Wouldn't shock me at all if the Olympic Village isn't vandalized, burned, and pillaged to some degree before the first events.
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

Paralympic tickets don't go on sale until September and I'm crossing my fingers they are cheaper. I'd really like to go see Lee Pearson win us another para-dressage clean sweep, even though I can get into the able-bodied Olympics for free on a pass."The Jaguar's going cheap"

Food & drink and mobile phones look likely to be banned from the arenas:

Do one, Olympics. I'm not paying stupid money for a bottle of water in the middle of August, nor paying inflated prices for crappy food when I can make a bag of sandwiches for a couple of quid. And I'm not travelling into the capital without a mobile phone.
Utterly stupid.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Food and Drink I can appreciate, as they want to maximise the profits from the overprices outlets there. But mobile phones? No way, that'll never work. I'm not going to go out without my mobile, especially not in a busy place like that, and nor am I going to hand it in at a desk.
To be fair they do say "The mobile phone ban is likely to be enforced only in venues where silence is required during the event, such as gymnastics and archery."
However they have the same issue at Wimbledon and they manage it through signage and frequent announcements, even thought there's usually one mobile that goes off during the match!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

But you haven't work and trained hard for four years when your at the cinema, comedy show or the theatre. I for one would be pretty peeved if my chance at a medal was ruined by some moron on the phone to his mate 'yeah, I'm on the right hand side....yeah....right next to the McDonalds sign...'
My phone has an alarm clock! Ner Ner! :p

Dave, I can see your point but a Snooker world final is the first to 17 (or 19?) frames compared to say 90 seconds gymnastics. You could have taken or missed lots of good chances during a match to take the title. I dont quite think that it is comparable to working hard for something that will be over and done with in less than 2 minutes. Also, the setting and mentality of the fans is also quite different in Snooker compared to many other sports.
