London Olympics - massive loss of money!

[scarr89]

I am one of the 17,000 is it now? military personnel that will be working at the Olympic park for 8 weeks.

I am in 2 mind about it, frustrated that I'm going to be dicked around working 12hour days 6 on 2 off with a 45min+ commute each way, living in a portacabin in a field with 5000 other military folk and generally being bashed from pillar to post while having to deal with the possibility that I may let an 'offensive weapon/device' into the games as I will be operating one of the rapiscan (x ray machines) for the duration.

On the other hand, this is a once in a lift time opportunity to do work that is out side of my normal routine, work with some of the willing public who want to go to the events and have a bubble while doing so. I think I will get out of it what I put in, so if any of you have tickets at the Olympic park venue come holla at me 

As we kept getting told 'This will be a summer like no other.' Cheese central 

How many of you guys/rest of the public would be moaning if we were hosting the football world cup instead? I know it isn't on quite the same scale but that would cost an AWFUL lot of tax payers money...

i dont think you can compare this to football.... football would bring in much more money than it costs to run a tournament

In all seriousness I probably shouldn't have said that. People have been getting in a lot of trouble recently for posting things on the internet
