London Gets the Olympics!

After having come to the rescue twice in the last 100 years of the olympics, we now finally have a proper chance at hosting it without having to step in at the last minute.....it really is quite exciting, to say the least. The Olympics , in my back yard. I'm bloody gobsmacked.
check out the webcam for Trafalgar Square, where there are lots of celebrations going on:

London is the first city ever to host the Games three times. Whooaaah. Whose the Daddy now?
