Posting from the train so just a quickie...
As well as awarding London the 2012 Olympic Games the IOC is also debating which of its current sports should be given the boot in favour of new 'candidate sports' ('roller sports' is one of the mooted new categories - think Starlight Express and medals ).
Glad though I am (in a slightly churlish northern way) that London has won the games, I'm not really sure that synchronised diving honestly qualifies as an integral part of the 'greatest show on earth'.
So what olympic sport would you dump and why? And what new sports should claim their space in the Olympic pantheon (darts? Snooker? Or a broader 'pub sports' set of events?)

OK, lets get rid of synchronised diving - can I suggest we replace it with 'wellie throwing' or a pancake race - just for some sheer fun. Maybe they could have wacky races in the opening ceremony.
We get a football match, what about Liverpool what do you get?
