The <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/23/olympic-park-security-guards-journalists-photos" target="_blank">Guardian</a> reports: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"Private guards at the Olympic park have been filmed forcibly attempting to stop the media taking pictures and footage of the complex in east London, raising new concerns about potentially aggressive and over-intrusive security during the Games. During the incident two guards from G4S, the security giant which is recruiting at least 10,000 staff for the event, attempted to clamp their hands over the lenses of stills and video cameras, even though the footage is being shot on public land. While there are numerous rules about photography and filming inside the Olympic complex itself, which is private land, there are no restrictions on the use cameras from public areas."</blockquote>Apparently no one told G4S that photos can be taken from public land. This "misunderstanding" by G4S over the law does not bode well for the smooth and "harmonious" running of the games. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml"

that some journalists had a wee bit of a run in with G4S, the private security company protecting the Olympics park, the other day when G4S tried to stop photos being taken by the journalists on public land. The <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/23/olympic-park-security-guards-journalists-photos" target="_blank">Guardian</a> reports: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"Private guards at the Olympic park have been filmed forcibly attempting to stop the media taking pictures and footage of the complex in east London, raising new concerns about potentially aggressive and over-intrusive security during the Games. During the incident two guards from G4S, the security giant which is recruiting at least 10,000 staff for the event, attempted to clamp their hands over the lenses of stills and video cameras, even though the footage is being shot on public land. While there are numerous rules about photography and filming inside the Olympic complex itself, which is private land, there are no restrictions on the use cameras from public areas."</blockquote>Apparently no one told G4S that photos can be taken from public land. This "misunderstanding" by G4S over the law does not bode well for the smooth and "harmonious" running of the games. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml" target="_blank">Olympic Medals won during the Beijing 2008 Olympics</a> Don't forget to visit <a href="http://www.olympicswarehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.olympicswarehouse.com</a> <a href="http://www.olympicsdiary.com/">www.olympicsdiary.com</a> brought to you by <a href="http://kenfrost.com/" target="_blank">www.kenfrost.com</a> "<a href="http://www.thelivingbrand.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Living Brand</a>"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7398023211935356318-5558918358570189505?l=the2008olympics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/HKjno/~4/MDhzEhag3es" height="1" width="1"/>" } ["category"]=> string(3) "g4s" ["category@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2"]=> string(9) "terrorism" ["category#2@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3"]=> string(11) "London 2012" ["category#3@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4"]=> string(8) "security" ["category#4@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5"]=> string(6) "photos" ["category#5@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["date_timestamp"]=> int(1335194220) } [19]=> array(93) { ["id#"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(70) "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398023211935356318.post-8324201948795202522" ["published#"]=> int(1) ["published"]=> string(29) "2012-04-19T03:51:00.000-07:00" ["updated#"]=> int(1) ["updated"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.691-07:00" ["http://www.w3.org/2007/app"]=> array(4) { ["edited#"]=> int(1) ["edited@"]=> string(9) "xmlns:app" ["edited@xmlns:app"]=> string(26) "http://www.w3.org/2007/app" ["edited"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.691-07:00" } ["category#"]=> int(5) ["category@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category@term"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category#2@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#2@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2@term"]=> string(11) "London 2012" ["category#3@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#3@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3@term"]=> string(5) "LOCOG" ["category#4@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#4@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4@term"]=> string(6) "budget" ["category#5@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#5@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5@term"]=> string(17) "health and safety" ["title#"]=> int(1) ["title@"]=> string(8) "xml:base" ["title@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["title"]=> string(46) "A Farking Waste of Money - The £5K Sandcastle" ["atom_content#"]=> int(1) ["atom_content@"]=> string(13) "type,xml:base" ["atom_content@type"]=> string(4) "html" ["atom_content@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["atom_content"]=> string(2290) " <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_IM-VCg2cpo/T4_uJZZXXkI/AAAAAAAAGp0/rhs7yExtvnQ/s1600/sandcastle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="1" height="227" width="222" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_IM-VCg2cpo/T4_uJZZXXkI/AAAAAAAAGp0/rhs7yExtvnQ/s400/sandcastle.jpg" /></a></div>Congratulations to Locog for coming up with new ways of wasting money on the London 2012 Olympics.

Unfortunately, those of you wishing to go and see the sandcastle will be sorely disappointed. Once the requisite PR pictures were taken, the sandcastle was demolished. For why? Locog and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council decreed that it was a health and safety hazard.

All very well, if you are a departing VIP. However, what of those coming to the UK before and during the Games? It seems no one running Heathrow has thought of that. Step forward Culture Select Committee chairman, John Whittingdale, who has pointed out the elephant in the room and said that not enough thought seemed to have been given to ways of coping with long queues at immigration. Seemingly, the much maligned and inept <a href="http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/lin-homers-banquos-ghost-ukba.html" target="_blank">UK Border Agency</a> (UKBA) is whining that it has insufficient money to open all of its passport stations. Mr Whittingdale is quoted by the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17682524" target="_blank">BBC</a> as saying that MPs: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"did not leave the briefing confident that Heathrow was ready to cope with the arrival of a huge number of competitors, Olympic family and visiting tourists in timely fashion. We understand that significant preparations have been made to accommodate unusual sporting equipment, special lanes for the Olympic family, welcoming arrangements for competitors and additional Olympic ambassadors.  However, far less thought seems to have been given to the issue of how to deal with long queues at immigration. The UKBA (UK Border Agency) representative suggested that there was insufficient funding to ensure all passport stations would be open. While visiting tourists will understand that the Olympics is a busy time, if the wait (at immigration) is in excess of an hour it may deter tourists from returning. The second impact may be that planes cannot unload their passengers into the terminal due to capacity being exceeded. This would lead to circling in the air, planes being left on runways or planes blocking gates."</blockquote>In other words, Heathrow will be more of a shambles than ever during the peak travel season.

Terminal 6</a> will be able to cope with the departing Olympics VIPs after the Games. All very well, if you are a departing VIP. However, what of those coming to the UK before and during the Games? It seems no one running Heathrow has thought of that. Step forward Culture Select Committee chairman, John Whittingdale, who has pointed out the elephant in the room and said that not enough thought seemed to have been given to ways of coping with long queues at immigration. Seemingly, the much maligned and inept <a href="http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/lin-homers-banquos-ghost-ukba.html" target="_blank">UK Border Agency</a> (UKBA) is whining that it has insufficient money to open all of its passport stations. Mr Whittingdale is quoted by the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17682524" target="_blank">BBC</a> as saying that MPs: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"did not leave the briefing confident that Heathrow was ready to cope with the arrival of a huge number of competitors, Olympic family and visiting tourists in timely fashion. We understand that significant preparations have been made to accommodate unusual sporting equipment, special lanes for the Olympic family, welcoming arrangements for competitors and additional Olympic ambassadors.  However, far less thought seems to have been given to the issue of how to deal with long queues at immigration. The UKBA (UK Border Agency) representative suggested that there was insufficient funding to ensure all passport stations would be open. While visiting tourists will understand that the Olympics is a busy time, if the wait (at immigration) is in excess of an hour it may deter tourists from returning. The second impact may be that planes cannot unload their passengers into the terminal due to capacity being exceeded. This would lead to circling in the air, planes being left on runways or planes blocking gates."</blockquote>In other words, Heathrow will be more of a shambles than ever during the peak travel season. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml" target="_blank">Olympic Medals won during the Beijing 2008 Olympics</a> Don't forget to visit <a href="http://www.olympicswarehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.olympicswarehouse.com</a> <a href="http://www.olympicsdiary.com/">www.olympicsdiary.com</a> brought to you by <a href="http://kenfrost.com/" target="_blank">www.kenfrost.com</a> "<a href="http://www.thelivingbrand.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Living Brand</a>"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7398023211935356318-5746646176419673410?l=the2008olympics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/HKjno/~4/91JyymXLLmI" height="1" width="1"/>" } ["category"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2"]=> string(7) "tourism" ["category#2@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3"]=> string(12) "terminal six" ["category#3@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4"]=> string(8) "heathrow" ["category#4@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5"]=> string(9) "transport" ["category#5@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["date_timestamp"]=> int(1334228040) } [23]=> array(82) { ["id#"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(70) "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398023211935356318.post-3528802515981344166" ["published#"]=> int(1) ["published"]=> string(29) "2012-04-11T04:41:00.000-07:00" ["updated#"]=> int(1) ["updated"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.615-07:00" ["http://www.w3.org/2007/app"]=> array(4) { ["edited#"]=> int(1) ["edited@"]=> string(9) "xmlns:app" ["edited@xmlns:app"]=> string(26) "http://www.w3.org/2007/app" ["edited"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.615-07:00" } ["category#"]=> int(3) ["category@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category@term"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category#2@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#2@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2@term"]=> string(8) "football" ["category#3@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#3@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3@term"]=> string(4) "fifa" ["title#"]=> int(1) ["title@"]=> string(8) "xml:base" ["title@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["title"]=> string(34) "Septic Bladder Ducks Olympics Draw" ["atom_content#"]=> int(1) ["atom_content@"]=> string(13) "type,xml:base" ["atom_content@type"]=> string(4) "html" ["atom_content@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["atom_content"]=> string(1525) " <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a>Septic Bladder, President of FIFA, is ducking out of attending that London 2012 Olympics football tournament draw at Wembley on April 24.

to ease congestion on London's lousy and third world transport infrastructure, <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/politics/article3414561.ece" target="_blank">the Times</a>reports that  tens of thousands of civil servants will be allowed to avoid travelling to work from 21 July six days before the opening ceremony of the Olympics until 9 September when the Paralympics finish (seven weeks later). They will be allowed to work from home, unlike many of those who work in the private sector. Suffice to say, many people in the private sector are asking how the civil service will function effectively during this seven week hiatus. Others observe that no one will notice the difference! <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml" target="_blank">Olympic Medals won during the Beijing 2008 Olympics</a> Don't forget to visit <a href="http://www.olympicswarehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.olympicswarehouse.com</a> <a href="http://www.olympicsdiary.com/">www.olympicsdiary.com</a> brought to you by <a href="http://kenfrost.com/" target="_blank">www.kenfrost.com</a> "<a href="http://www.thelivingbrand.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Living Brand</a>"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7398023211935356318-454509935430462087?l=the2008olympics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/HKjno/~4/DaZ1-wmNeFo" height="1" width="1"/>" } ["category"]=> string(11) "London 2012" ["category@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2"]=> string(14) "infrastructure" ["category#2@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3"]=> string(9) "whitehall" ["category#3@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4"]=> string(9) "transport" ["category#4@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["date_timestamp"]=> int(1337090280) } [4]=> array(77) { ["id#"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(70) "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398023211935356318.post-4813792651971013419" ["published#"]=> int(1) ["published"]=> string(29) "2012-05-14T09:09:00.000-07:00" ["updated#"]=> int(1) ["updated"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.635-07:00" ["http://www.w3.org/2007/app"]=> array(4) { ["edited#"]=> int(1) ["edited@"]=> string(9) "xmlns:app" ["edited@xmlns:app"]=> string(26) "http://www.w3.org/2007/app" ["edited"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.635-07:00" } ["category#"]=> int(2) ["category@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category@term"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category#2@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#2@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2@term"]=> string(4) "food" ["title#"]=> int(1) ["title@"]=> string(8) "xml:base" ["title@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["title"]=> string(19) "Olympic Bureaucracy" ["atom_content#"]=> int(1) ["atom_content@"]=> string(13) "type,xml:base" ["atom_content@type"]=> string(4) "html" ["atom_content@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["atom_content"]=> string(2992) " <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qhCS-jjq2NwOarrD9QrobnKogCk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qhCS-jjq2NwOarrD9QrobnKogCk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qhCS-jjq2NwOarrD9QrobnKogCk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qhCS-jjq2NwOarrD9QrobnKogCk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a>My thanks to a loyal reader who has written to me advising me of the considerable problems that she has had trying to set up a modest food concession in the Olympic Park during the forthcoming Olympics: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"I made an enquiry with regards to obtaining a unit within the Olympic grounds to sell food in 2007, at that time I was doing my catering from my home but am now established in a premises specialising in authentic Guyanese foods including Caribbean foods.  At the time of my enquiry I was advised that an organisation would be set up to deal with the Olympics.  In May 2009 I contacted the organisers, and I was advised that I needed to registered to be considered for any opportunities, so in May I registered.

The <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/23/olympic-park-security-guards-journalists-photos" target="_blank">Guardian</a> reports: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"Private guards at the Olympic park have been filmed forcibly attempting to stop the media taking pictures and footage of the complex in east London, raising new concerns about potentially aggressive and over-intrusive security during the Games. During the incident two guards from G4S, the security giant which is recruiting at least 10,000 staff for the event, attempted to clamp their hands over the lenses of stills and video cameras, even though the footage is being shot on public land. While there are numerous rules about photography and filming inside the Olympic complex itself, which is private land, there are no restrictions on the use cameras from public areas."</blockquote>Apparently no one told G4S that photos can be taken from public land. This "misunderstanding" by G4S over the law does not bode well for the smooth and "harmonious" running of the games. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml"

that some journalists had a wee bit of a run in with G4S, the private security company protecting the Olympics park, the other day when G4S tried to stop photos being taken by the journalists on public land. The <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/23/olympic-park-security-guards-journalists-photos" target="_blank">Guardian</a> reports: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"Private guards at the Olympic park have been filmed forcibly attempting to stop the media taking pictures and footage of the complex in east London, raising new concerns about potentially aggressive and over-intrusive security during the Games. During the incident two guards from G4S, the security giant which is recruiting at least 10,000 staff for the event, attempted to clamp their hands over the lenses of stills and video cameras, even though the footage is being shot on public land. While there are numerous rules about photography and filming inside the Olympic complex itself, which is private land, there are no restrictions on the use cameras from public areas."</blockquote>Apparently no one told G4S that photos can be taken from public land. This "misunderstanding" by G4S over the law does not bode well for the smooth and "harmonious" running of the games. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml" target="_blank">Olympic Medals won during the Beijing 2008 Olympics</a> Don't forget to visit <a href="http://www.olympicswarehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.olympicswarehouse.com</a> <a href="http://www.olympicsdiary.com/">www.olympicsdiary.com</a> brought to you by <a href="http://kenfrost.com/" target="_blank">www.kenfrost.com</a> "<a href="http://www.thelivingbrand.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Living Brand</a>"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7398023211935356318-5558918358570189505?l=the2008olympics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/HKjno/~4/MDhzEhag3es" height="1" width="1"/>" } ["category"]=> string(3) "g4s" ["category@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2"]=> string(9) "terrorism" ["category#2@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3"]=> string(11) "London 2012" ["category#3@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4"]=> string(8) "security" ["category#4@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5"]=> string(6) "photos" ["category#5@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["date_timestamp"]=> int(1335194220) } [19]=> array(93) { ["id#"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(70) "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398023211935356318.post-8324201948795202522" ["published#"]=> int(1) ["published"]=> string(29) "2012-04-19T03:51:00.000-07:00" ["updated#"]=> int(1) ["updated"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.691-07:00" ["http://www.w3.org/2007/app"]=> array(4) { ["edited#"]=> int(1) ["edited@"]=> string(9) "xmlns:app" ["edited@xmlns:app"]=> string(26) "http://www.w3.org/2007/app" ["edited"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.691-07:00" } ["category#"]=> int(5) ["category@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category@term"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category#2@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#2@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2@term"]=> string(11) "London 2012" ["category#3@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#3@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3@term"]=> string(5) "LOCOG" ["category#4@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#4@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4@term"]=> string(6) "budget" ["category#5@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#5@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5@term"]=> string(17) "health and safety" ["title#"]=> int(1) ["title@"]=> string(8) "xml:base" ["title@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["title"]=> string(46) "A Farking Waste of Money - The £5K Sandcastle" ["atom_content#"]=> int(1) ["atom_content@"]=> string(13) "type,xml:base" ["atom_content@type"]=> string(4) "html" ["atom_content@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["atom_content"]=> string(2290) " <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/y4SxN6Kly81swpWgHO0zg4TUfSQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_IM-VCg2cpo/T4_uJZZXXkI/AAAAAAAAGp0/rhs7yExtvnQ/s1600/sandcastle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="1" height="227" width="222" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_IM-VCg2cpo/T4_uJZZXXkI/AAAAAAAAGp0/rhs7yExtvnQ/s400/sandcastle.jpg" /></a></div>Congratulations to Locog for coming up with new ways of wasting money on the London 2012 Olympics.

Unfortunately, those of you wishing to go and see the sandcastle will be sorely disappointed. Once the requisite PR pictures were taken, the sandcastle was demolished. For why? Locog and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council decreed that it was a health and safety hazard.

All very well, if you are a departing VIP. However, what of those coming to the UK before and during the Games? It seems no one running Heathrow has thought of that. Step forward Culture Select Committee chairman, John Whittingdale, who has pointed out the elephant in the room and said that not enough thought seemed to have been given to ways of coping with long queues at immigration. Seemingly, the much maligned and inept <a href="http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/lin-homers-banquos-ghost-ukba.html" target="_blank">UK Border Agency</a> (UKBA) is whining that it has insufficient money to open all of its passport stations. Mr Whittingdale is quoted by the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17682524" target="_blank">BBC</a> as saying that MPs: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"did not leave the briefing confident that Heathrow was ready to cope with the arrival of a huge number of competitors, Olympic family and visiting tourists in timely fashion. We understand that significant preparations have been made to accommodate unusual sporting equipment, special lanes for the Olympic family, welcoming arrangements for competitors and additional Olympic ambassadors.  However, far less thought seems to have been given to the issue of how to deal with long queues at immigration. The UKBA (UK Border Agency) representative suggested that there was insufficient funding to ensure all passport stations would be open. While visiting tourists will understand that the Olympics is a busy time, if the wait (at immigration) is in excess of an hour it may deter tourists from returning. The second impact may be that planes cannot unload their passengers into the terminal due to capacity being exceeded. This would lead to circling in the air, planes being left on runways or planes blocking gates."</blockquote>In other words, Heathrow will be more of a shambles than ever during the peak travel season.

Terminal 6</a> will be able to cope with the departing Olympics VIPs after the Games. All very well, if you are a departing VIP. However, what of those coming to the UK before and during the Games? It seems no one running Heathrow has thought of that. Step forward Culture Select Committee chairman, John Whittingdale, who has pointed out the elephant in the room and said that not enough thought seemed to have been given to ways of coping with long queues at immigration. Seemingly, the much maligned and inept <a href="http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/lin-homers-banquos-ghost-ukba.html" target="_blank">UK Border Agency</a> (UKBA) is whining that it has insufficient money to open all of its passport stations. Mr Whittingdale is quoted by the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17682524" target="_blank">BBC</a> as saying that MPs: <blockquote class="tr_bq">"did not leave the briefing confident that Heathrow was ready to cope with the arrival of a huge number of competitors, Olympic family and visiting tourists in timely fashion. We understand that significant preparations have been made to accommodate unusual sporting equipment, special lanes for the Olympic family, welcoming arrangements for competitors and additional Olympic ambassadors.  However, far less thought seems to have been given to the issue of how to deal with long queues at immigration. The UKBA (UK Border Agency) representative suggested that there was insufficient funding to ensure all passport stations would be open. While visiting tourists will understand that the Olympics is a busy time, if the wait (at immigration) is in excess of an hour it may deter tourists from returning. The second impact may be that planes cannot unload their passengers into the terminal due to capacity being exceeded. This would lead to circling in the air, planes being left on runways or planes blocking gates."</blockquote>In other words, Heathrow will be more of a shambles than ever during the peak travel season. <a href="http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml" target="_blank">Olympic Medals won during the Beijing 2008 Olympics</a> Don't forget to visit <a href="http://www.olympicswarehouse.com/" target="_blank">www.olympicswarehouse.com</a> <a href="http://www.olympicsdiary.com/">www.olympicsdiary.com</a> brought to you by <a href="http://kenfrost.com/" target="_blank">www.kenfrost.com</a> "<a href="http://www.thelivingbrand.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Living Brand</a>"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7398023211935356318-5746646176419673410?l=the2008olympics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/HKjno/~4/91JyymXLLmI" height="1" width="1"/>" } ["category"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2"]=> string(7) "tourism" ["category#2@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3"]=> string(12) "terminal six" ["category#3@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#4"]=> string(8) "heathrow" ["category#4@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#5"]=> string(9) "transport" ["category#5@domain"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["date_timestamp"]=> int(1334228040) } [23]=> array(82) { ["id#"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(70) "tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398023211935356318.post-3528802515981344166" ["published#"]=> int(1) ["published"]=> string(29) "2012-04-11T04:41:00.000-07:00" ["updated#"]=> int(1) ["updated"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.615-07:00" ["http://www.w3.org/2007/app"]=> array(4) { ["edited#"]=> int(1) ["edited@"]=> string(9) "xmlns:app" ["edited@xmlns:app"]=> string(26) "http://www.w3.org/2007/app" ["edited"]=> string(29) "2012-05-19T04:46:21.615-07:00" } ["category#"]=> int(3) ["category@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category@term"]=> string(15) "London Olympics" ["category#2@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#2@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#2@term"]=> string(8) "football" ["category#3@"]=> string(11) "scheme,term" ["category#3@scheme"]=> string(31) "http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" ["category#3@term"]=> string(4) "fifa" ["title#"]=> int(1) ["title@"]=> string(8) "xml:base" ["title@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["title"]=> string(34) "Septic Bladder Ducks Olympics Draw" ["atom_content#"]=> int(1) ["atom_content@"]=> string(13) "type,xml:base" ["atom_content@type"]=> string(4) "html" ["atom_content@xml:base"]=> string(55) "http://the2008olympics.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" ["atom_content"]=> string(1525) " <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/g6lGu_Hfk7N8ubVMjth21FFyJJk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a>Septic Bladder, President of FIFA, is ducking out of attending that London 2012 Olympics football tournament draw at Wembley on April 24.
