BORIS Johnson promised to turn "Olympophobes to Olympomaniacs" yesterday as he responded to criticism that the Games were costing too much.
The London Mayor was questioned over the multi-billion pound cost of the Olympics during a lively debate with city residents.

Johnson said: "We will turn all the Olympophobes to Olympomaniacs by the time 2012 comes around."

He was speaking at the annual State of London Debate in Westminster, where he also said he had brought in a £3 billion economic recovery action plan.

this buffoon is just as bad as that B rated actor,who had his finger on the buttton,and whom gave maggie thatcher wet dreams ,well on spitting image he did lol
another case of "london wants,london gets" and sod the lot of you,just pay up so that those in elitist positions can sup and dine at scruffs expense
what exactly will london olympics do for those in the highlands and islands?,will it put extra cash in their pockets/tills?,not bloody likely
nae wonder londoners sing "consider yourself well skinned,consider yourselfs as a bunch of mugs,who cares if you cant afford to come"
