Beach Vollyball is er...coming home

In Trafalgar Square after the news of London winning the 2012 Olympic bid was announced. Scenes of jubilation as Londoners celebrated really sticking it to the French! Spice Girl Mel C pranced around on stage, looking for all the world more like somebody that would ask you 'do you have a loyalty card?' than a pop star, but otherwise excellent.

The builders working on the National Portrait Gallery downed tools to watch the festivities and, no doubt, draw up a bid for construction of an athletics stadium or two. Already the office is a-buzz with rumours that the beach volleyball will be held in Horseguards Parade, meaning that lunchtime letching might well have to be added to the list of Olympic sports.

Concerns too that some sports will have to be adapted to London life. For instance, if a modern pentathelete pulls out their rifle in St. James' Park, there's a good chance they'll be blown out of their trainers by a Met tactical firearms officer…who embarrassingly will go on to win gold. Mind you, the Met's mounted division will clean up at the equestrian events after baton-whipping all competitors!
