I nearly asked why we weren't doing any next year, or in 2010/1.

Then mentally slapped myself. *facepalm*

Do you have a list of the times you've disagreed with me for reference? :)

Anyway, this thread is in danger of being deleted as it is completely pointless to talk about tube challenges that might happen in four years' time, and some of you agree with me so it can't be a bad decision.

So why not discuss it in 2012? You don't need four years to plan it.

How do any of you know what you'll be doing in summer 2012?

I for one will make sure that I'm in London. I have been in the USA for the past two Olympics and their TV coverage is truely awful. They only cover USA medal winners, most Americans would have no idea how well Team GB performed.

The DLR was a bit rubbish to do this year, but in 2012 it will be a bit of a more interesting challenge with the Canning Town-Stratford International branch open, as well the extension to Woolwich Arsenal. Possibly more as well?

Anyway, surely we should be scheduling the 2010 Winter Olympics first?!

Shouldn't you be scheduling your lives first? ;)

And er, several years later here it is. Thread unlocked for discussion. As if it's still important ... :roll:

Does one have to do all of these events?

I just have a feeling that my all lines efforts will come to nothing if I don't participate.
