Monday 13th August
We are in Launceston for work today and tomorrow. A beautiful day for a drive up through the Midlands – sparkling clean air, blue sky, green grass. Heaven!
On the way we discussed, of course, the Olympics. Especailly how every single time the Games are coming up, there is a flurry of disapproval and horror from the media.
They won’t be ready in time; they are SO disorganised in Australia/UK/China/Blahblahistan.
The traffic won’t cope
The taxi drivers will go on strike
We’ll all be rooned
It will be an unmitigated disaster
The weather in Australia/UK/China/Blahblahistan is all wrong for Olympic Games. It will be too hot/too cold/too wet
Predictions for London were just as dire, with the added threat of dodgy security guards. Tim and I laughed at all of this and then listened to the World Today on the ABC. Suddenly on came…a flurry of disapproval and horror. The Games will be a dismal failure in Rio!!!
They won’t be ready in time; they are SO disorganised in Brazil.
The traffic won’t cope
The taxi drivers will go on strike
We’ll all be rooned
It will be an unmitigated disaster
The weather Brazil is all wrong for Olympic Games. It will be too hot and just all WRONG!
As well as the above, it will be very hard for the Australian teams. They won’t be able to get their horses, bikes, equipment or even their fair selves to Brazil. It is just all TOO HARD!!!
And so it goes….
Yes, I heard exactly this on the news last night. Maybe host cities rely on such doubt to galvanise them into taking the required level of action!
