I'm rather hopeful Blackpool will win personally Wink

It would definately kick the towns visitor numbers up a notch and create more UK visitors.

Greenwich!!!!! 10 mins from me blinding.

me and about 6 of my mates got jobs as labourers at the millenium dome when we left school in 97, thats why it was no good, we ruined it.

this is a true story though.

my mate knew the foreman really well and hed let him drive jeeps around the site to pick people up.(he was only 16)

he convinced this other guy that didnt know him but had seen him driving the jeeps that he could drive this mini dumper thing ,i dont remember exactly what it was.

This was the day that some cabenit ministers and other "important people" were turning up .

this convoy is driving down one of the streets inspecting the surounding area and my mate is driving the wrong way down it right at em!(the roads wernt open to the public so you could usualy drive anyway you liked)

As hes clocked them hes stopped 50 yards ahead of them but in the process of doing so stalled the dumper.

the site managers and foreman are screaming at him all the workers (especially us) were laughing and jeering him.

All these guys in suits are out the cars and wandering aroung trying to find out whats going on.

My mate came up with the perfect solution though, the personification of calmness in this time of crisis.

he wrapped his green workmans jacket round his head and legged it!! I mean he flew across the site not beind able to see where his going properly.

all this in veiw if the cabenit ministers.

I have no idea how it was explained to them, boy it was funny to see.

I'm in Warwick (midlands) but I would still vote for Blackpool. Something like this just has to be there. It was suggested sometime ago that the whole front be turned into mini Vegas and I think that's an excellent idea.

It's all a waste of time though as we know its going to London. I don't know why they let all the bidders waste their time and money in this charade.

They did it with the Olympics, Millennium Dome, Wembley ..........

I'm in woolwich.

Blackheath is were i tell people i'm from when they ask me to elaborate on which part of s e london i'm from Wink

if by good you mean, constant arguing, tables flying all over the place, the most string bets you'll eer see in a single game   then yer theres a couple Cheesy

what about in blackheath, all that money floating about, any games on the go.

there used to be a touney in the workingmens clup opposite blackheath rugby club on a thursday night i dont think they run it anymore.

i know where theres private games in downham, catford,sydnem, bexlyheath and plumstead if your interested though.

The Casino Advisory Panel ( http://www.culture.gov.uk/cap/ ) makes a recommendation to the minister for Culture, Media and Sports who will most likely go with their choice... that said...
The current minister of said agency is one Richard Caborn.... MP for sheffield central........


Hmmmmmmmmm......
Anyone know where we can bet on this? Wink
