9 Years ago to the day, my City of London was struck by bombings. It is something close to my heart, that I will never forget. I was only 8 Years Old at the time, so I didn't really understand at the time, but I remember all the Media attention about it. At the time, I knew there was a bombing, but didn't know the details as to why and how, because I was only 8 Years Old. I cannot imagine what those Families, Friends and Victims went through. All I can say is, to all 52 Innocent Victims who sadly passed away and the 700 Injured Innocent Members of the Public, we will never forget You. Those 4 animals who were behind these nasty and vicious attacks will always be remembered as animals with no heart, but You victims will always be remembered as brave and thoughtful people. Today, we remember those innocent victims and pay our respects to the Victims, Families, Friends and Associates of all those Innocent People. 07/07/05 will never be forgotten. -

The 2012 Olympics bid was a memorable one no doubt and was especially a close one between Paris and London although Paris held the edge over London and was the favorite and it was strongly believe that Paris would win however in the final round London won by a mere Four point surprising a lot of peoples (including some in it own country). It was a huge loss for Paris as it was widely expected they would win. So was the 2012 Sumer Olympics Bid the biggest upset of a candidate city who was widely expected to win?
