:funneh :funneh The Olympic Games began over 2,700 years ago in Olympia, in southwest Greece. The Games were part of a religious festival. The Greek Olympics, thought to have begun in 776 BC, were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis. People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part. :left: :left:

London needs the Olympics,the Olympics need the tube. :whistle
It isn't difficult to win concessions when you hold all the cards...it's kind of like us...and Christmas. :d'oh!
Trouble is the CWU "folded" everytime the cards were stacked in their favour with a winning hand.

To quote the prophet Don Schlitz, in a song popularised by Kenny Rogers :oops: ...

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
