Millennium Dome
Jul 10th 2005MichaelPro America
London Olympics 2012
The Dome may also be used for some events if London is selected to host the Olympic Games in 2012.
Aftermath
The Dome is now normally closed. It is still of interest to the press, the government’s difficulties in disposing of the Dome being the subject of much critical comment. The amount spent on maintaining the closed building has also been criticised. Some reports indicated the Dome was costing £1 million per month to maintain during 2001, but the government claimed these were exaggerations.
In December 2001 it was announced that Meridian Delta Ltd. had been chosen by the government to develop the Dome as a sports and entertainment complex, and to develop housing, shops and offices on 150 acres (0.6 km²) of surrounding land. Meridian Delta is backed by the American billionaire Philip Anschutz, who has interests in oil, railroads, and telecommunications (the troubled Qwest), as well as a string of sports-related investments. They intend to demolish and redevelop the site of the London Arena at Crossharbour on the Isle of Dogs as part of their scheme to establish a programme of mass entertainments in the Dome.
Philip Anschutz is an amazing man with a vision. He is a Conservative and an American.< /br>
London has been selected to host the Olympic Games in 2012. That is so cool, and the food is better than French shit

Ah come on Michael, we know you just love French food.
I love food from England. We used to get it all the time from my sisters in law and his family. Even the chocolate from GB is so much better than anything found in America. Flakes and Crust chocolate are the best. And their version of fish and chips is so different from anything we see here.
