The row intensifies !

Those running the "team" are now threatening to sue those running the games ! (LOL)

(PS - Why do we need to "raise money" to "send" a team? The games are being held here !!!!!
Massively inflated "organisers" wages, perhaps ?)

2.5 million buyers (IF they actually buy) - and 6.6 million tickets.

I can feel my taxes increasing by the minute.
(but nice "spin" by headlining the piece "Millions sign up to buy Olympic tickets" - making it look as if its a success ! - LOL !)

Quite clearly, the "advance registrations" are well below anticipated levels - otherwise why the need for a "ballot"? - why not simply sell the tickets? White Elephant ! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
