Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 Having trouble getting the photos will try again later (sorry for the suspense) it's not that great though Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 Wow the book thing is actually a pretty good read. Talks about finances history of the games and manchesters sport history. Also talks why Manchester discusses other candidates and says Melbourne recently held games belgrade in chaos and wait for it too soon for Toronto and Atlanta 2 summer and 2 winter games in recent years (fail haha) it talks highly about Athens. Mentions if they lose not til 08 2000 they thought was Beijing dunno 2004 and then 2008 there's plus 1908 1948 so 2008. Close I mean 2012. Talks about how they built the first computer and fastest growif international airport in Europe. When I say talks about if they lose I mean if Manchester loses not if athens loses. Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Posted May 4, 2012 Interesting stuff the marathon near Eiffel tower would've been cool and seems like the Venues were to be all close together. Really enjoying this book. Where did I chase you all too! Quote
Lord David Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Beach Volleyball would have been at the base of the Eiffel Tower. A comparison to London's Horse Guards Parade venue. Quote

A comparison to London's Horse Guards Parade venue. haha very interesting, nothing new popping up on ebay unfortunately lucky the paris bid book will hold me over for a while Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Posted May 7, 2012 So happy the guy who sold me the Paris bid book gave me a refund of 50 bucks cause i had to pay that extra 70 bucks for postage turns out it's only 20 bucks extra so happy! And i wish someone would buy that god for saken banff bid book sick of seeing it on ebay Quote
Lord David Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 Who cares about Banff? They didn't then and certainly don't now. Calgary was always the bid to go with, not the mountain resort of Banff with Calgary playing a secondary role. Quote
