year

There's a wonderful green belt where I live, an area by the river, all marsh, it's a wonderful place, I walk there just about every day in summer. Now, thanks to the Olympic, those dogfuckers are closing the place off and building a three story basketball court (to be used only by athletes) over about half of it.

Olympics: officially the worst thing to hit the East End since V2s.

But, but.....we ALL support the Olympics........

I'm obviously not a member of 'we' (for a given value of 'we')

Sigh :o(

I am leaving the country over the Olympics. I live on the Isle of Dogs and work at Bank Station, and that's just about the worst transport route of all bar the DLR to Stratford.

So, Portugal. I will swim in the pool, and read in the shade, and visit old ruins, and hang out at a nice biker bar down the road, and not have anything to do with the horrible Olympics and the horrible tourists and the horrible traffic.

You got any family abroad you could cadge off for a couple of weeks? You won't get your green belt back, but you might at least preserve some of your sanity if you can get away from the horror for a bit of it.

It's a good move :o)

We're off to spend a few days with my husband's old mum in Scotland while it's going on!
