So how many members of MR has visited any of the events around Stratford?
And what is that funny looking tower next to the stadium?

Let us poor souls that can't make it hear a little about what it is like to be part of, involved in, or watching at the 2012 London Olympics.

I guess. It looks like it had heart burn and vomited its steel intestines. I thought it was some sort of fancy Olympic Cauldron, that the flame was was going to the top in some sort of cart on the outside.

Speaking of Olympic cauldrons the giant french fry box is still standing in Atlanta.
